Hope this helps !!!

Answer 2

Correct answer is b. had no objection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In 1966, Schmerber v California became a historical case of the US Supreme Court.

According to its opinion, the Court expressed that:

• The blood sample taken without consent did not violate the 4th Amendment, because it was a case of "demanding circumstances".
• Intrusions in the human body require a court order, but in this case, the police acted under the exception of "demanding circumstances".
• Finally, the admission of a blood sample as evidence does not imply self-incrimination, so the right of the 5th Amendment was not violated.
