The reasonable expectation of privacy refers to the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. One of the factors in determining whether a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy is the distance of the place searched from their home.

Accepted Answer

The 4th Amendment right to privacy was upheld in Katz v. United States, where the Supreme Court ruled that a warrant was required for the government to wiretap a public phone booth as it violated the defendant's reasonable expectation of privacy.

Question 5

The 4^th Amendment protects A) trucks B) cars C) houses D) sport utility vehicles

Accepted Answer

The 4^th Amendment protects houses, specifically from unreasonable searches and seizures without a warrant. The amendment is often referred to as the Fourth Amendment and is a crucial part of protecting individual privacy and property rights. While the amendment does apply to personal property like cars and SUVs, it primarily focuses on the protection of a person's home. Therefore, the best choice is C.

Question 6

In Mapp v. Ohio, the exclusionary was extended to&#10;A) the states&#10;B) Canada&#10;C) Mexico&#10;D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

The exclusionary rule was extended to the states in Mapp v. Ohio, as it was previously only applied at the federal level. It was not extended to Canada or Mexico. Therefore, D is not a valid option.

Question 7

The exclusionary rule is defined as&#10;A) the exclusion of an officer from testifying in a case.&#10;B) the exclusion of a witness from testifying in a case.&#10;C) evidence excluded at trial as a result of an improperly conducted search or seizure.&#10;D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

The exclusionary rule is a legal principle that evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures is not admissible in court. This means that evidence obtained through an improperly conducted search or seizure, such as evidence obtained without a warrant or with a warrant that was not supported by probable cause, will be excluded from the trial. The exclusionary rule is meant to deter police misconduct and protect citizens' constitutional rights.

Question 8

As a result of United States v. Leon, the ___________________ was &#34;carved&#34; out of the exclusionary rule.&#10;A) fruits of the poisonous tree&#10;B) warrant requirement&#10;C) inevitable discovery&#10;D) good faith exception

Accepted Answer

United States v. Leon established the good faith exception, which allows evidence to be admissible in court if the police obtained it in good faith while executing a search warrant that is later found to be invalid. This exception "carved" out a limited circumstance where the exclusionary rule does not apply.

Question 9

Fruits of the poisonous tree refers to ________________________________&#10;A) additional evidence obtained from the results of an initial bad search.&#10;B) intentional misconduct by police officers.&#10;C) evidence discovered illegally that would have eventually been discovered legally.&#10;D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

"Fruits of the poisonous tree" is a legal metaphor used to describe evidence that is obtained illegally or as a result of an initial illegal search or interrogation. The term does not refer to intentional misconduct by police officers or evidence that would have eventually been discovered legally, but specifically to evidence derived from the initial illegality.
