The Ultimate Fourth Amendment Framework

Thursday, October 1, 2026 | 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT 90 minutes

A 90-Minute Live Webinar with Anthony Bandiero, JD, ALM

Stop memorizing cases. Start using a framework.

Most Fourth Amendment training hands you a pile of case names and hopes you can sort them out later. That works right up until you’re facing a fact pattern nobody taught you.

This session does something different. Anthony Bandiero lays out a complete analytical framework — the questions you work through, in order, to evaluate any search or seizure issue. It starts with the golden rules that govern every analysis, moves to the threshold question of whether the Fourth Amendment even applies, and then walks the framework through the areas where the litigation actually happens.

You’ll leave with a repeatable structure for spotting suppression issues, evaluating officer conduct, and advising law enforcement clients — not a stack of flashcards.

What’s covered

The Framework and the Golden Rules, The text and structure of the Fourth Amendment, the golden rules of search and seizure analysis, and how courts actually weigh probabilities and reasonableness.

Government Action and the Private Search Doctrine When the Fourth Amendment applies at all — and when it doesn’t. Searches by private security, hotel staff, and other third parties.

Homes, Curtilage, and Warrantless Entries Curtilage. Knock and talks after Florida v. Jardines. Artificial vantage points. Hot pursuit. Exigent circumstances. Community caretaking after Caniglia v. Strom.

Reasonable Expectation of Privacy in the Modern Era Katz and the two-part test. The 100-person test. Social media exposure. The trespass theory revived in United States v. Jones. The tire-chalking cases.

The Vehicle Exception Carroll v. United States and Chambers v. Maroney. Why exigency isn’t required, and where the exception stops.

Q&A as time permits.
