A startling home-made video now shows the terrifying moments where Watertown residents were forced out of their homes at gunpoint as SWAT teams performed door-to-door searches as they hunted the second marathon bomber. While millions of Bostonians waited in their houses on Friday during the city-wide lockdown, the people of Watertown were faced with SWAT officers yelling at them to get out of the buildings immediately.

You’re an ugly drunk. But you already knew that.
Well your argument appears to be pragmatic, that "mad dog bombers" or whatever trump the fourth. Wrong again, nothing trumps the 4th, well may martial law does, I have not read up on that.
I'll give up analogies when you give up hypotheticals.
Do you know what people do in warfare?
Revere himself is quoted as having said ~ regarding his own intelligence operations "in the Fall of 1774 and winter of 1775, I was one of upwards of thirty, chiefly mechanics, who formed ourselves into a Committee for the purpose of watching British soldiers and gaining every intelligence on the movements of the Tories." According to Revere, "We frequently took turns, two and two, to watch the (British) soldiers by patrolling the streets all night.",
Guarantee he didn't get warrants!
Stay off my lawn ~ otherwise you might find out what trumps the 4th.
That's not the way it works.
They became cops for the opportunity to smack perps upside the head and shoot people ~ of course ~ everybody knows that. I trust them much more than you when it comes to finding some perp to smack upside the head.
The cop orders the young boy coming down the front steps to put his hands back above his head. In the video.
That appears to be a situation where ‘they’ were not the owner. Always a problem when the owner invites the cops in to search the place.
Unfortunately you are the one who wants to turn him loose. Case law is well established and illegal searches have overturned convictions. Thankfully there was no evidence against this guy gathered during any illegal searches (that I am aware of). Furthermore I read the indictment and there is a boatload of legally gathered evidence. So his conviction is safe.
So, go interview the boy. Find out his side.
“...Paul Revere did his own house to house looking for Brits...”

I did not make this stupid remark, you did.
You are correct! The owner of a property trumps the rights of the tenants. If he says search, then the cops can search.
And that trust is predicated one what: their training on securing my property?
Regardless, your "trust" is not required. Unless and until I violate the law, your opinion of what goes on on my property is irrelevant.
So, where were those Tories? in their homes ~ maybe in their businesses ~ and where was Paul Revere's warrant?
You are the one who raised the question of Revere, but he was in a war, and hey, I think we are still in a war.
When you get as drunk as you are now, it is time for you to go to bed.
If you are harboring a mad bomber, it’s my business. I’d advise you to not try it. There are people whoare simply humorless about that class of criminal.
Does your mother know you’re still up.
And you're willing to deprive me of my rights to give yourself the warm fuzzies that I'm not?
The Middle East is where you need to go to find societies that EXTEND a householder's rights under the law to his guests ~ and if you have sufficient rank the magistrates cannot come in, and the criminals there are safe.
The 4th amendment does not extend the middle eastern rights of hospitality to mad dog bombers hiding in your boat! Besides, nobody tried to hide him.
