search of an individual or his/her premises (including an automobile) and/or seizure
of evidence found in such a search by a law enforcement officer without a search
warrant and without "probable cause" to believe evidence of a crime is present.
Such a search and/or seizure is unconstitutional under the 4th Amendment (applied
to the states by the 14th Amendment), and evidence obtained thereby may not be introduced
in court.
