Abstract
This paper discusses the ramifications of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution on police work. Specifically, it contains an analysis of how the Fourth Amendment helps and hinders police in their daily jobs. A concise description of the Fourth Amendment is provided, explaining its purpose to protect the citizens of the United States from unlawful search and seizure, and to grant them certain privacy rights.
From the Paper
"The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the citizens of the United States from unlawful search and seizure, and grants them certain privacy rights. These rights have been in place since the Constitution was written in 1787, and have gone through many decades of debate and refining in the American court system. What remains crystal clear about the Fourth Amendment as it relates to the day-to-day business of the police officer is the duty of the officer making an arrest or seizure to know and put into practice the Fourth Amendment rights of an individual before the arrest. The officer must make sure the case is not challenged later, and a guilty person goes free on a rights technicality. This is often one of the most difficult aspects of an officer's duty, because of technicalities of the law."

Abstract
Few provisions of the Bill of Rights grew so directly out of the experience of the colonials as the Fourth Amendment, embodying as it did the protection against the utilization of the "writs of assistance." This paper provides an overview of the Fourth Amendment and examines several rulings where this amendment was applied.
From the Paper
"The decision in Terry v. Ohio (1968) established that some brief seizures may be made without probable cause. If an officer has a reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed or will soon be committed, that officer may briefly detain a suspect to frisk him for weapons and question him. This is known as a "Terry stop." The case of Wong Sun v. U.S. (1963) covered suspects who run out the side or back door as sufficient for probable cause, however, and there have been other cases in which suspicious behavior like dropping packages or using phones but not talking, have held up."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the Fourth Amendment, the amendment itself and whether the rights covered are threatened today. Considering the current political climate in the United States since the 9-11 terrorist attacks, this paper discusses whether searches and seizures are unconstitutional when the nation's security is at risk.
From the Paper
"Americans hold very dear the Bill of Rights. Among the ten amendments that make up the Bill of Rights is the Fourth, one many refer to as the most ambiguous of the all the amendments. Search and seizure law is drawn from the Fourth and over the years the Supreme Court has come to view that its main purpose is the protection of a citizen?s property and privacy. However, according to the conclusion of the Court, the Fourth Amendment does not ?protect all property interests or apply to all situations where people might wish to protect their privacy.? Perhaps, never has this amendment felt more threatened than today. The attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11th, spurred the White House Administration to create the office of Homeland Security and pass the Homeland Security Act, an act many feel treads on citizens? rights protected by the Bill of Rights, in particular Fourth Amendment.

Abstract
This paper examines the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution under the Bill of Rights. The author points out that this amendment prohibits unlawful searches and seizures on the part of the government and is aimed at protecting the security and privacy of individual citizens from government intrusions. The paper reviews the amendment and suggests some contemporary challenges to its authority.
From the Paper
"Anyone who has ever watched any of the number of courtroom dramas broadcast on television these days will have heard of the Fourth Amendment. For lawyers, it seems to be a phrase tossed around with ease with the likes of probable cause and unlawful search and seizure. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution constitutes one of the most important elements of the modern American justice system, but is one part that is not so well understood by the general populace. Additionally, the increasing number of electronic crimes via computers and the Internet has made the Fourth Amendment even more difficult to understand and appropriately apply for citizens and lawmakers alike."

"Fourth Amendment and Drug Enforcement
Historians who have analyzed the framers' reasons for adopting the fourth amendment have consistently reached the same conclusion. The framers sought to ensure that the newly formed federal government could not employ the two devices used by the British Crown that they believed jeopardized the liberty of every citizen: the general warrant and the writ of assistance..
From as early as the sixteenth century and most prominently during the era of the infamous Star Chamber, the general warrant was the most powerful legal weapon in England against critics of the Crown. The Crown regarded all critical pamphlets as libelous, and it used the general warrant to conduct "search and destroy" missions by which to identify and to close down libelous ..."

SUPREME COURT'S 4TH AMENDMENT JURISPRUDENCE
This essay traces the evolution of the jurisprudence of the American Supreme Court in its interpretations since 1960 of the Fourth Amendment. In balancing the rights of the people to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures by law enforcement and other governmental agencies and the interests of public order, the Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren (1953-1969) tipped the scales in the 60s in favor of individual rights, by ruling that the prohibitions of the Fourth Amendment applied to the states and local governments under the exclusionary rule, emphasizing the importance of searches and seizures being conducted in accordance with search warrants issued by neutral judges or magistrates and restricting the legitimate scope of warrantless searches. Subsequent Courts under Chief Justices ..."

Abstract
This paper is about the fourth amendment and our right to privacy. It goes into many different United States Supreme Court decisions. This paper takes an in-depth look at how the government can conduct searches without a warrant. Topics include: Searches incident to lawful arrest, searches with consent, exigent circumstances, special needs beyond law enforcement, administrative searches and inspections, stop and frisk, and the automobile exception.
From the Paper
"The words search and seizure come out of our 4th amendment right, in the American constitution. Some people think that search and seizure is one continues act, but this is not true. They are actually two separate acts, each with there own meaning. Although they are separate acts, they both do fall under the fourth amendment, and are subject to the probable cause requirement. Meaning, that before a government official can lawfully search and seize something, they first must establish "probable cause," before doing so. This is done by gathering facts, either something the officer heard, saw, felt, or smelt. It is important for the officer to first establish this, because if he doesn't it can result in exclusion of the evidence obtained. For the purposes of this paper whenever I refer to the "Supreme Court," or simply "Court," I am referring to the United States Supreme Court (Court of last resort)."

Abstract
This paper discusses that the Constitution of the United States provides protection from illegal search and seizure through the Fourth Amendment, but the Fourth Amendment is written in such a way that it can be vague when it comes to what is and what is not a legal search and seizure. The author points out that searches and seizures must have reasonable reasons for being requested and for being authorized and conducted; when a search is allowed, it must be backed by affirmations or oaths that explain why the search is being requested. The paper concludes that any time one studies issues of the Fourth Amendment rights to be protected from search and seizure that is unreasonable, it is important to understand that the case may look very similar to others, but may be completely different when the facts are examined.
From the Paper
"The judges who ruled in each case commented that if the jacket had been locked in a briefcase within the van it might have called to question the driver?s ability to consent to a search. This was an interesting ruling especially since previous cases regarding similar issues have been decided I favor of the government as well as against the government and its claim to the right to search possessions within a stopped vehicle."

Preface
Background
From the Paper
"Though the concept of justice may be open to many different interpretations, the one that virtually all agree should encompass the concept is that of truth-seeking. Justice is, or should be, the pursuit of the truth in ascertaining one's guilt or innocence. Whether one is cited for speeding or placed on trial for murder, the process of discovering, or uncovering, the truth should be the core goal of those within the justice system to ensure the rights of every citizen are preserved and that no citizen is deprived of these rights without a full and vigorous pursuit of the truth. Unfortunately, it is the process itself that is often at odds to the ultimate discovery of the truth."
