“The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that ‘The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.’  Explain the historical origins of the 4th Amendment and assess why its inclusion was so important to those considering ratifying the Constitution.” Select a case in which a search warrant was used during the investigation.  Explain the case and why the police used a search warrant in this case.  If that information is not explicit in your resources, explain why you believe a warrant was used.  Additionally, state your opinion about whether or not a warrant was necessary.  Provide detail about how the use of the search warrant contributed or did not contribute to the result in the case.
