Fourth Amendment cases
Supreme Court cases
Although the case is most frequently cited in relation to congressional powers relative to war, Talbot v. Seeman, 5 U.S. 1 (1 Cranch 1) (1801), like Little v. Barreme (1804), provides an early example of the U.S. Supreme Court's use of the concept of probable cause. The facts involved a ship, Amelia, owned by a merchant of Hamburg (a neutral in the ongoing conflict between France and England) named Chapeau Rouge, who was represented in the proceedings by Hans Frederic Seeman.
