Abstract:

Over the years, the United States Supreme Court, the appellate courts of North Carolina, and the North Carolina legislature have developed certain rules for conducting arson investigations. All of these rules involve balancing law enforcement’s interest in investigating apparent crimes with the property owner’s expectation of privacy. This article is a brief summary of those rules.
