"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 Warrents 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."
The Amendment four guarntee's the security of persons, houses, papers, and effects. It also protects from unreasonable searches, and police do not have the power to search for evidence. In order for a police officer to search your home, they have to have a warrant issued.
In order for a warrant to be issued, someone must affirm to the judge that believes that a crime has been committed and that by searching the premises of any location, he believes he will find evidence of a crime.
This picture relates to the fourth amendment because its showing police going to someone's door and they obviously think that there has been a crime of some sort. In order for the cops to be at this home and to search the home, then they have to get a warrant and affirm it with the judge that there might be a crime. I read in a article, "the police officer does not have to be correct in his assumption, he just has to have a reasonable belief that searching someone's private property will show evidence of the crime."
Amendment Four is a big deal in the bay of Florida. This video talks about the state of Florida and that 48.8% support the amendment and 27.8% oppose the amendment. Jim Davis opposes the amendment four but he did talk about how he wants to see change in Florida. The video was talking about how the amendment could be a jobs killer, but according to some people they think that it wouldn't. Millions of dollars have been spent to defeat Amendment four in Florida.
