Answer 1

1. Katz v. United States (1967) extended the Fourth Amendment's "unreasonable searches and seizures" protection to include recordings of conversations, not just personal effects.
2. California v. Greenwood (1988) established that items set out in a public space will not be granted the Fourth Amendment right to require a search warrant before searching or seizing that property.
3. United States v. Ross (1982) extended the automobile extension to the fourth amendment warrant requirement, allowing the police to conduct a warrantless search of a vehicle when they have a probable cause.
4. Terry v. Ohio (1968) established that police encounters of stop-and-frisks do not constitute a violation of the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable search and seizure.
5. United States v. Jones (2012) established that installing and using a Global Positioning System device to monitor the vehicle's movements constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment.
6. Mapp v. Ohio (1961) ruled that evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment is inadmissible in state courts.
7. United States v. Leon (1984) changed the Fourth Amendment exclusionary rule to allow an exception, which permitted evidence that was obtained in good faith by a police officer.
8. Herring v. United States (2009) decided that the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule applies when a police officer makes an arrest based on an outstanding warrant in another jurisdiction.
