Various provisions, especially in the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to the US Constitution), provide protections to those accused of crimes. For example, the Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures, so the police can't search your house, car, or other belongings without a valid reason. The Fifth Amendment provides that you can't be forced to say something that would incriminate you, and the Sixth protects your right to have a jury hear your case.
