he Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects citizens and criminal suspects from unreasonable searches of their property and persons, and prohibits police officers from making unlawful arrests ("seizures")
You've almost answered your own question. The key word is "unreasonable." ----
The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, provides protection against unreasonable search and seizure.Amendment 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."
Yes.
No, because it will break the fourth amendment stating that no unreasonable searches or seizures can be preformed. The police also need probable cause and the permission of the parents as a witness to search a minor.
The 4th Amendment says: "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."
Police would often search homes without warrant or cause, and at times plant evidence, to get a conviction.
The 4th Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures by law enforcement, which means that police cannot conduct searches or take property from individuals without a warrant or probable cause. This includes entering homes without permission or conducting searches without a valid reason.
Part of the Bill of Rights, the 4th Amendment protects all citizens of the US against unreasonable search and seizure. The police or other agency must have probable cause, and receive a judicial warrant, to enter a home or to seize any property within it. This has since been extended to cover vehicles as well, although the protection is limited and has several exceptions.
No, police generally need a warrant to legally conduct a raid on a home. The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and a warrant is typically required unless there are specific exceptions, such as extenuating circumstances or a valid consent to search.
Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure states: 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.
Although cell phone searches are a new and developing area of the law, generally, the police cannot take your cell phone and, without consent, read through your texts unless they have at least reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed or is about to be committed. This is because you have a right to privacy, which includes a right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. However, this is a new area of the law that courts are addressing for the first time.
