What is the test for a search warrant under the Fourth Amendment?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Holley, A142800 (Cal. App. 2015):
As an initial observation of the facts recited above, it should be noted we do not jump to the discovery of contraband when we assess police conduct under the Fourth Amendment. When a search takes place without a judicial warrant, as in our case, the search is reasonable only if it falls within a recognized exception to the warrant obligation. (Riley v. California (2014) ___U.S.___, 134 S.Ct. 2473, 2482.) Acting on a hunch is not an exception.
