Exclusionary Rule

• If a search or seizure was made that was
  unlawful, could the evidence found be used in
  court?
• If the answer is yes,
• that means the 4th amendment doesn't offer
  real protection for a person acussed of
  something.
• To help solve this problem, the court adopted
  and is still refining, the Exclusionary Rule. The
  rule is this evidence gained by an illegal
  search or seizure cannot be used against that
  person in court.

Wiretapping

• Wiretapping, electronic eavesdropping, video
  taping are few of the more sophisticated means of
  "bugging" are now quite widely used in the U.S.
  They present difficult search and
  seizure questions.
• The leading case today is Katz v. United States,
  1967. Katz had been convicted of transmitting
  gambling information across State lines.
• He had used a public phone booth in Los Angleles
  to call his contacts in Boston and Miami. A lot
  of the evidence against him came from an
  electronic tap planted on the roof-outside-the
  phone booth. The court said that the bugging
  evidence could not be used against Katz. Even
  though he was in public he was entitled to make a
  private call.

Automobiles

•  
•  
• The court has difficulty applying the 4th
  amendment to automobiles . It has several times
  held that an officer needs no warrant to search
  an automobiles or any other vehicle, when there
  is probable cause to know if there is any illegal
  activities.
• Carroll v. United States, 1925, early leading
  case on the point. The court emphasized that
  where the securing of a warrant is reasonably
  practicable it must be used
• The court overturned a long string of automobile
  search cases in 1991. Before, it had several
  times held that a warrant was usually needed to
  search a glove compartment, but in California v.
  Acevedo, 1991, the court set out what it called
  one clear-cut rule govern automobile searches.
  but police lawfully stop a car, they do not need
  a warrant to search anything in that vehicle that
  they have reason to believe holds evidence of a
  crime includes a passengers belongings, Wyoming
  v. Houghton, 1999.

9
Probable cause

• The basic rule laid down by the 4th amendment is
  this Police officers have no general right to
  search for evidence or to seize either evidence
  or persons. Except in particular circumstances,
  in addition, the must be obtained with Probable
  Cause, a reasonable suspicion of crime.
• Florida v. J. I 2000. Illustrates the basic rule.
  Miami police had received an anonymous tip that a
  teenager was carrying a concealed weapon. then
  two officers went to the bus stop where the
  tipster said the young man could be found . the
  police located the suspect. Then searched him,
  pulled a gun from his pocket, and arrested him.
• The Supreme Court held that the police acted
  illegally because they did not have a proper
  warrant. However, Police do not always need a
  warrant. But police must most often have a
  warrant.

The 4th Amendment

•  
• The 4th amendment also grew out of colonial
  practice. It was to prevent the use of writs of
  assistance blanker search warrants with which
  British customs officials had invaded private
  homes to search for smuggled goods.
• Unlike the 3rd Amendment, the 4th Amendment has
  proved a highly important guarantee. It says
• The right of the people to be secure in their
  persons, houses, papers, and effects, against
  unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
  violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon
  probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation,
  and particularly describing the place to be
  searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
  
• Each state constitution contains a similar
  provision.
