<br />1. The question asks why a person's belongings might be searched without a cause. The options provided are:<br /> A. The person has allowed entrance into his or her home.<br /> B. The person may have illegal material in a closed car trunk.<br /> C. The person is at an international border.<br /> D. The person is at the home of a friend.<br /><br /> The correct answer is C. The person is at an international border. According to the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, individuals may be subject to searches at international borders without a warrant or probable cause. This is because the government has a significant interest in regulating what and who enters and leaves the country.<br /><br />2. The second question pertains to an exception to the exclusionary rule, which is a legal principle in the United States that prevents the prosecution from using evidence obtained in violation of the defendant's constitutional rights. The options are:<br /> A. misconduct.<br /> B. illegal search warrants.<br /> C. seized evidence.<br /> D. good faith.<br /><br /> The correct answer is D. good faith. The "good faith" exception to the exclusionary rule was established in the case of United States v. Leon (1984). According to this exception, evidence obtained by law enforcement officers acting in "good faith" (i.e., with the belief that they were following the law) is admissible, even if it is later determined that the search was illegal. This exception is intended to encourage law enforcement officers to act in accordance with the law while not punishing them for errors made in good faith.
