“What is reasonable for vehicles is different from what is reasonable for homes,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his opinion. Thomas noted that the “community caretaking” exception did not constitute “a standalone doctrine that justifies warrantless searches and seizures in the home.”

Exactly.
That struck me as really unusual. They must have traded off on a different case.

According to the article, the Supreme Court’s ruling was unanimous!
So maybe the quaint old Bill of Rights still has some life in it after all.

My sense is they traded off on another controversial area that we’ll find out about later.
I’ve gotten really cynical in my old age.

Even THEY realize how broadly weaponized this could be used.
Somebody known to be a drug user? No knock warrant to seize drugs? Sure, why not? They may use those drugs and harm themselves or somebody else. They could get behind the wheel!!! OMG!!! take their car too!
Parent shouts at a ref during kids soccer game? Other Parent “does not feel safe”? Raid the house! confiscate baseball bat, nail gun, 2*4s, all sharp and pointy things in the kitchen? Sure!

“objectively grounded in a non-investigatory public interest, such as health or safety” This “Health and Safety” nonsense is how we got to the dictatorial circumstances we are in now, with all levels of government seizing powers they don’t have in the name of “health and safety.” The only “Safety” the government is to provide is to protect our borders and they are doing a piss-poor job of that.

If they traded off, I wonder of that means the upcoming abortion case will not have an outcome we like.

Don’t expect Democrat owned and operated police departments to be in any particular rush to tell their cops to stop and get a warrant before kicking in doors with this ‘health and safety’ pretext being tossed.
They still have lots of guns to illegally seize and lots of people to oppress with Soviet-style accusations of mental health problems.

I wonder if this means that “red flag” laws are also unconstitutional? Every state has involuntary commitment laws which allow a doctor or a cop to have a person involuntarily committed to a psych facility for a short period (IIRC it's 72 hours in Massachusetts). Of course a person who's been admitted to a psych facility won't have access to firearms.
To: xzins
Methinks the squishes and Leftists/Fascists on SCOTUS desperately wanted to uphold the seizure, but they know the Second Amendment is what will set off a Second Civil war.
Also of note, I don't see the NRA filing any Amicus Briefs or otherwise helping with this case, but I do see that the GOA and Second Amendment Foundation did.
I am glad that I trusted my instincts and passed up getting a lifetime NRA membership ...

There’s no due process which is why I will never vote for these mental gun grabs without it. It’s unconstitutional and allows the corrupt to abuse citizens.

Could be. Or maybe one in the recent past that we didn’t like.

...or that after just four months of one party rule they see how fast a small group of men with an agenda can destroy our nation.
The check and balance of our Republic is broken. The Supreme Court is the only check left.
We can always hope..

Good question. It makes sense what you say given what Justice Thomas wrote.
