Shock Ruling: Iowa Judge Dismisses Case Against Jockey Caught With Five Buzzers
Stewards at Prairie Meadows racetrack & casino in Iowa have reinstated the license of jockey Roberto Morales found earlier this year to be in possession of five electrical devices and a handgun after a District Court judge ruled the Iowa law permitting a warrantless search of his vehicle was unconstitutional.
On June 5, 2014, acting on a tip that some Prairie Meadows jockeys may be using electrical devices often called buzzers, batteries or machines to stimulate their mounts in races, special agent Mark Ludwick of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation conducted a warrantless search of four jockeys and their vehicles in the tracks parking lot.
Nothing was found on the jockeys or in three of the vehicles, but Ludwicks search of Morales car produced five batteries, a .25 caliber firearm and a prescription drug without a prescription.
Morales was arrested and charged with three counts of prohibited acts for possessing three working and two non-working electrical devices, unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of prescription drugs. Stewards summarily suspended Morales the following day.
The search was permitted under Iowa code section 99D.8A(5), which states: The licensee or a holder of an occupational license shall consent to agents of the division of criminal investigation of the department of public safety or commission employees designated by the administrator of the commission to the search without a warrant of the licensee or holders person, personal property and effects, and premises which are located within the racetrack enclosure or adjacent facilities under control of the licensee to inspect or investigate for criminal violations of this chapter or violations of rules adopted by the commission.
Attorneys for Morales filed a motion to suppress the evidence and to dismiss the charges because they claimed the Iowa law requiring a licensees consent to search was unconstitutional. They also argued the search was not conducted, as specified by the code, within the confines of a racetrack, stable shed, building or grounds, or within the confines of a stable, shed, building or grounds where a horse or dog is kept. The search of Morales vehicle was conducted in a parking lot shared with the general public outside of the racetrack gates or stable area.
Judge Carla Schemmel of Iowas Fifth District Agent wrote in her opinion that Agent Ludwick required either a warrant or some independent individualized suspicion, if not probable cause, to search defendants person and personal effects. Because Agent Ludwick lacked both, the search of defendant in this case was unreasonable in violation of Article I, Section 8 of the Iowa Constitution and the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Her decision is contrary to a 1985 U.S. District Court ruling in New Jersey in which jockey Bill Shoemaker and other riders lost a lawsuit against Hal Handel, then executive director of the New Jersey Racing Commission, over a random drug and alcohol testing program imposed by regulators.
Saying it received a wave of criticism from federal and state courts across the country, the judge wrote that few courts have followed the Shoemaker decision, and then only in areas involving security and public safety.
Judge Schemmel wrote that the Iowa law is not primarily concerned with public safety, but with integrity. This provision exists solely to ensure that jockeys adhere to fair practices in what can only be described, at its best, as a gambling venture and source of public amusement. The Court therefore declines to adopt Shoemakers adventurous conclusion that persons engaged in a heavily regulated business necessarily have a diminished expectation of privacy in their persons and personal effects.
The section of that code permitting warrantless searches of a jockeys person, personal property and effects, she wrote, is facially unconstitutional.
Any such slippery slope rationale to justify a warrantless search eviscerates the command of the Fourth Amendment and creates a subclass of Americans unworthy of its full protection based on their chosen occupation, she wrote.
As a result, evidence taken in that search was suppressed and may not be used in court.
Judge Schemmel also ruled the state failed to prove that a racetrack parking lot is covered under the code as part of the racetrack enclosure or adjacent facility.
As a result of that interpretation of Iowa code, all counts against Morales were dismissed.
Stewards thus ruled on Saturday: Based upon Judge Schemmels ruling, Jockey Roberto Morales is hereby restored to good standing.

Tough sledding for the Lakers...... allowing a league worst 112 ppg, traveling to face defensive minded Memphis allowing a league low 87.... esp early on
504 Memphis Grizzlies 1st Half -5½ -107* vs Los Angeles Lakers
Plus fast starting Dallas at home .. versus the money making but slow starting Kings
508 Dallas Mavericks 1st Half -4 -107* vs Sacramento Kings
The SEC is all about scheduling...(a conversation we have had many times)...Weighing Mo's schedule, not one win versus an SEC foe with a winning record.... versus Bama's road scoring (near 14 PPg under season average) even more glaring when considering a home scoring average of 46......versus the 23 away...
Bama's offense and games for the most part away from Tusc. not all that impressive...
Like Bama to win but like the 3 plus scores with the Dog..
