How does the fourth amendment support privacy?
U.S. Const., Amend. IV:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Amendment IV forms the basis for the Exclusionary Rule, which, if validly applied, excludes inculpatory evidence from consideration as to the criminal responsibility and therefore criminal liability of a person or entity. That is, it functions to prohibit unlawful searches and seizures, including seizures of the person constituted by the arrest and detention of persons. In this context, the "right to privacy" is the "right to be free of unlawful searches and seizures"--and, of course, it is a very highly-qualified right.

Unless the police have probable cause against you, they cannot search or arrest you without a warrant. The amendment specifically requires search and arrest warrants be judicially sanctioned and supported by probably cause . It was adopted as a response to the abuse of the writ of assistance , which is a type of general search warrant , in the American revolution . Search and arrest should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court , usually by a law enforcement officer , who has sworn by it .

In addition, it also requires search and arrest warrants to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause (the standard by which officers have the grounds to arrest someone). George Washington The 4th Amendment was important back then, because the British had the right to invade colonists homes and seize and/or charge the person with crime.
