1. In some cases, it may be ethical to commit an illegal act.

(a) True.

(b) False.

2. Timothy was driving at the speed limit of 65 MPH on 280 North towards De Anza college when he was pulled over by a Highway Patrol officer. The officer said he had an intuition that Timothy was carrying illegal goods in his trunk and demanded that Timothy open up the trunk so he could perform a search. Can Timothy refuse the officers request to open his trunk?

(a) Yes, the officers intuition is not probable cause for a search. Timothy was obeying the speed limit and was not acting suspiciously. The 4th Amendment requires the officer to get a warrant based on probable cause unless an exception applies. No exceptions apply to this traffic stop.

(b) Yes, the 6th Amendment prohibits the officer from searching the trunk.

(c) No, because law enforcement officers are always entitled by law to perform a search without a warrant.

(d) No, the officer can ask the court for a warrant at a later time.

(e) No, because the officers intuition is probable cause.
