The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. It was ratified as a response to the abuse of the writ of assistance, which is a type of general search warrant, in the American Revolution. The amendment specifically also requires search and arrest warrants be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. Search and arrest should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court, usually by a law enforcement officer, who has sworn by it. In Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961), the Supreme Court ruled that the Fourth Amendment applies to the states by way of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Supreme Court has also ruled that certain searches and seizures violated the Fourth Amendment even when a warrant was properly granted. From Wikipedia under the

I've noticed that people on both end of the political spectrum seem to be in favor of dismissing rights guaranteed in our Constitution. Liberals seem to be in favor of curtailing our freedom of speech and the right to bear arms. Conservatives seem to be in favor of curtailing due process, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, habeas corpus, cruel and unusual punishment, and separation of church and state. They try to enforce their viewpoints in the name of patriotism. But isn't it more patriotic to support and defend the Constitution of the United States instead of trying to change it? I would like some rational viewpoints from anyone. No rabid diatribes, please. Asked by Patrick D - Fri Jan 16 23:21:19 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm a conservative, a Republican and opposed to most civil rights abuses. I know that sounds liberal. But the truth is the most dangerous liberals I know, bend and twist civil rights to suit THEIR agendas rather than apply them equally. I have seen liberal judges torture defendants in the name of the greater good. Only to have a conservative appellate judge slam them on appeal and reverse their judgments. I have seen politicians promise to protect civil rights, and violate them with impunity with legislation that is unimaginably perverse.

I like living in a country where the police don't kick in your door and take you away unless you deservie it, and a warrent has been issued. They did that in Soviet russia. You would whine about your job, or the fact you had to wait with a cold in line to get free bread, then 4 people before you got there they ran out. Next evening, KGB licks in your door and poof, your only a memory. So I am for it. Timtoday - Our rights as Americans were given to us by God and as such not revokable by man, or a government.

Q. This is how they wrote it : The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms. The Third Amendment prohibits the government from quartering troops in private homes, a major grievance during the American Revolution. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure. The government may not conduct any searches without a warrant, and such warrants must be issued by a judge and based on probable cause. The Fifth Amendment provides that citizens not be… [cont.] Asked by William F - Sun Mar 22 17:29:22 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Perhaps you could show where their words are not in agreement with the original. What they are doing is no different then what your high school text book does in the "bill of rights" chapter. EDIT: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Your comments do not answer my questions. Of course it does not cite all the amendments word for word. It is as Tonalc stated, a summary. You are implying some malice on the part of the Obama Admin, and the people who posted the content, malice that does not exist. In no way does it state that "the following words are the TEXT of the bill of rights" rather it summarizes what rights they protect.… [cont.] Answered by Shadow Knight - Sun Mar 22 17:33:59 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Unreasonable search and seizure" |
