Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether Illinois has lowered the bar of reasonableness for the search of parolees beyond this Court's holding in Samson v. California, 547 U.S. 843 (2006), and below the requirements of the Fourth Amendment, where the Illinois Appellate Court found the warrantless and suspicionless search of a parolee's home where he resided with his family, solely based on the parolee's status as parolee, reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.
