Police procured a search warrant to look for drugs and related types of drug dealing paraphernalia at a specified residence
When they arrived on the porch of the residence, they announced that they were the police and within three seconds, burst through the front door. Drugs and firearms, among other things, were found that the prosecution wanted to use against the occupants of the home. Facts necessary to excuse the knock- and-announce requirement were not present. On these facts, the trial judge A) should suppress the evidence since the exclusionary rule requires that only lawfully obtained evidence can be admitted in courts, as a general rule. B) will not have to suppress the evidence found because courts have held that the social costs of applying the exclusionary rule to knock-and-announce violations are too great and the violation is a minimal one. C) should order suppression of the illegal substances and other evidence since the knock-and-announce requirement of the Fourth Amendment has been violated. D) should not suppress the evidence since the results of the warrant-based search produced incriminating evidence. E) both A and B state correct responses.
