In the Supreme Court case Mapp v. Ohio (1961), what could police officers have done differently in order to follow due process?

Answer
A
announce their presence
B
arrest Dollree Map
C
question Dollree Mapp
D
obtain a warrant

Explanation

The Fourth Amendment generally requires police to obtain a warrant before searching a home, unless an exception applies. In Mapp v. Ohio, officers searched Dollree Mapp’s home without presenting a valid warrant, so obtaining one beforehand would have respected due process. The correct choice is “obtain a warrant.”
