Another Criminal Justice Question! Lawful?
Question by : Another criminal justice question! Lawful?
Officer A was told by an informant that the informant had suspicions that C, in the apartment next door, was selling drugs from her (C’s) apartment. During the next 3 nights, Officer A surveilled C’s apartment and saw people of all kinds going in and out. Officer A stopped one of them who, upon being stopped, threw away what she had in her hand. That turned out to be crack cocaine. After retrieving the crack cocaine, Officer A entered the apartment without a warrant and found more cocaine on the living room table. Officer A seized the drugs. Was there anything invalid about Officer A’s actions?
If you have legit info, please help me out!! It will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks 🙂

Yes.
The officer violated the 4th amendment rights of C.
You must get a warrant prior to entering the residence in those circumstances.
