People v. Paulson Lee Stuart Paulson owned a liquor license for My House, a bar in San Francisco. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (Department) is the state administrative agency that regulates bars in that state. The California Business and Professions Code, which is administered by the Department, prohibit[s] "any kind of illegal activity on licensed premises." An anonymous informer tipped the Department that narcotics were being sold on the premises of My House, an establishment that sold liquor, and that the narcotics were kept in a safe behind the bar on the premises. A special department investigator entered the bar during its hours of operation, identified himself, and informed Paulson that he was conducting an inspection. The investigator, who did not have a search warrant, opened the safe without seeking Paulson's consent. Twenty-two bundles of cocaine, totaling 5.5 grams, were found in the safe. Paulson was arrested. At his criminal trial, Paulson challenged the lawfulness of the Department's search.

Question 1. Is the Department's search constitutional?
