**Chimel v. California**
**_Case Summary of Chimel v. California:_**
Pursuant to a valid arrest warrant, Chimel was arrested in his home after his wife permitted officers to enter.
Incident to arrest and absent a search warrant, the officers searched the whole house resulting in the discovery of coins which were used against Chimel at trial, despite his objections.
Chimel then appealed his conviction claiming the search of his whole home violated the Fourth Amendment.
The Supreme Court held that the search was unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment because it exceeded the scope of a warrantless search incident to a lawful arrest of the area in the possession and control of the arrestee.
**_Statement of the Facts:_**
Officers went to Chimel’s house to arrest him for burglarizing a coin shop. The officers had a valid arrest warrant and Chimel’s wife allowed the officers inside. Once Chimel returned home, he was arrested and the officers conducted a complete search of Chimel’s home. During the search, officers instructed Chimel’s wife to handover items from their drawers and several coins, tokens and medals were seized. Despite Chimel’s objection, the seized items were introduced at trial.
**_Significance:_**
Chimel v. California established the scope of a search incident to a lawful arrest which takes place in the arrestee’s home. Such a warrantless search is reasonable when used to search the area within the arrestee’s immediate control to ensure officer safety and prevent the destruction of evidence.

**Terry v. Ohio**
**_Case Summary of Terry v. Ohio_**
Three men, including Terry (defendant), were approached by an officer who had observed their alleged suspicious behavior.
The officer suspected the men were planning to rob the store. After the officer inquired into what they were doing, the men responded by mumbling.
Officer then searched each man, uncovering a gun from two of the three suspects.
Terry, one of the men in possession of a gun, was convicted of possession of a concealed weapon.
Terry appealed claiming the search violated his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The United States Supreme Court held that the search was reasonable so long as the officer has reasonable suspicion a crime was afoot.
**_Statement of Facts:_**
Officer McFadden observed two men outside of a store walking up to the window then away several times. A third man met up with the initial two and engaged in conversation. The plainly clothed officer developed suspicion that the men may be planning to rob the store. McFadden approached the men and after identifying himself as an officer asked what they were doing. The men mumbled back a response. McFadden then grabbed Terry, turned him around and patted him down to determine if he was armed. The search revealed a gun in Terry’s coat pocket. After conducting the same search on the second man, another gun was revealed. Once at trial, the officer testified he thought the men may have been armed.
**_Significance:_**
Terry v. Ohio was the landmark case that provided the name for the “Terry stop.” It established the constitutionality of a limited search for weapons when an officer has reasonable suspicion to believe a crime is afoot based on the circumstances.

**Carroll v. US**
Carroll v. United States, 267 U.S. 132 (1925), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court that upheld the warrantless searches of an automobile, which is known as the automobile exception. The case has also been cited as widening the scope of warrantless search.
The outcome of the case became known as That became known as the **Carroll doctrine**: a vehicle could be searched without a search warrant if there was probable cause to believe that evidence is present in the vehicle, coupled with exigent circumstances to believe that the vehicle could be removed from the area before a warrant could be obtained
71
Emergency Doctrine, no warrant
**Exigent Circumstances**
An exigent circumstance, in the criminal procedure law of the United States, allows law enforcement, under certain circumstances, to enter a structure without a search warrant or, if they have a "knock and announce" warrant, without knocking and waiting for refusal. It must be a situation where people are in imminent danger, evidence faces imminent destruction, or a suspect's imminent escape. Once entry is obtained, the plain view doctrine applies, allowing the seizure of any evidence or contraband discovered in the course of actions consequent upon the exigent circumstances.
