¶1This is a criminal case in which defendant was convicted of Theft in the Second Degree. On appeal, his sole assignment of error is the denial of his motion to suppress evidence seized from his house pursuant to a warrant which was executed after 10 p.m. but which contained no endorsement authorizing nighttime service. We affirm.
¶2Defendant claims that the service of a warrant without a nighttime service endorsement in violation of ORS lSSNeSCS)
¶3Although two members of this panel dissented in Brock, the facts here are such that even the dissenters in Brockwould agree suppression is not warranted. In fact, defendant in this case (who was himself a policeman) was called to the scene of the search by radio and fully apprised of the search and its purpose before the house was entered. As suggested in the dissent in Brock, "… [t]he statutory, rather than constitutional, nature of the duty imposed … leaves the courts free to limit the instances in which the sanction of suppression is imposed to those in which the full range of statutory purposes have been violated.” 53 Or App at 807. No underlying purposes were violated here.
¶4Affirmed.
¶5 ORS 133.565(3) provides:
¶6"(3) Except as otherwise provided herein, the search warrant shall be executed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. and within five days from the date of issuance. The judge issuing the warrant may, however, by indorsement [sic] upon the face of the warrant, authorize its execution at any time of the day or night and may further authorize its execution after five days, but not more than 10 days from date of issuance.”
