Bill+of+Rights+Moorca19

=The IV Amendment= 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.

Description
Amendment number four means that you cannot be searched and/or have your stuff taken randomly by a police officer for no reason.

Historical Applications
This amendment was ignored in a case called Terry vs. Ohio, a police officer suspected that two men were about to rob a store and patted them down, he was right and they were arrested. This right was used again when a school in 2009 did an illegal strip search on a girl in 7th grade, this search violated the fourth amendment and the girls family sued the school.

Today's Application
This amendment is still applies when police officers step out of order while arresting somebody, or illegally search someone in a way that it violates their privacy rights. This amendment is being lessened in power to prevent lots of criminals from getting off the hook in our generation.
