mike is walking down the street minding his own business when he is stopped by a police officer. although no crimes have been reported in the area and mike has done nothing suspicious, the policer officer doesn't like the looks of mike so he conducts a pat-down search and finds a tiny bag of marijuana. under these circumstances, this is:a. an illegal search under 4th amendment protectionsb. an illegal search under fifth amendment protectionsc. a legal search because illegal drugs were found, justifying the police officer's actionsd. a legal search because police are given broad discretion to use their experience to fight crime and obviously the police officer was right in this case

The fourth amendment to the United States Constitution protects two fundamental rights: the right to privacy and the right not to suffer an arbitrary invasion.

The investigation is the procedure in which a government official or agent violates a reasonable expectation of privacy. When it interferes with the right of property of a person we face a case of confiscation. The owner must have a reasonable expectation of privacy regarding the seized objects. A person is considered to have been apprehended when law enforcement personnel use physical force to retain them in such a way that, in a similar situation, any reasonable person would feel deprived of their liberty.
