One of the Exceptions to a Search Warrant Is Known

question 55

Essay

One of the exceptions to a search warrant is known as exigent circumstances. If police officers have established probable cause that evidence is likely to be in a certain place and do not have time to get a search warrant, they may conduct a warrantless search. This can include a reasonable belief that evidence will be removed or destroyed if the officers wait for a warrant. Some courts are dubious of this exception since police officers can frequently create the risk of destruction of evidence by their own behavior. Do you think there is a potential abuse of this exception by the police? If so, how? If not, why not?
