Entry 7: 4th Amendment

Source:   October 26, 2009.


Constitutional Connection: 4th Amendment
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures..."

Explanation of Connection:

    This cartoon shows two police officers about to kick down a door stating," 4th Amendment
Privacy Rights. One officer states," We're supposed to knock and announce." The other police
officer has a letter that says that it's ok if you don't and it is signed by the Supreme Court.
Also, the officer about to kick down the door states," Yeah sure." in answering the other's question.

    This cartoon clearly demonstrates the 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution.
People have the right to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures. The two policemen
have no reason to invade the persons or etc. of the people. The first officer clearly doesn't care
about going against the peoples' rights. The letter he is holding is probably forged. The second officer
is aware that they shouldn't be doing this. It shows that the 4th amendment should not be violated
unconstitutionally.

    I feel that they are abusing their power and being unjust by violating the rights of others.
By violating the rights of people given to them by the constitution, they are committing a
crime against the constitution. If the Supreme Court supported such an action, they should
face consequences. The Supreme Court would not give permission for such an action because their power is to guide by the Constitution.
