What constitutes an illegal search and seizure? Generally, a search or seizure is illegal under the Fourth Amendment if it occurs without consent, a warrant, or probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. However, there are several exceptions to the warrant requirement.
The protection under the Fourth Amendment can be waived if one voluntarily consents to, or does not object to evidence collected during a warrantless search or seizure.
The circumstances under which the law deems a warrantless search, seizure, or arrest reasonable generally fall within the following seven categories: For a felony arrest in a public place. When directly related to a lawful arrest. During a traffic stop for reasonable suspicion.
Other well-established exceptions to the warrant requirement include consensual searches, certain brief investigatory stops, searches incident to a valid arrest, and seizures of items in plain view.
