FAQ
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.
Martin J. King J.D. This article describes the “special needs” exception which applies to searches and seizures conducted without individualized suspicion for the purpose of minimizing a risk of harm.
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.
The Fourth Amendment doesn't apply to every governmental search. If the person searched did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the place the government searches (or the item the government seizes), there is no Fourth Amendment violation.
The purpose of the rule is to deter law enforcement officers from conducting searches or seizures in violation of the Fourth Amendment and to provide remedies to defendants whose rights have been infringed.
Exceptions to the Exclusionary Rule Searches made during a lawful arrest. Evidence found in plain view of an officer. Searches made with the consent of the person or property owner. "Good faith" reliance on a defective warrant.
-Independent source exception, inevitable discovery exception, attenuation of the taint, good faith, knock and announce, impeachment, limit use outside of criminal cases.
