In Brigham City Utah v. Charles Stuart and Others (2006), involving police entering a home without a warrant where teenagers were partying, drinking, and officers observed an altercation occurring inside the home, the Supreme Court ruled that:
 
  a. the officers' entry of the home without a warrant violated the Fourth Amendment.
  b. the officers had a right to enter without a warrant because they feared the teens would flee from the house ifthey waited.
 c. the officers had the right to enter without a warrant because they had an objectively reasonable basis forbelieving someone in the home was seriously injured or being threatened with imminent injury.
 d. the officers should have called an ambulance and let the EMTs enter without a warrant.

Question 2

In Graham v. O'Connor (1989), involving the arrest of a diabetic who was suffering from an insulin reaction, the Supreme Court indicated that:
 
  a. the use of excessive, non-deadly force in making arrests is not covered by the Constitution.
  b. the reasonableness of a particular use of force must be judged based on the benefit of hindsight.
  c. the question in excessive force cases is whether an officer's actions are objectively reasonable in light of thefacts and circumstances confronting them, without regard to his underlying intent.
 d. asking whether an officer's actions were malicious and sadistic is an important inquiry.
