Question

Facts: Officers wanted to search Dollree Mapp's house, but she said no because they did not have a warrant. They were looking for a suspected bomber. Eventually, the police forced their way in. They did not find a bomber, but they did find a trunk of obscene pictures in the basement. Ms. Mapp was arrested and convicted for possession of obscenity. She appealed.
