Oral Argument 1/23/2017

Highlight

Warrantless and non-consensual searches and seizures made inside a home are presumptively unreasonable, unless an exception to the warrant requirement applies.
The exigent circumstances exception includes an emergency situation requiring swift action to prevent imminent danger to life or serious damage to property, or to forestall the imminent escape of a suspect or destruction of evidence.
The inevitable discovery doctrine establishes that evidence derived from information obtained in an unlawful search is not inadmissible under the fruit-of-the-poisonous-tree doctrine when it is shown that the evidence would have been gained even without the unlawful action.
