The Fourth Amendment at Fire Scenes

Abstract

Current United States Supreme Court doctrine holds that fire department personnel can enter and remain on private property to investigate the cause of a fire and to seize incriminating evidence without a search warrant. After reviewing the questionable application of this doctrine, the Author concludes that the same Fourth Amendment requirements that apply to traditional law enforcement officers should also apply to fire investigators as quasi-law enforcement officials.
