Well that would make it very easy for the rest of us Amerikans to engage in criminal activity, while hiding behind someone who cannot be searched.
Who cares about the Constitution anyway.
I say the Police should be able to search anyone, anytime. In fact, put our names in a hopper, pull one of our lucky names and have them kick down doors at random, looking for anthing they want.
While they are at they should confiscate whatever they want as well.
Heck our entire lives are contraband.
We have no personal right to anything. The power of the government must be obeyed and they have the right to our stuff and can give to our neighbors, if they are in a Robin Hood kind of mood.
I have to go hide something important to me and hope they aren’t surveilling me.
Ssshhhh!
There are no Constitutional rights involved here. The Constitution does not protect those who are serving a sentence after being convicted under the due process of law.
In fact, stating that a parolee or a convict on probation is entitled to full Constitutional rights makes a mockery of them for free citizens.
You can argue that it’s bad policy, but don’t drag the Constitution into it. If you’re serving your sentence for a crime, the state can make you hop on one foot every noon in the town square if they want, provided it’s not ex post facto.
