Which of the following situations is allowed under the Fourth Amendment's requirements for searches and seizures? (1 point)

Question

• using evidence obtained without probable cause from the basement of a person's home
• using evidence obtained from a warrantless search of a person's home
• using evidence obtained without probable cause from the trunk of a person's car
• using evidence obtained from a warrantless search when a person boarded an airplane

Answer 1

Under the Fourth Amendment, general requirements state that searches and seizures must be based on probable cause and be conducted with a warrant, unless certain exceptions apply.

Among the given options, the situation that is "allowed" depends on specific exceptions to the warrant requirement.

Using evidence obtained from a warrantless search when a person boarded an airplane can be permissible, as individuals boarding an aircraft are subject to certain safety and security checks which are considered a special circumstance that allows for warrantless searches.

The other options involve searches of a person's home or car that typically require a warrant or probable cause, and thus are more likely to be viewed as violations of the Fourth Amendment unless valid exceptions are demonstrated.

So the answer is: • using evidence obtained from a warrantless search when a person boarded an airplane.
