How later courts describe this case

  • finding that "[t]o hold that evidence obtained by a parole officer in the course of carrying out this duty cannot be utilized in a subsequent prosecution would unduly immunize parolees from conviction."
  • federal agents gained admission to defendant's hotel room by having hotel manager knock on defendant's door and announcing only his presence
  • “The mere fact that the police officer was the first to suspect that appellant was engaged in criminal activity and related this fact to the parole officer and was present at the subsequent investigation in no way alters the legality of the parole officer’s presence.”
