Wilson v. Layne
Definition
- The Supreme Court decision in Wilson v. Layne , 526 U.S. 603 (1999), held that the Fourth Amendment protection against unlawful search and seizures prohibited the police from bringing members of the news media into private homes while executing search warrants. However, the Court also found that the police officers involved were entitled to qualified immunity because the principle prohibiting accompanying media when searches were being executed had not been clearly established.
