In reality, the allegation about the “rap video” was relayed to a senior officer on Sept. In her underlying decision issued four months ago, Judge Dick said the warrant used to seize the video “was invalid on its face” because the Baton Rouge Police officer who wrote it included “misleading information” - namely a statement claiming that a “reliable witness” had informed police that a group of people were brandishing firearms and filming a rap video outside Gaulden’s grandfather’s home on Sept.
“The court addressed standing at length in its prior ruling, and the government fails to show that the court committed a manifest error of law or fact,” Judge Dick wrote in her Friday ruling. If it could, we would no longer have a Fourth Amendment,” Gaulden’s defense lawyers wrote. “That the illegally searched card turns out to contain video, some of which the government claims shows criminal activity (though the criminality of that activity is precisely what is in dispute), cannot retroactively justify a grievously illegal and unconstitutional search. Gaulden’s lawyers responded in an April filing that Big38Enterprise is not only Gaulden’s personal LLC, but he’s the only person authorized to transfer money on its behalf - and they said it doesn’t matter what was on the SD card. The video evidence should therefore be admitted at trial,” the prosecutors wrote in their March motion. It was Gaulden’s burden to prove standing, and he did not do so.

“The compelling evidence of Gaulden’s brazen criminal activity should not be excluded from trial because Gaulden’s personal rights were not violated by the searches and seizures at issue. They also argued he had no Fourth Amendment privacy interest because the videos they intended to offer at trial depicted “conduct he knowingly exposed to the public on the streets of Baton Rouge.” They claimed Gaulden had no Fourth Amendment property interest in the videos because they were commissioned by a limited liability company named Big38Enterprise. 24 decision, prosecutors shifted strategy and claimed for the first time that the rapper, whose legal name is Kentrell Gaulden, actually lacked sufficient standing to even challenge the admissibility of the videos in the first place.
