The following excerpt is from Neel v. Cnty. of San Diego, Case No.: 18-CV-1764 W (MSB) (S.D. Cal. 2019):
469 U.S. at 327-48. The impracticability of the warrant and probable cause requirement justifies the special needs exception in each of these instances. See Griffin, 483 U.S. at 873. As it can allow for " 'suspicionless searches,' " the special needs exception is a " 'closely guarded category[.]' " Ferguson v. City of Charleston, 532 U.S. 67, 77 (2001) (quoting Chandler v. Miller, 520 U.S. 305, 309 (1997)).
