Discuss the importance of the case of Flippo v. West Virginia (1999), and how it relates to searches at homicide scenes
What will be an ideal response?
In Flippo v. West Virginia (1999), the Supreme Court held that police may make warrantless entries onto premises where they reasonably believe a person is in need of immediate aid, or police may make a prompt warrantless search of a homicide scene for other victims or a killer on the premises. However, the Court specifically rejected the idea that there is any general "murder scene exception" to the search warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment. In effect, without exigent circumstances, the police would have to get a search warrant to search for evidence after the emergency is over.
