Determining whether a bicycle is stolen based on a victims allegation?

  • Resumen

  • Alright, guys got another question for you for roadside chat. This one is long fact pattern, but I think it's worth it right. This one is the question is determining if a bicycle is stolen based on an alleged victims accusation. So this question comes from an officer in California. And he did a very, very good job give me, you know, a lot of background for this case. And the essence of this case is, you know, is there probable cause? Is there forth an issue, and basically taking an alleged victims word at face value, that somebody has their bike and it's stolen? Right, what not much more. And I think that's a great scenario. So let's let me read the fact pattern. And let me address a few issues. Okay. So a little long, but again, that's why we're here to see what you would do. Alright, so this is what he said, a resident of a neighboring city came to our PD to report that a bicycle was stolen from her home about three days ago. The theft had not been reported to her local PD prior to coming to our PD, very common, right. But she did post a theft on a social media app called next door. The bicycle was an older beach cruiser style bicycle, with a child seat attached to the back. The resident did not have any proof of ownership, such as a purchase receipt or a serial number of the stolen bike. Now, at this point, one question I do have the option for the officer? And I don't know the answer is, is does the resident also have pictures of her, you know, with the with the bike with her kid, you know, on the bike, you know, that would kind of help circumstantially that the bike belonged to her. I'm thinking that she did, I'm gonna assume that she did, because it's going to be pretty hard to ask people to look for a stolen bike, with just some words, you're going to probably want a picture. So let's assume that the victim here has a picture that that's all she has those a picture of her riding the bike or, you know, next to the house and so forth. A few days after the victim posted the stuff on the app, another user on the app posted a picture showing that a male a black male was riding the bicycle, and that the bike matches description that the victim said was stolen, right. So again, I'm assuming as a picture here, if no picture, it's less circumstantial evidence that she owns the bike. According to the person who posted the picture, the male was last seen riding the bike in our city in the top city, behind the shopping center with a transient encampment nearby. Now, the encampment is along the 405 freeway, and the victim requests that the officers check on this area and see if they can locate her bicycle. And also check the area and saw a bicycle matching description. Matching description perfectly. Right. So now, almost now I'm thinking that there is no picture. But anyway, it was tied to a tree inside the cabin. Next to one of the tents about one foot or so from this particular tent, the officer contacted a white male who did not see the other suspect riding the bicycle from the camp...
