Amendment IV
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.
The 4th Amendment is not for us. Reads like the 13th Amendment
4th Amendment: But upon probable cause
13th Amendment: Unless convicted of a crime
