Who defines unreasonable?

A judge when the request for a search warrant is presented, or a peace officer when articulable probable cause or reasonable suspicion exists.

[Not A Snowbird]

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.

A judge when the request for a search warrant is presented, or a peace officer when articulable probable cause or reasonable suspicion exists.

The order of the words in the fourth amendment is interesting. Probable cause applies to getting a warrant for search, but is separated from the first part of the paragraph. So, excluding the standard for a warrant, who defines unreasonable?

I feel the sudden urge to take a constitutional law class. I find this subject fascinating.
