Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Has the progeny of 'probable cause' and the innovations of 'exceptions' to the
Fourth Amendment concerning the justification to advance in a warrantless search and
seizure circumstance been diminished to a lesser standard than what the Amendment
intended?

2. Does the defendant have (a) the expectation of review of the appeal as it
challenges the procurement of judgment by the District Court when the higher court
does not address the merits because they have found their own judgment based on a
separate standard of review, and (b) if they do maintain such right, then by what
means does the Petitioner have for review of the judgment in the first?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Has the progeny of 'probable-cause' and the innovations of 'exceptions' to the Fourth-Amendment concerning the justification to advance in a warrantless-search-and-seizure circumstance been diminished to a lesser standard than what the Amendment intended?
