In Tennessee v. Garner, involving the death of a citizen due to the use of deadly force by the police, SCOTUS ruled that:
 
  a. evidence seized from illegal use of deadly force is admissible in criminal cases.
  b. apprehension by the use of deadly force is a seizure subject to the reasonableness requirement of the Fourth Amendment, and a police officer may not seize an unarmed, nondangerous suspect by shooting the suspect dead.
   c. evidence seized from illegal use of deadly force is not admissible in criminal cases.
  d. the use of deadly force to prevent the escape of any felony suspect, whatever the circumstances, is constitutionally unreasonable.

Question 2

The landmark SCOTUS case Tennessee v. Garner (1985) involved the authority of police to use deadly force to stop fleeing felons. In this case, SCOTUS held that:
 
  a. deadly force could be used only if the officer using it had probable cause to believe the fleeing felon posed a physical danger to himself or others.
   b. the Constitution does not address such a situation.
  c. deadly force could be used only if the officer using it had reasonable suspicion that the fleeing felon posed a physical danger to himself or others.
   d. deadly force could be used by the officer only if there was no other means reasonably available to stop the fleeing felon.
