Text: On appeal of a district court's ruling on a motion to suppress, we review the district court's factual findings for clear error and its legal conclusions de novo. United States v. Moon, 513 F.3d 527, 536 (6th Cir.2008). Whether a search was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment is a question of law which is reviewed de novo. United States v. Blair, 524 F.3d 740, 747 (6th Cir.2008); see Ornelas v. United States, 517 U.S. 690, 691, 116 S.Ct. 1657, 134 L.Ed.2d 911 (1996) (holding that the ultimate questions of reasonable suspicion and probable cause to make a warrantless search should be reviewed de novo ). When a district court has denied the motion to suppress, we must consider the evidence in the light most favorable to the government. United States v. Carter, 378 F.3d 584, 587 (6th Cir.2004) (en banc).
