Answer 1

The correct statement that explains the Fourth Amendment’s protections against unreasonable searches and seizures is:

Law enforcement must have a search warrant and/or probable cause to search a person’s property.

This statement accurately reflects the requirement for law enforcement to have probable cause and, in most cases, a search warrant to conduct searches and seizures, as outlined in the Fourth Amendment. The other statements do not accurately capture the general legal standards set by the Fourth Amendment.
