A warrant has three required components: (1) a neutral and detached magistrate, (2) a showing of probable cause, and (3) particularity.
Arrest warrants are required in two situations: (1) arrests in the home and (2) arrests in third-party homes.
Search warrants are required unless the method by which the search is conducted is one the Supreme Court has permitted to occur without a warrant.
The Supreme Court has carved out several exceptions to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement.

53
Hot pursuit, threats to persons, and threats to evidence are exigent circumstances that also permit dispensing with the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement.
Automobile searches must be (1) directed at a vehicle ready to serve a transportation function, (2) premised on probable cause to believe the vehicle contains evidence of a crime, and (3) completed without unnecessary delay.
Items in plain view can be seized if the police have lawful access to the items and if it is immediately apparent that the items are contraband.
CHAPTER SUMMARY

CHAPTER SUMMARY
11.2
The scope of a consent search is defined by the person voluntarily giving consent.
Terry v. Ohio held that a person can be stopped and frisked if reasonable suspicion exists.
A person can be stopped (defined as a brief detention) if an officer has reasonable suspicion that criminal activity is afoot.
Frisks are limited. If one is authorized because the officer reasonably fears for his or her safety, it is limited to a patdown of the person’s outer clothing.
A protective sweep is a “quick and limited search of the premises, incident to arrest, and conducted to protect the safety of police officers or others.”

A vehicle inventory must follow a lawful impoundment, be of a routine nature, follow department policy, and not be used as a pretext concealing an investigative police motive.
Four types of inspections have been recognized: welfare compliance inspections, closely-regulated business inspections, fire inspections, and international mail inspections.
Legal checkpoints include border checkpoints, illegal immigrant checkpoints, and sobriety checkpoints. Checkpoints conducted for the sole purpose of detecting criminal activity are unconstitutional.
School disciplinary “searches” are constitutionally permissible, but they must be reasonable.
“Searches” of government employees’ offices are permissible with neither a warrant nor probable cause but must amount to noninvestigatory work-related intrusions or investigatory searches for evidence of suspected misconduct.

Employees and public school students can be screened for substance use but only by properly trained individuals following appropriate policies (e.g., nurses). Hospital patients, however, cannot be subjected to drug and alcohol testing.
Probation supervision permits warrantless searches premised on reasonable grounds. The same applies to parolee searches.
