What the fourth amendment of the bill of rights mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Fourth Amendment means that no one can search you, your home, or your personal property without a warrant, unless their reason is justified. (reasonable)

There are exceptions to the "personal" extent of the amendment, such as suspicious activity, commission of a crime, or making threats against others. Your home may be entered without a warrant only if circumstances lead the police to believe that someone is in imminent danger, or is becoming the victim of a violent crime.

Difference between Texas Bill of Rights and US Bill of Rights?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Texas Bill of Rights and the U.S. Bill of Rights contrast in that the U.S. includes the Bill of Rights only as an addendum in the first ten amendments. Texas places it's Bill of Rights in the beginning of Article I.

Texas changes the order of its Rights significantly and goes on to include the perceived dangers of the time, such as the threat of the national government. Since Texas did not trust the government they added protections from the government in the Bill of Rights.

  • The threat of national government - "the maintenance of our free

    institutions and the perpetuity of the Union depend upon the preservation of the right of local self-government unimpaired to all the States." [Article I,

    Section 1]

  • The threat of state government - "[the people of Texas] have at all times

    the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such

    manner as they may think expedient" [Article I, Section 2]

  • The threat of government favoritism - "All free men, when they form a social

    compact, have equal rights and no man, or set of men, is entitled to exclusive

    separate public emoluments, or privileges, but in consideration of public

    services." [Article I, Section 3]

  • Article VI: Suffrage: Specifies separately the basic right to vote and the qualifications for voting for Texans
  • The two constitutions are similar in that they provide for a separation of powers, checks and balances, and a bill of rights.
  • The concept of federalism is also embodied in both documents.
  • The supremacy clause and the necessary and proper clause found in the U.S.. Constitution distinguish the federal constitution from its state counterpart.

What does it mean to have an armband tattoo on your right arm?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Among gay men, piercing the left nipple only or tattooing an armband on the left upper arm only, can be perceived as a statement that the wearer is a top or dominant, meaning that sexually he is anally insertive and orally passive (he receives oral from his partner). In the context of someone who is into B&D or S&M, it means that they are the dominant partner in sexual activities and function as the master, daddy or sir. A gay man who has pierced his right nipple only or has tattooed an armband on only his right upper arm, can be perceived as the bottom or submissive, meaning that sexually he is the anally receptive partner and orally active (he gives oral to his partner). In the B&D and S&M subculture, it means that they are the submissive partner in sex, and function as the slave or boy.

The origin or left/right can possibly be attributed to the following:

The wearing of various colored bandanas around the neck was common in the mid and late nineteenth century among cowboys, steam railroad engineers, and miners in the Western United States. It is thought that the wearing of bandanas by gay men originated in San Francisco after the Gold Rush, when, because of a shortage of women, men dancing with each other in square dances developed a code where the man wearing the blue bandana took the male part in the square dance, and the man wearing the red bandana took the female part (these bandanas were usually worn around the arm or hanging from the belt or in the back pocket of one's jeans). The modern-day version of this Bandana Code or Hanky Code actually originates back to the 70s when the New York City newspaper, the Village Voice, published an article suggesting that it would be easier for gay men in the Village to pick each other up if they didn't only have to rely on wearing their keys in their back pockets, left to denote active, right passive. The feature suggested that they should all get down to the surplus store at the intersection of Christopher and Washington Streets where they could buy color-coded Levi's bandanas. Although it was originally said in a sarcastic manner, the gay community took the recommendation to heart, not only in New York, but eventually across the globe. Although the code isn't as strong as it once was, it still exists in some circles.
