What presumption does the Fourth Amendment hold regarding search and seizure?

  1. Law enforcement can act freely

  2. A warrant is always required

  3. A warrant is preferred under certain conditions

  4. No presumption exists

The correct answer is: A warrant is preferred under certain conditions

The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, establishing a legal framework for how law enforcement can conduct searches of individuals and their property. The correct presumption it holds is that a search warrant is preferred under certain conditions, meaning that law enforcement agents are generally expected to obtain a warrant based on probable cause before conducting a search. This requirement helps to safeguard individual privacy and restrain arbitrary governmental actions. While there are circumstances where a warrant may not be strictly necessary, such as in emergencies or situations where immediate action is needed, the overall assumption is that obtaining a warrant is the standard practice when pursuing searches. This presumption reflects the balance between the need for effective law enforcement and the rights of individuals to maintain their privacy and security against unwarranted government intrusion.
