The amendment that would typically prohibit police officers from using evidence found in Yubi Brown's mobile home in court is the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures. It also states that law enforcement must have a warrant to search an individual's property, which must be based upon probable cause and specifically describe the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Therefore, if the police searched Yubi Brown's home without a warrant and without a valid exception to the warrant requirement, the weapons found could be considered inadmissible as evidence under the exclusionary rule, which bars the use of evidence obtained in violation of the constitution.
