Illinois v. McArthur 531 U.S. 326 (2001) was a United States Supreme Court case decided in 2001. The case concerned the extent of the government’s power to limit an individual’s complete control of his or her home pending the arrival of a search warrant. A divided Court held that the search was not unconstitutional because there was a reasonable law-enforcement need to acquire a warrant namely to prevent the potential destruction of evidence within the home.
