The correct answer is 'a'. The evidence will not be admissible in court.
Explicación
## Step 1The problem presents a scenario where Harry is stopped by the police and his suitcase is searched without his consent. The police find an illegal weapon in the suitcase. The question asks us to determine the likely outcome of this case.## Step 2The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. This means that the police must have a warrant or probable cause to search a person or their property.## Step 3In this case, the police did not have a warrant or probable cause to search Harry's suitcase. Therefore, the evidence (the illegal weapon) found in the suitcase would not be admissible in court.## Step 4The other options (b, c, and d) are not correct because they either involve Harry being found guilty without the evidence being admissible (b), the police being allowed to search the suitcase without a warrant (c), or Harry physically resisting the officer (d). All of these scenarios would violate Harry's Fourth Amendment rights.
