Question
Drug Enforcement Agents were given a tip by a reliable source that cocaine was being stored in a house at 313 N.E. Brook. The agents immediately went to the house and secured it. The agents then went inside, searched the house from top to bottom, seized the cocaine found in a false compartment under a stairway and arrested the occupants of the house. A paralegal for the defense should prepare a motion:
A Asking for the evidence to be suppressed because the evidence was likely to quickly disappear.
B Asking for the evidence to be suppressed because after securing the house, the agents should have obtained a search warrant from a judge
C Asking for the evidence to be suppressed because the search was incident to arrest.
D Asking for the evidence to be suppressed because the agents did not have sufficient information for probable cause.
