Search and Seizure: Did the Government Go Too far? When is a search not a search? The Fourth Amendment was made to protect prevent unwanted search and seizure. Were DLK’s rights violated by using a thermal imager without a warrant? The Fourth Amendment protects citizens rights from unlawful search and seizure. In the case of DLK, the supreme court had to decide if the government went to far. The government went to far because the search violated the Fourth Amendment rights by unlawfully obtaining information without a warrant. What is a thermal imager? A thermal imager is a tool that can be used to detect differences of heat on a surface. Shown in Document C is a picture of DLK’s home after the police had used the thermal imager to scan the house. The picture showed a great amount of heat escaping from the windows and doors. Explained in Document B, the heat signatures were seen as suspicious because marijuana plants need sunlight to grow, but would be seen if they were being grown near windows. DLK used an artificial light that simulates sunlight, which created a great amount of heat that needed to be let out. Some might argue that because it only scanned the outside of the house it was not invading DLK’s privacy (Document B,C). …show more content…

The right to retreat and be free in one’s home from government intrusion is in the Fourth Amendment. DLK took precaution in keeping the activities he did in his home private. He was not trying to hurt anyone or knowingly expose his activities to the public. The police used thermal imaging which allowed them to see what is invisible to the naked eye. They used technology to obtain information which could not be found using natural senses, therefore invading the privacy of people and their homes. Your home is private and any private information about your house should only be obtained through a warrant (Document

The Fourth Amendment in Criminal Procedure
explanatory essay
The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution was first introduced in 1789 by James Maddison, and was a part of the Bill of Rights which includes the first ten amendments. The Fourth Amendment was created and ultimately it was created to protect two things the right to privacy and the freedom against unlawful invasions. The exact wording of the Fourth Amendment is “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 person or things to be seized.”(“Fourth Amendment”). Now after reading that some people may think they are completely safe from all types of searches and seizures, but they would be wrong. The Fourth Amendment is not a total protection against all searches and seizures against all searches and seizures; if it is declared under law a person can be searched or seized. (“What does the Fourth Amendment Mean?”). There are some specific things that are governed by the Fourth Amendment that deal specifically with criminal procedure such as arrests with warrants, searches with warrants, arrests without warrants, searches without warrants, seizure of evidence, and different types of stops and seizures (Criminal Procedure). All of this might seem confusing to the average American when just reading it casually and it sometimes can be for a person such as a police officer who is supposed to be fully educated on all these things and more. Almost all United States citizens know their First Amendment rights such as free speech and jury trial, but the Fourth Amendment always seems ...

Supreme Court Cases: The Contrast in the Constitution and Constitutional Law
argumentative essay
The Fourth (4th) Amendment of the U.S. Constitution provides 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 or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized” (Kanovitz, 2010). Courts use a two-part test to determine whether, at the time of the search, a defendant had a legitimate expectation of privacy in the place or things searched (Kanovitz, 2010). First, did the person actually expect some degree of privacy? Second, is the person's expectation objectively reasonable, being one that society is willing to recognize? (Kanovitz, 2010). However, in order for the 4th Amendment to be enforced, the U.S. Supreme Court acted upon the powers warranted by Congress to protect and uphold the Constitution. The 4th Amendment does not clearly define exactly what an unreasonable search is thus, leaving the interpretation to the discretion of...

The Importance Of The Fourth Amendment In Katz V. United States
explanatory essay
The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right of people to be free from “unreasonable searches and seizures.” This generally requires law enforcement officers to get a warrant from a judge or magistrate before searching or seizing an individual – but there are many exceptions to this rule. While it is impossible to define exactly what constitutes a search in every scenario, the Court laid out an important test for what is protected under the Fourth Amendment in Katz v. United States. For the purposes of this article, the relevant point is that government collection of a sample of a suspect’s blood, breath, or urine for the purpose of testing for the presence of alcohol or drugs always constitutes a search for Fourth Amendment purposes.

appellate paper
comparative essay
Consequently, under the Fourth Amendment, Mr. Dansby was a victim of an unreasonable search and seizure. The officer trampled on Mr. Dansby’s right of privacy when he conducted the investigatory stop.
