Mike is in his house watching television when two policemen knock at the door. They

accuse Mike of having stolen property, enter the house, and take several things that they say
do not belong to Mike. When he asks if the policemen have permission to take his things,
they just laugh and leave with the property.
Do the policemen violate Mike's fourth amendment right?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
