=The __4__ 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**= To me this amendment means that people don't have the right to go in your house without your permission. They either need your say or they need a warrant. Also they can't come into your house and take something that belongs to you. For example they cant just come to your house and take your car. They would have to have a warrant to come and take your car or something inside your house. This amendment gives the people the right to privacy because like I said people cant just walk into your house.

Historical Applications
A couple ways that the 4th amendment is not applied is people use video cameras. When you walk around there are video cameras and people could be watching you when you are walking and they should not be doing that. That is a violation of the 4th amendment because you have the right to privacy people cant spy on you.

Today's Application
The fourth amendment is still used to this day. but it is not used as much as it should be being used. For example today the police officers still have to have a warrant to search somebody's house or they need one to search somebody's vehicle. But if the person that lives at that home they can say yes to the police officer and then the police will be able to search their house. The same thing for a car the owner of the car has to say yes to the police officer so he could search his car. But if the owner says no he has to go get a warrant to be able to search that car legally. But if the cop searched the car without ta warrant or the owners ok he will get into trouble and the head chief of the police will probably give him a punishment.
