Question 19 • AP US Government and Politics

Which of the following would constitute a breach of constitutional law by a police officer?

Answer
A
proceeding with court-ordered wiretapping
B
conducting interviews that lead to a confession
C
admitting evidence subject to inevitable discovery
D
conducting searches and seizures without a court order or valid arrest

Explanation

Police searches and seizures generally must be supported by a warrant or a recognized exception, such as a valid arrest-related search. Conducting them without a court order or other valid legal basis violates constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Court-ordered wiretapping is authorized, and the other choices do not by themselves establish a constitutional violation.
