It has been suggested that so to vary the probable cause test from the standard applied in criminal cases would be to authorize a ‘synthetic search warrant’ and thereby to lessen the overall protections of the Fourth Amendment.” Moreover, “[t]he warrant procedure is designed to guarantee that a decision to search private property is justified by a reasonable governmental interest. Such standards, which will vary with the municipal program being enforced, may be based upon the passage of time, the nature of the building (e.g., a multi-family apartment house), or the condition of the entire area, but they will not necessarily depend upon specific knowledge of the condition of the particular dwelling.

Appellant brought this action in a California Superior Court alleging that he was awaiting trial on a criminal charge of violating the San Francisco Housing Code by refusing to permit a warrantless inspection of his residence, and that a writ of prohibition should issue to the criminal court because the ordinance authorizing such inspections is unconstitutional on its face. These are questions which may be reviewed by a neutral magistrate without any reassessment of the basic agency decision to canvass an area. The Superior Court denied the writ, the District Court of Appeal affirmed, and the Supreme Court of California denied a petition for hearing.

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure T.R.E. Frank v. Maryland (1959) Camara v. Municipal Court, 387 U.S. 523 (1967), is a United States Supreme Court case that overruled a previous case ( Frank v. Maryland, 1959) and established the ability of a resident to deny entry to a building inspector without a warrant. Nevertheless, one governing principle, justified by history and by current experience, has consistently been followed: except in certain carefully defined classes of cases, a search of private property without proper consent. But reasonableness is still the ultimate standard. Similarly, the requirement of a warrant procedure does not suggest any change in what seems to be the prevailing local policy, in most situations, of authorizing entry, but not entry by force, to inspect. Certainly the nature of our society has not vitiated the need for inspections first thought necessary 158 years ago, nor has experience revealed any abuse or inroad on freedom in meeting this need by means that history and dominant public opinion have sanctioned. 585, vacated and remanded.

Borrowing from more typical Fourth Amendment cases, appellant argues not only that code enforcement inspection programs must be circumscribed by a warrant procedure, but also that warrants should issue only when the inspector possesses probable cause to believe that a particular dwelling contains violations of the minimum standards prescribed by the code being enforced. Ruling: The case was dismissed, the Supreme Court affirming in majority the decision of the Municipal Court of Manila. L. Rev. It merely gives full recognition to the competing public and private interests here at stake and, in so doing, best fulfills the historic purpose behind the constitutional right to be free from unreasonable government invasions of privacy. Yet no warrant was obtained, and thus appellant was unable to verify either the need for or the appropriate limits of the inspection. In cases in which the Fourth Amendment requires that a warrant to search be obtained, "probable cause" is the standard by which a particular decision to search is tested against the constitutional mandate of reasonableness. But we think this argument misses the mark. Facts: In a complaint filed by the Chief of Police of Hindang, Leyte on April 4, 1975, herein private respondents Celestino S. Matondo, Segundino A. Section 311(a) of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, 79 Stat. In meeting this contention, appellant argues, first, that his probable cause standard would not jeopardize area inspection programs because only a minute portion of the population will refuse to consent to such inspections, and second, that individual privacy, in any event, should be given preference to the public interest in conducting such inspections. It is regrettable that the Court's pre-occupation with the future antitrust possibilities of this 359 U.S. at 359 U. S. 383 (MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS, dissenting). Appellant has argued throughout this litigation that § 503 is contrary to the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments in that it authorizes municipal officials to enter a private dwelling without a search warrant and without probable cause to believe that a violation of the Housing Code exists therein. The Fourth Amendment: Arrest and Search and Seizure, 14,000 + case briefs, hundreds of Law Professor developed 'quick' Black Letter Law. Finally, because the inspections are neither personal in nature nor aimed at the discovery of evidence of crime, they involve a relatively limited invasion of the urban citizen's privacy. First, such programs have a long history of judicial and public acceptance. Thus, as a practical matter and in light of the Fourth Amendment’s requirement that a warrant specify the property to be searched, it seems likely that warrants should normally be sought only after entry is refused unless there has been a citizen complaint or there is other satisfactory reason for securing immediate entry. Roderick Daoang and Rommel Daoang vs The Municipal Judge of San Nicolas (GR No. [Footnote 7] Even in cities where discovery of a violation produces only an administrative compliance order, [Footnote 8] refusal to comply is a criminal offense, and the fact of compliance is verified by a second inspection, again without a warrant. at p. In the nonemergency situation here, appellant had a right to insist that the inspectors obtain a search warrant. APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA. The starting point for administrative searches is Camara v. Municipal Court. Since our holding emphasizes the controlling standard of reasonableness, nothing we say today is intended to foreclose prompt inspections, even without a warrant, that the law has traditionally upheld in emergency situations. ROLAND CAMARA, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, Defendant and Respondent. Supreme Court of United States. 92. 2d 930 (1967) Brief Fact Summary. "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.". United States Supreme Court. Yet only by refusing entry and risking a criminal conviction can the occupant at present challenge the inspector's decision to search. The decision to inspect an entire municipal area is based upon legislative or administrative assessment of broad factors such as the area's age and condition. Thus, we do not find the public need argument dispositive. “[Frank v. Maryland], to the extent that it sanctioned such warrantless inspections, must be overruled.” “In [Frank v. Maryland], [the Supreme Court] upheld the conviction of one who refused to permit a warrantless inspection of private premises for the purposes of locating and abating a suspected public nuisance.” “[T]he Frank opinion has generally been interpreted as carving out an additional exception to the rule that warrantless searches are unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment.” The majority here observed, “[t]he practical effect of this system is to leave the occupant subject to the discretion of the official in the field. And even accepting Frank's rather remarkable premise, inspections of the kind we are here considering do, in fact, jeopardize "self-protection" interests of the property owner. (People v. Lopez (2016) 4 Cal.App.5th 815, 827– 828.) No. Frank v. Maryland, 359. But we do not agree. In assessing whether the public interest demands creation of a general exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement, the question is not whether the public interest justifies the type of search in question, but whether the authority to search should be evidenced by a warrant, which in turn depends in part upon whether the burden of obtaining a warrant is likely to frustrate the governmental purpose behind the search. v. Municipal Court of the City and County of San Francisco.
