How are special-needs and administrative searches different from searches carried out incident to illegal activity?
What will be an ideal response?
The courts employ a balancing test under the Reasonableness Clause of the Fourth Amendment to determine the standard governing these searches. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that the government interest in conducting these searches outweighs the resulting intrusion on individual rights, and in most instances, the traditional probable cause and warrant requirements have been found to unduly interfere with the government’s ability to undertake these searches. As a result, administrative inspections and special-needs searches are not required to meet a strict probable cause standard.
