1. Read this case: A Virginia police officer relied on a tip that Mr. Harris was driving while intoxicated . The tip described Harris, his automobile, and the direction he was traveling in considerable detail. When Harris was pulled over by the officer, he reeked of alcohol; his speech as slurred; and he failed the sobriety test. The Virginia court found that this was an unreasonable search and seizure because the police relied on an anonymous informant and did not independently verify that Harris was driving while inebriated. 2. Do you agree or disagree with the Virginia court? Explain! (80-100 words)
