"Green Gold." Martin owned a factory in which he manufactured furniture. Martin had some extra space in the factory and decided to use heat lamps to grow marijuana. He smuggled the marijuana into the hands of dealers by hollowing out the furniture and placing the marijuana inside and by putting the marijuana in drawers, etc. Law enforcement became suspicious and unexpectedly burst into the building without a warrant, discovering the marijuana. Martin asked the agent in charge about the lack of a warrant. The agent told him that Fourth Amendment protections did not extend to businesses. Martin was charged with growing marijuana. Martin refused to testify at trial. At his trial, however, the judge excluded any evidence obtained from the search, and Martin was declared not guilty because there was no evidence against him. The agent was very angry and arrested Martin immediately for the same offense as he was walking down the courthouse steps from the first trial. The agent tells Martin that he should be tried again because the judge was incorrect. Martin is placed in a holding cell and immediately calls his attorney in an attempt to get out of jail free. -Which of the following is correct regarding Fourth Amendment protections for businesses and the necessity of a search warrant prior to a search of a business?
