Which aspect of the Fourth Amendment gives Donna the right to carry out a search in the given example?
Donna is a police officer who has been investigating a crime: the first-degree murder of Jack Blackwell. Donna has been informed by a source about the possible involvement of Berny Patterson, Jack’s best friend, in this crime. Donna has thus decided to search Berny’s house for evidence without a search warrant. However, Donna is adhering to the Fourth Amendment, because she has BLANK to conduct such a search.
