4th Amendment

copied from: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html

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.



This clip discusses the 4th amendment violation where Edward Snowden exposes the NSA's ability to track/tap anyone and anything without probable cause or the citizens knowledge...disregarding the 4th amendment.

This cartoon is poking fun at the 4th amendment seeing as it's Santa Claus who has violated the law.

The 4th amendment guarantees no unreasonable search and seizures of persons, houses, papers, and effects without probable cause. With probable cause, once it has been established, an approved warrant must list specific persons, places and things to be searched and seized.
