Constitution and criminal justice: most criminal justice provisions are found in the bill of rights, but there are four within the body of the constitution. Used to look for smuggled goods by individuals who were evading british taxes and tariffs. However, the 4th amendment applies to a range of issues today: protections by the 4th amendment extend to persons, houses, papers, and effects; however, these encompass many different things, olmstead v. us (1928) First major attempt by the ussc to determine the extent of 4th amendment protections. Issue: is placing a wiretap outside of a suspect"s home without a warrant a violation of the 4th. Ussc said no; 4th amendment only protects constitutionally protected areas that police physically enter; the wiretap in this case did not involve police physically entering the house: what is a constitutionally protected area, katz v. us (1967)
