Search and seizure situations, note whether you think the evidence seized would be excluded in a court of law. In addition, try to note cases that apply to each circumstance.
Police Officer Adams observed an automobile driving the wrong way on a one-way street. When the officer tried to stop the automobile, the driver fled, resulting in a high-speed chase. The chase ended when the driver's car crashed into a telephone pole. Concerned that the car might ignite from a gas leak, Officer Adams pulled the unconscious woman from the car. After he had pulled the woman a safe distance from the car, he went back into the car to locate her purse for identification. At which time he found a knife covered in blood on the front seat. It was later discovered that the knife was used in the murder of another police officer. Should the knife be excluded? What court case(s) justify your decision?
