On my seemingly never-ending quest to figure out what the hell the US Amendments are I have now reached the 4th which is one that people also scream about the most. This is one is super complicated and I’ll only pick through the parts that apply to me because fuck doing thorough research.
“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.”
Once again, some of this is a holdover from when the English were ruling our asses. It pretty much meant that no one with a crown could run up in your house and be like “I have found some shit that could get you locked up so now I shall take thee to the booty house!” The honked up part is that this Amendment is only applicable to the government, not some nosy asshole that decided to snoop and find your stash of horse porn and weed. It varies in each state so you should probably know how yours operates.
