Accepted Answer

The exception to the warrant requirement during a search incident to a lawful arrest is primarily meant for officer safety and preventing suspects from escaping.

Question 2

In which of the following cases did the Supreme Court decide that after making an arrest, an officer may search a limited area around the suspect?&#10;A) United States v. Edwards&#10;B) United States v. Robinson&#10;C) Chimel v. California&#10;D) Warden v. Hayden

Accepted Answer

The Supreme Court's decision in Chimel v. California established the principle that after making an arrest, an officer may search a limited area around the suspect, commonly known as the "search incident to arrest." This limited search is justified by the need to protect officer safety and prevent the destruction of evidence. The Court held that the search must be confined to the immediate area within the suspect's reach and cannot extend to other parts of the home or vehicle without a warrant.

Question 3

In which of the following cases was the phrase &#34;immediate control&#34; used to define the area officers may search when making an arrest?&#10;A) Chimel v. California&#10;B) United States v. Edwards&#10;C) Warden v. Hayden&#10;D) United States v. Robinson

Accepted Answer

The phrase "immediate control" was used in the case of Chimel v. California to define the area officers may search when making an arrest.

Question 4

What occurred in the case of United States v. Robinson?&#10;A) the Court held that an officer may search in the arrestee's immediate control.&#10;B) the Court determined that a full body search was valid without a warrant when a custodial arrest was made.&#10;C) the Court held that a search may take place later in time if the arrest was valid and the suspect was in custody.&#10;D) none of the above.

Accepted Answer

In the case of United States v. Robinson, the Supreme Court determined that a full body search was valid without a warrant when a custodial arrest was made. This is known as a "search incident to arrest" and falls under the Fourth Amendment's exception for searches conducted based on probable cause. The Court held that this type of search was necessary for officer safety and to prevent the destruction of evidence.

Question 5

In which of the following cases did the Court validate the use of a protective sweep of a home?&#10;A) Chimel v. California&#10;B) United States v. Robinson&#10;C) Warden v. Hayden&#10;D) Maryland v. Buie

Accepted Answer

Maryland v. Buie established the concept of a "protective sweep," allowing officers to search areas where an individual could be hiding if they believe those areas harbor an immediate threat. This decision validated the limited search of a home without a warrant under certain conditions for officer safety.

Question 6

The concept of __________________________ was applied to occupants of a vehicle in Maryland v. Wilson.&#10;A) protective sweep&#10;B) hot pursuit&#10;C) exigent circumstances&#10;D) full body search

Accepted Answer

In Maryland v. Wilson, the concept of a protective sweep was applied to justify a police officer's search of the passenger compartment of a vehicle during a traffic stop in order to ensure officer safety. The Supreme Court held that when a police officer lawfully stops a vehicle and has a reasonable suspicion that the vehicle contains a dangerous individual, the officer may conduct a protective sweep of the passenger compartment to ensure that there are no hidden threats to their safety. Therefore, the best choice is A) protective sweep.

Question 7

Hayden?&#10;A) the Court decided that if officers were chasing a fleeing felon who entered a home, the officers were not required to take a break to get a warrant.&#10;B) the Court stated that during a routine traffic stop, all occupants of the vehicle were seized.&#10;C) the Court states that occupants of a vehicle may be ordered out of the vehicle as a form of a protective sweep.&#10;D) the Court determined the &#34;chase&#34; could be very limited yet still be considered a hot pursuit.

Accepted Answer

In Warden v. Hayden, the Supreme Court decided that police officers chasing a fleeing felon into a home do not need to stop and get a warrant due to the exigent circumstances of the chase, allowing them to enter the home to apprehend the suspect.

Accepted Answer

A protective sweep is a quick and limited search of premises, usually conducted by law enforcement officers, to ensure that there are no immediate threats to their safety. It is typically conducted after an arrest has already been made, to ensure that there are no other individuals who may pose a threat to their safety or interfere with the arrest. It is not a lengthy search, nor is it conducted before an arrest.
