The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated... except by 21st century lawmen!

Many years while standing shore patrol with the Providence, RI police, one hot summer night, we entered a sailor’s house went to his bed room, hit him on the sole of his foot with a night stick to wake him up, to question him about a drug purchase. The sailor’s wife never fully woke up during the “interview”.

When I questioned them about entering the house they said,” It was not breaking and entering because his door was open and the screen door was not hooked. I mentioned if they did that where I lived in Pennsylvania, they might have been shot.
