    For anyone else who isn’t a yank:

    The 4th amendment is (meant to) protect against unreasonable searches and seizures.

      May as well not exist, tbh. That amendment gets infringed on so many times by police, it’s not even funny.

        happen to have a lot of cash on you? yeeeeah we’re just gonna take that. you can sue the government (haha) and maybe you’ll get it back in a few years. we’re gonna use it to juice our slush,er, benevolent order of police funding, and uh, I dunno, buy an APC and a helicopter.

        and a ton of weapons.

        oh yeah, the federal gov gives us APCs and helos surplus, shit, well, let’s paaaaaaarty

          That “probable cause” loophole is lame as hell.

          Probable cause, got flaws like dirty drawers
