In Wolf v. Colorado, 338 U.S. 25 (1949), the Supreme Court reviewed a case where state officers had seized evidence from the defendant in the absence of a warrant and from the inside of his home. The court determined that
A) there was no due process violation by state police officials and the evidence was admissible in court where police obtained evidence under circumstances where federal officers would have violated the Fourth Amendment.
B) illegally seized evidence can be used in state criminal trials without violating the criminal trials without violating the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause.
C) the evidence should have been suppressed because the Fourth Amendment now applies in a way that limits the state law enforcement officials in the same way that federal officials have been limited for years.
D) both A and B state correct responses.
E) none of the responses above state correct answers.
