This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. The 4th amendment, as interpreted by the supreme judicial court, is a freaking joke. The jurisprudence begs the question. It says a search is only unreasonable if you have a reasonable expectation of privacy--and then they proceed to tell us where we should have a reasonable expectation of privacy and where we shouldn't. lol

The 4th amendment is another of the many glaring errors in our Constitution. Even the fixes to the Constitution couldn't fix it. The Bill of Rights is troublesome.

Well, it's conceivable that he's right and SCOTUS is wrong, especially the way they've been ruling the last century or so. When they say something, it means that is the binding interpretation of the law till someone can get them to reverse themselves, but if they ruled that the moon was made of green cheese it would have no effect whatsoever on the chemical composition of the moon.

An error? You think the "right of the people to be secure in their persons, papers and effects . . . " is an error?

What would you replace the Constitution with?

No, I think thermal imaging is out. We FINALLY found something that violates 4A (until the technology is in general use by the public). The analogy used was that a cop wearing glasses and looking at your house doesn’t constitute an intrusion because lots of people wear glasses; thermal imaging isn’t that widespread. Isn’t it nice to know that the BOR comes with an expiration date?
