Question

Which constitutional amendment outlaws illegal searches and seizures by police?

Answer 1

Answer: The constitutional amendment that outlaws illegal search and seizures by the police is the "Fourth Amendment." Police must have reasonable cause before searching a person's belongings such as their home, vehicle, or bags. The police will need to get a judge to sign off on a search warrant and give probable cause to get the warrant legally. If an illegal search and seizure occurs, the police can be sued and all evidence of the crime dismissed in a court of law.

The correct answer is B: Fourth.
