Doesn't an American citizen have a right to not be searched / have things taken away from them by the authorities?
What gives the FBI the right to do this? Don't they need evidence of wrongdoing as well as a warrant?
Are their wives proud of their big bully husbands? Going to bed with a Nazi thug every night?
I don’t think thee FBI cares about legalities at this point.
You have major figures in the media openly talking about their corruption.
The problem is the FBI doesn’t seem to care what the public thinks.
Perhaps they want to push the envelope now, before they put the 87,000 armed IRS agents on the beat.
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.
They use to have need of a warrant.
They have no legal right to do this.
Strictly speaking, they claim no legal right to do this.
By doing it, more or less expressly extralegally, they are speaking, and with a loud voice: We will do as we please, and get away with it (utter impunity). 2+2=5, and you had better admit this fact, sooner rather than later, to give us an excuse to go a little easier on you, at least for the time being.
No. But they are the FBI. The FBI are a Law unto themselves. They answer to no one. They get ready to murder some. They murder someone. No one makes a peep or they get murdered. The gun on their side gives them the right to do this. One objects and one is murdered. They FBI Agents are a mob of kill happy bloodthirsty murders.
