below is the 4th amendment. for some reason americans not in the legal profession - which is most of them - think that this protects them against searches and seizures - or confiscations - or theft - or taking what does not belong to you, to put it into normal language. actually, if you read it - which you might consider doing as it is printed below and its very very short - actually what it does is authorize searches and seizures. how authorizing searches and seizures can be interpreted by Right Wing Patriotic Flag-Waving God-Fearing White Americans as PROTECTING THEM AGAINST searches and seizures....well, i have no explanation other than when mexicans call us "stupid white boy" - which they relentlessly do - they MIGHT be right.
"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."
