For each of the following prompts, determine whether Officer Keller’s conduct constitutes a search for purposes of the Fourth Amendment:
Officer Keller is walking down Main St. when he overhears two voices yelling inside a house. He steps onto the sidewalk leading up to the front porch to try to see if he can make out what they are saying. When he gets a few feet away from the porch, he hears a male voice from inside the home shout “That’s it! I’m going to kill you! I am tired of your constant nagging.” Is the man’s statement subject to Fourth Amendment protection?
Next, Officer Keller walks onto the porch and looks through an opening in the curtains to see a woman seated in a chair. The woman appears to be crying. Standing opposite the woman is a man angrily holding a knife. Are these observations subject to Fourth Amendment protection?
Officer Keller knocks on the door and the man answers. Officer Keller can now clearly see that the man has a knife in his hand. He tells the man that he is under arrest for assault. The man drops the knife and runs past Officer Keller. Officer Keller yells for the man to stop, but he keeps running. Officer Keller does not chase him. Instead, he calls for backup. Has the man been seized for purposes of the Fourth Amendment?
For each thread, you must support your assertions with at least 3 scholarly citations in current
Bluebook format.
