What will be an ideal response? Title: What are the requirements for warrants as explicitly stated in the Fourth Amendment? Give an example ... Post by: kylelin on Feb 16, 2018 The requirements as explicitly stated in the Fourth Amendment are (1) probable
cause, (2) oath or affirmation, (3) specify place to be searched, and (4) specify items to be seized. An example of a situation that would meet these requirements is a police officer personally appearing before a magistrate with a sworn statement stating that the officer had seen the defendant enter his garage at 124 Main Street, Anytown, My County, My State, carrying ten large plants that appeared to be marijuana and the officer had approached the driveway to the garage and smelled burning marijuana. An example of a situation that would not meet these requirements is a police officer who sent an unsigned note to the judge, asking for a search warrant to search a white clapboard house in a subdivision of white clapboard houses, looking for any drugs. |
