    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.

      I’m always confused when people say this. It’s vague as heck! That one little word in there, “unreasonable,” makes it completely up for interpretation.

        Do you think this is a reasonable use of power?

          What's the point of asking this here? Regardless of whether or not I think this is reasonable, my point about the wording being vague and subjective stands.
