A closed container requires police officers to have a search warrant to look inside unless opening the container falls within an exception to the search warrant requirement. True or false
True. In general, the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures and requires police officers to obtain a search warrant based on probable cause before searching a closed container. However, there are exceptions to this requirement, such as when there is probable cause to believe the container contains illegal items or if the search falls within one of the recognized exceptions to the warrant requirement (e.g., consent, exigent circumstances, plain view).
