condition of pretrial release, required a showing of probable cause, despite defendants prelease consent

US v. Owens, 424 F.3d 649 (7th Cir. 2005)(evidence suggesting defendant had committed prior, uncharged bank robbery seven years earlier was inadmissable, not harmless).
US v. Sanders, 424 F.3d 768 (8th Cir. 2005)(Defendant unequivocally withdrew his consent to search of his person).
US v. Scott, 424 F.3d 888 (9th Cir. 2005)(held that as a matter of first impression, warrantless searches, including drug testing, imposed as a condition of pretrial release, required a showing of probable cause, despite defendants prelease consent).
