Why is an understanding of the Fourth Amendment important for a police officer?
1. When arrest warrants are issued, it is a police officer who serves the warrant and takes the suspect into custody.
2. The police officer must be certain there is sufficient suspicion to carry out a search.
3. The police officer must understand what can and cannot be searched to result in legal evidence.
4. The police officer will be responsible for and carry out many of these searches.
