What does the fourth amendment mean?
Guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. Search and seizure is a legal procedure used in many civil law and common law legal systems whereby police or other authorities and their agents, who suspect that a crime has been committed, do a search of a person's property and confiscate any relevant evidence to the crime.
What does the 4th amendment mean?
No authority figure can pull you over, arrest you, or search you for no reason. They either have to have a warrant to search you or your property and or arrest you. And the only way they can pull you over or arrest you on the spot is if you're doing something illegal... But there are a few exceptions. Like if a police officer knocks on your door and asks to come in, and you let him in, he can search anything within reach. He can't tear your house apart, but he can briefly search you. And same thing when an officer pulls you over. He can search your car and your glove box if it doesn't have a lock on it. And he or she can search your trunk if theres a automatic opening lever somewhere in the cabin of the car. Anything with a lock on it, the officer either needs permission from the owner or a warrant. Another little bump in this amendment is searching for security reasons, like at an airport. Airport security has the right to search and seize anything that looks suspicious to them, even people. If the officer searches you without a warrant or your permission and or if you get arrested without doing anything illegal or threatening your case gets thrown out and you get to walk free. Many court cases of suspects that everybody was 100% sure the suspect was guilty have been thrown out because of this amendment. But it ultimately helps the rest of the amendments protect the civilians from the government.

4th and 14th amendments????
The 4th amendment prevents the govt from doing unreasonable searches and seizures where there is an expectancy of privacy. The 14th amendment applies that rule upon the state governments (Mapp v. Ohio) Your case is very similar to this case in the aspect of the police showing her a piece of paper as a warrant. In Mapp v Ohio, a piece of paper was portrayed as a real warrant, however that warrant was never shown in court because god knows if it was indeed a warrant. The ruling of Mapp v Ohio said that "The Fourth Amendment prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures, as applied to the states through the Fourteenth, excludes unconstitutionally obtained evidence from use in criminal prosecutions." Therefore, the cops had to receive permission to bust into her home by getting a warrant. UNLESS they saw something that showed there was eminent danger in the house or saw a crime occurring from outside or heard someone screaming "HELP!", then they can enter without a warrant. So that covers that part. Now i will need more information about the police busting in due to "Public Safety" Explain that a little better
What is the Fourth Amendment?
A completely forgottent Amendment. Sadly in our nation we have to defend these enumerated rights when the Amendments themselves admit they are never to be considered a complete enumeration (9th Amendment) but some incontrovertible examples .4th Amendment“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.”9th Amendment“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
How would you explain the 4th Amendment?
“AMENDMENT 4 - 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.”This means it is a crime for government to spy on the people, to read our emails, enter our property, or to take our stuff without clear evidence that the person so violated has committed a violation of another individual’s rights— there’s no room for victimless “crimes” here. It means that to get a warrant, the cops must first explain exactly where they want to look, and specifically what (or who) they are looking for. Anything else is off-limits.Yes, I realize the criminals of the Supreme Court have lied their way out of making government obey the rules which apply to it. This shows that government is not legitimate.
What do you do think the fourth amendment mean in your own words ame?
Fourth amendment guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. Unreasonable searches and seizures might be considered discriminatory and an unfair practice. A warrant or probable cause is needed with the exceptions of border search, International airports, sobriety checkpoints or other roadblocks where everyone passing by or through are searched.
