entering a suspect’s home, trying to force him to spit out pills, and pumping the victim’s stomach to recover the pills.<br />

law violated due process. 7. “the right to be free, except in very limited circumstances, from unwanted governmental<br />

intrusions into one’s privacy;” answers will vary as students can choose from several cases including Roe v. Wade, Webster<br />
