Concept information
Preferred term
See v. City of Seattle
Definition
- In a companion case to Camara v. Municipal Court (1967), See v. City of Seattle, 387 U.S. 541 (1967), the U.S. Supreme Court held that fire inspectors could not perform nonconsensual, nonemergency searches of a locked commercial warehouse without a search warrant because such searches fail to comply with Fourth Amendment requirements. Justice Byron White wrote the majority opinion for this case, which, along with its companion, overturned Frank v. Maryland (1959), a case that had permitted warrantless administrative searches.
