Rochin v. California, 342 U.S. 165 (1952)

Question

Accepted Answer

Search and Seizure | Facts: Having 'some information' that ROchin was selling narcotics, officers went to his home and found the defendant in bed. On the nightstand were some capsules and when the officers asked what they were, Rochin put them in his mouth and swallowed them. He was taken to the hospital, where his stomach was pumped against his will. Two capsules were recovered that contained morphine, and he was convicted of possession of narcotics. | Issue: Was the scope of this search--stomach pumping--unreasonable? | Decision: The court found that this search was unreasonable because it runs counter to the decencies of civilized conduct and, as such, shocks, the conscience of the court and society.
