Four 4th Amendment Questions Every Nebraska Law Enforcement Officer Must Know

A judge doesn’t read your report looking for good intentions. He runs your actions through four questions, in order, and failing any one of them costs you the evidence. This hour shows you those four questions so you can ask them yourself, while there’s still time to fix the answer.

1. Does the Fourth Amendment apply? The Fourth Amendment applies to government actors, not private citizens.
2. Protected area? The Fourth Amendment only applies to four things. Do you know them?
3. Search or seizure? Did you intrude into a protected space, or take control of a person or item?
4. What’s your justification? C.R.E.W. Consent from someone with authority, a Recognized Exception, or a Warrant.
