Yes, a search and seizure can be considered reasonable without a warrant under certain exceptions, such as exigent circumstances, consent, or when evidence is in plain view. The Fourth Amendment allows for these exceptions when immediate action is necessary to prevent the destruction of evidence, ensure officer safety, or protect the public. However, the justification for such actions must be clearly established and often scrutinized by courts to ensure they adhere to constitutional protections.

Search and seizure are two different things. A search is an intrusion into a reasonable expectation of privacy. A seizure is the taking or interference with custody or movement of a person or property. You can have a search without a seizure, and a seizure without a search. Either is unlawful if the search or seizure is not supported by the probable cause to believe that a crime has occurred, is about to occur, or is occurring, and the search or seizure will result in evidence of that crime. Probable cause is a reasonable belief, based on facts available to the person doing the searching and seizing, that criminal activity is taking place. With some exceptions, an officer can't conduct a search just because he wants to, or on pure speculation. There has to be some reasonable basis for the search.
How do police conduct a legal search and seizure in accordance with the law?
