Fourth Amendment

"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 fourth amendment guarantees our rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. It requires that police officers or other people that need to perform a search or seizure must first obtain a proper warrant signed by a proper authority (a judge). This amendment is designed to protect our personal privacy and property.

The video below is about a proposed law that would assuredly be an infringement of our fourth amendment rights. It would essentially allow police officer the ability to draw blood on the spot if the "suspect" someone of drinking and driving.
