“The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, intact for over 200 years, guaranteed that 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 of affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. After September 11th, 2001, those were just words on an old piece of paper, no longer a restriction of the Government’s overreaching power to shake down its subjects.” GovernmentFreedomConstitutionConstitutional RightsGovernment AbuseSeptember 11thFourth AmendmentSearchesUnited States ConstitutionWarrant Book:A Patriot's Act Source: A Patriot's Act
