Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today we're focusing on Criminal Procedure, specifically the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution and the limits it imposes on police actions based on tips from anonymous informants. We previously discussed other aspects of the Fourth Amendment in episode 141 of the podcast.

In this episode, we discuss:

A review of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
Determining when probable cause arises for an arrest, search, or seizure
How is a "totality of the circumstances" analysis performed?
Going through two hypos, from the February 2004 and July 2021 California bar exams
How to structure an answer to an essay question involving anonymous informant tips
