Exercise 15

The IRS attached levies to the property and other assets of G.M. Leasing Corp. for nonpayment of taxes. To satisfy the levy, the IRS seized several automobiles from the street in front of G.M.'s offices. Also without a warrant, the IRS entered G.M.'s offices and seized business books and records. Has the Fourth Amendment been violated with the seizure of the cars? of the books and records? [GM. Leasing Corp. v. United States, 429 U.S. 338 (1977).]
