Was the search and seizure legal or illegal?
This was an illegal search because they were originally searching her house for a bombing suspect but then came across "lewd and lascivious" pictures which was illegal in Ohio. They could not convict her for the possession of these pictures because they were found in a trunk, which no person could fit in, making it not part of the search warrant and therefore illegal to search. Furthermore, there was no search warrant at all so the entire search was illegal.

Did the case violate the persons fourth amendment right?
Yes

Importance of Case
