d. Government search
Even off duty, a police officer is ordinarily a government actor, so a search they conduct is treated as a government (state) search subject to the Fourth Amendment. (If an officer is truly acting purely as a private citizen with no intent to enforce the law, the private‑party search doctrine can apply, but that is the exception.)
