Question

According to the Fourth Amendment, what can't the police do?

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

The Fourth Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights.

It prohibits unreasonable searches and seizure. According to the Amendment, the people have a right ' to feel secure in their own persons, houses, papers and effects'.

The Amendment sets requirements for using warrants. All issued warrants must be issued by a judge or magistrate, justify the probable cause and be supported by oath of affirmation. They must also describe the place that is about to be searched, or the person to be seized.

The police must obtain a search warrant before entering a property. If evidence is collected without a valid warrant, it is considered unconstitutional and not allowed in court.

There are some exception to this rule.
