It keeps the police from being able to take your property or enter your dwelling indiscriminately. Meaning: under normal circumstances, a police officer cannot just take your property or come inside your house for no reason. He would have to appear before a magistrate and request a search warrant. Normally, courts will not issue a search warrant unless there is a valid reason to do so.
