The five general exceptions to the search warrant requirement are:

1. Consent Search
2. Plain View
3. Search Incident to Lawful Arrest
4. Motor Vehicle Search
5. Exigent Circumstances (includes Hot Pursuit & Emergency Search)

There are other exceptions, not just these 5; some others include "Special Needs" searches like school searches, airport searches, border searches, abandoned property, and open fields searches. For the purposes of an introductory course, let's just focus on the first 5 for now.

For this discussion, choose one of the five exceptions to the search warrant requirement provided above and paragraph in length explanation of what the exception actually is and what the rules or factors are relating to the exception. Then, you will find a case law example that relates to the exception you chose. You will then provide a brief summary of the case law and circumstances of the search, and what the appellate court decision was. CITE YOUR SOURCES.
