of how these issues might impact criminal law enforcement.
ANSWER:
In Exhibit 6.1, Reflections on Law and Technology, retired magistrate Judge John Facciola
discusses several of the effects of technology. Included in his discussion are the topics: most
criminal warrants today are issued for electronic information; judges need to be
technologically adept and understand technology; challenges to the Fourth Amendment
particularity requirement when searching electronics; and the need for lawyers to read outside
of their field.
This is one example of a correct answer, others may apply.

63. Describe a search incident to a pretext arrest, and explain its significance.
ANSWER:
A pretext stop or arrest occurs when police officers use the objective basis for one event,
commonly a traffic offense, as a means to do a search or an investigation for a more serious
crime that the officers believe the stopped individual may have committed, but for which
they do not have probable cause.
For example, police officers may believe that a driver has drugs in a car. However, they do
not have probable cause to search the car for drugs. The police could follow the car until the
driver commits a traffic violation and then stop the car for this. If the state law allows, they
could then arrest the driver for the traffic violation and conduct a search incident to lawful
arrest of the car’s interior, pursuant to New York v. Belton. If the search turns up drugs, then
the driver would be arrested for that more serious offense.

64. Give examples of a person who can consent to a search for someone else. Explain the difference between actual and
apparent authority to consent for another person.
ANSWER:
The law gives examples of situations where one person can consent to a search for someone
else. (1) One lover consents to a search of the room shared with the other lover. (2) One
roommate consents to a search of an entire apartment shared with another roommate. (3) A
homeowner consents to a search of a room that a house guest occupies. (4) A joint user of
luggage consents to a search of the shared luggage. (5) A high school principal consents to a
search of a high school student’s locker. (6) A factory manager consents to a search of items
on top of an employee’s workbench.
Actual authority to consent for another person exists when, in fact, one person has legal
authority to consent for someone else to a search by police of the other person’s house or
possessions.
Apparent authority exists when one person does not, in fact, have legal authority to consent
to police searching another’s house or possessions but, based on the circumstances, the police
reasonably believe that the consenting person does have the actual authority.

65. Identify three emergency searches, and describe why each situation falls under the exception to the warrant
requirement.
ANSWER:
Emergency searches in general do not require warrants based on the concept that it is
sometimes impractical, and could even be dangerous, to require police to obtain a warrant
before the search. General examples of emergency searches are to prevent destruction of
evidence, to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect, to deal with a potential immediate
danger to the community, and to ensure officers’ safety.
