Question

Once made entry in an exigent circumstance search

A) Officers must immediately exit
B) A thorough search is conducted
C) Awaiting a search warrant is necessary
D) Only plain-view evidence can be seized

Answer 1

In exigent circumstances, a thorough search can be conducted without waiting for a search warrant. Officers can seize evidence found during the search, not just plain-view evidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

In exigent circumstances, once police officers have made an entry, they are not required to immediately exit. Instead, a thorough search can be conducted. Awaiting a search warrant is not necessary in exigent circumstances as it may result in the destruction or tampering of evidence. Additionally, officers can seize not only plain-view evidence but also any evidence that is discovered during the search.
