Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Constitution's Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, which includes obtaining search warrants without probable cause. As long as the police have a valid search warrant, they can search Jordan's apartment. Jordan's obscene speech is protected under the First Amendment, and his implication of others may be inadmissible in court if it was made without proper Miranda warnings, but it is not protected under the Constitution.
