Many people take heed to the Fourth Amendment because they know that authority won't intrude their property without proper authorization. In this picture, police are abusing the fourth amendment. The first one is kicking down a door marked with 4th Amendment Privacy Rights. He is also holding a note from the supreme that is agreeing with what the second officer said which was that they were supposed to knock first.
The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution says that 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.
I'm glad that this amendment was added to the Constitution because I think that it protects certain people. I personally would be annoyed if police had the right to come in my house without a warrant. If they came at the wrong time then there would be problems.
I think that the police should not be able to search people, their homes, their papers, etc without a warrant because that is violating their fourth amendment.
