Answer to Question 1

The requirements as explicitly stated in the Fourth Amendment are (1) probable
cause, (2) oath or affirmation, (3) specify place to be searched, and (4) specify items
to be seized. An example of a situation that would meet these requirements is a
police officer personally appearing before a magistrate with a sworn statement
stating that the officer had seen the defendant enter his garage at 124 Main Street,
Anytown, My County, My State, carrying ten large plants that appeared to be
marijuana and the officer had approached the driveway to the garage and smelled
burning marijuana. An example of a situation that would not meet these
requirements is a police officer who sent an unsigned note to the judge, asking for a
search warrant to search a white clapboard house in a subdivision of white
clapboard houses, looking for any drugs.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
