Question

The local police force has a pretty good feeling that Connor was involved in the burglaries of several homes in the area. They would like to enter Connor’s apartment to look for evidence, but they do not have a warrant or probable cause. Why is Connor confident that the police cannot enter his home?
A The Constitution protects Connor from incriminating himself.
B The Constitution allows Connor to confront his accuser in court.
C The Constitution protects Connor's right to due process.
D The Constitution protects Connor from unreasonable searches and seizures.

Answer 1

D. The Fourth Amendment protects Connor from unreasonable searches and seizures — police generally need a warrant (or probable cause plus an exception) to enter and search his home.
