Final answer:

The five exceptions to the warrant requirement are arrest with probable cause, searches of cars, searches at borders, consent to search, and plain view doctrine.

Step-by-step explanation:

The five exceptions to the warrant requirement are:

  1. Arrest with Probable Cause: Police can arrest someone suspected of a felony crime without a warrant as long as probable cause exists.
  2. Searches of Cars: Police do not generally need a warrant to search the passenger compartment of a car.
  3. Searches at Borders: Police do not generally need a warrant to search people entering the United States from another country.
  4. Consent to Search: Police can search without a warrant if the owner or renter consents to the search.
  5. Plain View Doctrine: Police can search and seize items that are in plain view of government officials.
