Question 1

Which one of the following is not a 4th Amendment Protection?

Accepted Answer

Right to counsel in your defense

Answer

The 4th Amendment protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures and requires warrants to be based on probable cause. The "Right to counsel in your defense" is a fundamental protection guaranteed by the 6th Amendment, which ensures the right to legal representation in criminal prosecutions, not the 4th Amendment.

Question 2

When an officers observes conduct that, in light of experience would lead a reasonable belief that a suspect is armed and may be dangerous, may conduct a frisk limited in scope. What case gives us this rule?

Accepted Answer

Terry v. Ohio

Answer

*Terry v. Ohio* (1968) established the legal precedent for a "stop and frisk." This ruling allows police officers to conduct a limited pat-down search for weapons if they have reasonable suspicion that an individual is armed and dangerous, even without probable cause for arrest. This is a crucial exception to the warrant requirement for officer safety.

Question 3

What is it called when an officer by means of physical force or show of authority, has some way restrained the liberty of a person?

Accepted Answer

Seizure

Answer

A "seizure" of a person occurs when a law enforcement officer, through physical force or a show of authority, restrains an individual's liberty to the extent that a reasonable person would not feel free to leave. This concept is central to determining whether an individual's 4th Amendment rights have been implicated during an encounter with police.

Question 4

Florida v. Bostick created what test for seizures?

Accepted Answer

Free to leave test

Answer

*Florida v. Bostick* (1991) refined the "free to leave" test for determining when a seizure has occurred, particularly in consensual encounters. The test asks whether a reasonable person would feel free to decline the officers' requests or otherwise terminate the encounter, even if they are not physically restrained. This helps distinguish between a consensual interaction and a Fourth Amendment seizure.

Question 5

Specific & articulable facts that give rise to a particularized and objective basis for suspecting an individual of criminal activity is used for what?

Accepted Answer

Reasonable Suspicion

Answer

"Reasonable suspicion" is a legal standard that requires specific and articulable facts, combined with rational inferences from those facts, to justify a brief detention or a "Terry stop." It is a lower standard than probable cause but higher than a mere hunch or generalized suspicion. This standard allows officers to investigate potential criminal activity without full probable cause for arrest.
