The first landmark case on search and seizure is generally considered to be Boyd v. United States (1886). In this case, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures extends to private papers and documents and that the government cannot compel individuals to produce them without a valid search warrant. This ruling established a significant precedent for protecting privacy rights in search and seizure cases.
