The Fourth Amendment

Amendment #4

"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."


Though this amendment protects citizens of unreasonable searches and seizures, it is important to note the bolded word.  We are not guaranteed againsted all searches and seizures. They are deemed unreasonable under the law.  
The image shows this concept well, with a comedic undertone, demonstrating a potential violation of the 4th amendment by the police.  There is no sign that this would be a reasonable search and seizure!

 

The video is an example of one man's experience with his 4th amendment right not being granted.  Though both speak with credibility,  but there is a challenge of authority and power here.
