Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Full-scale searches of premises generally require a warrant. Officers need probable cause to get a warrant for a search. When searching a house with a warrant, officers are generally required to knock and announce, knocking on the door and announcing their presence. The Fourth Amendment protects against unannounced police entry. As with searching premises and persons, police officers must have probable cause in order to search an automobile. However, unlike other full-scale searches, officers generally do not need a warrant to search automobiles, and they can search all areas of the car, including the trunk and glove compartment. The reason that officers do not need a warrant to search cars follows the idea of mobility: In the time that it would take to obtain a warrant, the driver can move the car and possibly destroy evidence.
