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.
It's self explanatory.

  They just make it a probable cause. Problem solved for them.

    The courts decide that and evidence admitted on illegal grounds can be rejected on that basis.

    Ah yes, the famous courts. Who pays them again?

    Taxpayers pay both cops and judges. Are you alleging a conspiracy of taxpayers to violate rights?
