The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Device More or Less Labeled Theramatic, 641 F.2d 1289 (9th Cir. 1981):
8 That requirement is not abrogated merely because the search and seizure here occurred in a non-criminal context. "(T)he Fourth Amendment ... protects against warrantless intrusions during civil as well as criminal investigations." Marshall v. Barlow's, Inc., 436 U.S. 307, 312, 98 S.Ct. 1816, 1820, 56 L.Ed.2d 305 (1978).
