FAQ

A search or seizure is generally reasonable if made pursuant to a warrant issued by a judge based on "probable cause" and describing the person and place to be searched or property to be seized with particularity. A search or seizure made with your consent is permissible, and what is taken may be used against you.

The circumstances under which the law deems a warrantless search, seizure, or arrest reasonable generally fall within the following seven categories: For a felony arrest in a public place. When directly related to a lawful arrest. During a traffic stop for reasonable suspicion.

Because to search your vehicle against your wishes they need a legal justification that will hold up in court later. Depending on the circumstances, a defense lawyer could have the search (and any evidence found) thrown out. But if you agree to the search, you give them the justification.

The Supreme Court has identified six narrow exceptions where a warrantless search is reasonable and will not result in the exclusion of evidence obtained therein. These include: Exigent circumstances. Plain view.

If Something is in Plain View: An officer does not need a warrant to search your property or vehicle if they notice any illicit items in plain view. These can include weapons, drugs, paraphernalia or any suspicious items.

(1) Consent was given: The suspect must have expressly or impliedly consented. (2)Consent was voluntary: The consent must have been given voluntarily.

The Constitution, through the Fourth Amendment, protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. The Fourth Amendment, however, is not a guarantee against all searches and seizures, but only those that are deemed unreasonable under the law.

Exceptions to the Warrant Requirement These include: Exigent circumstances. Plain view. Search incident to arrest.

If there is a reasonable expectation of privacy and there is not probable cause, a search warrant is required. However, if probable cause does occur, such as a suspect runs away, a gunshot is heard from another room in a home, or even when an individual makes a sudden movement, a search becomes legal without a warrant.

Therefore, a warrantless search may be valid when an officer is in "hot pursuit". The essential elements of hot pursuit are as follows: a.Consent: If you voluntarily allow police to search your home, they do not need a warrant; however, you have the right to refuse consent. When a lawful arrest is effected a peace officer may reasonably search the person arrested and the area within the person's immediate presence. It is a basic principle of Fourth Amendment law that a search or seizure inside a home without a warrant is presumptively unreasonable. In the state of Georgia, an officer can execute a warrantless search based solely on the smell of suspected drugs. What Does the Fourth Amendment Mean? The Fourth Amendment generally requires government officials to obtain an arrest warrant or search warrant to execute a valid search and seizure. Palmer, 285 Ga. 75 (2009).
