Fourth Amendment notwithstanding, we really do live in a world where screaming when an unidentifiable police officer points a gun at you through your window may be all it takes to authorize knocking your door off its hinges and dragging you outside in handcuffs.

The 4th Amendment will become the vehicle by which armed Federal thugs will exterminate a few million political dissidents.

I, for one, am beginning to believe my death will be at the hands of a Federal government thug for simply being a Conservative.

When a Federal government agency openly calls for the monitoring and arrest of Christians, conservatives, gun owners, and patriots, you have to know your time on this Earth is being counted.

There was some ruling when the lower court ruled that if police offices saw two guys fighting with knives in a picture window, they still had to ask for a search warrant to enter. The higher court said that was ridiculous and overturned it.

Not only is the definition of the term elusive, the number of situations that are deemed 'exigent' keeps expanding

Maybe that's because the government first perverted the term 'public' from meaning OWNED by the public to 'anywhere a member of the public can go'.

People ask “how on earth did the holocaust happen..?”

That question is being very silly.

It is hard to argue with a police state.

Yup, and the vast majority of precedent for this come to us courtesy of the war on drugs.

Drug warriors are more dangerous than drug users are.

Animal shelters beware!! No warrant is needed to crash into your property and seize little fawns! Maybe puppies and kittens too!!

I think that what the 4th ammendment is trying to tell them is that there are no “exigent circumstances.”
