Respond to this prompt in complete sentences. You will have 5 minutes to complete the prompt.
On Thursday, police received an anonymous tip that Francis is a drug dealer. On Monday morning, they raided Francis’ apartment looking for drugs. During the search, police found two kilos of cocaine and 3 unregistered semi-automatic weapons. Police did not have a search warrant at the time of the raid. Francis is arrested and charged with illegal gun posession and intent to distribute illegal narcotics.
Using your knowledge of the constitution and the U.S. legal system, what constitutional issues will make it hard for prosecutors to convict Francis?
Give an example of a different scenario in which police could have entered Francis’ home and conducted a search without a warrant.
