The Ultimate Fourth Amendment Framework

This 90-minute session gives attorneys a complete analytical framework for evaluating any Fourth Amendment search or seizure issue. Anthony Bandiero, a former law enforcement officer turned attorney who has trained more than 100,000 officers nationwide, opens with the golden rules that govern every search and seizure analysis, then addresses the threshold question of when the Fourth Amendment applies at all under the government action and private search doctrines.

The session then applies the framework where most litigation lives: the home and its curtilage, knock and talks after Florida v. Jardines, hot pursuit and exigent entries, and community caretaking after Caniglia v. Strom. From there it turns to the reasonable expectation of privacy in the modern era, from Katz through the trespass theory revived in United States v. Jones and the tire-chalking cases, and closes with the vehicle exception under Carroll and Chambers. Attendees will leave with a repeatable structure for spotting suppression issues, evaluating officer conduct, and advising law enforcement clients.
