Freedom from Unreasonable Search and Seizure
I believe that there should be some freedom for unreasonable search and seizure. There needs to be an established line between reasonable and unreasonable search and seizure, I believe that there is not any applicable line at this point in time. While I am studying Law Enforcement I recognize the importance of search and seizure based on instinct and intuition. There are also the basic rights of the United States citizens that come into play here. The government should be regulated when they regulate its citizens. No regulation should interfere with our rights, but the police also need to be able to act within the law to catch a criminal if there is no present reason for search. In the case of Entick v. Carrington the judge states that any unreasonable search and seizure is in violation of the law as and is to be ruled as trespassing. Any case that is presented in court and its findings are reliant on the evidence as result of unreasonable search and seizure is usually discarded as non-applicable. The government needs to set an new law clearly stating the definition of unreasonable search and seizure, they also need to clarify that the evidence gained from an unreasonable search and seizure cannot and should not be used to convict somebody with a clean background. I think that the unreasonable search and seizure freedom should only be void to citizens that already have a bad history. That may be discrimination but it makes sense.
