The Fourth Amendment is one of the 10 Bill of Rights that was written on September 25, 1789. The 4th Amendment is known as the “search and seizure” amendment meaning that, no law enforcement would be able to search you or your properties, including your house, car, or bag; for no apparent reason. The only way they are allowed to search you is they have a warrant or if an illegal act is currently visible. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens of the United States by giving us the opportunity to put police officers in their place and keeps them from abusing their power of authority. I think the citizens that should be most aware of the 4th Amendment and its Supreme Court cases are those who commit crimes and often have illegal substances and or weapons on them. In order to stay out of jail and stay protected by the 4th Amendment I think that those individuals that do carry illegal drugs and illegal firearms should stay posted on certain websites and articles such as, https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fourth_amendment this website will give those individuals a chance to learn and get a better understanding of exactly what the Fourth Amendment is. Another article those individuals should visit is, http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/06/how-fourth-amendment-not-protect/ this article will give four ways the 4th Amendment will not protect, and warn them that the Fourth Amendment was not made to help criminals successeed but to protect the human rights of We the People.

Fox's Tucker Carlson declared that a new mandate requiring New York City police officers to provide written justification for stop-and-frisk encounters is "an attack on police practices that have worked." NYPD officers will soon be "required to inform some suspects why they're being stopped and frisked" after a federal judge approved a mandate proposed by the federal monitor tasked with addressing the department's stop-and-frisk tactics...

There are many organizations that are against the Fourth Amendment, one organization would be the law enforcement. Police officers do attend to break the 4th Amendment often therefore I would assume that they are against it. An example of the police breaking the 4th Amendment would be when a SWAT had raided famous rapper J.Cole's house without a search warrant.

The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government - or that's how it works in theory, anyway.

In practice, though, court decisions over several decades have created so many exceptions to this constitutional principle as to render it effectively meaningless in many real-world situations.

On Monday, the Supreme Court further weakened the Fourth Amendment by making it even easier for law enforcement to evade its requirement that stops be based on reasonable suspicion. The justices ruled 5 to 3 that a police officer's illegal stop of a man on the street did not prevent evidence obtained from a search connected to that stop to be used against him.

The case, Utah v. Strieff, started when the police in Salt Lake City got an anonymous tip of drug activity at a house. An officer monitoring the house became suspicious at the number of people he saw entering and leaving. When one of those people, Edward Strieff, left to walk to a nearby convenience store, the officer stopped him and asked for his identification. A routine check revealed that Mr. Strieff had an outstanding "small traffic warrant." The officer arrested him based on that earlier warrant, searched him and found drugs in his pockets.

The State of Utah agreed that the initial stop was illegal, because it was not based on reasonable, individual suspicion that Mr. Strieff was doing anything wrong. Instead, the state argued that the discovery of the valid warrant - after the illegal stop - got around the Fourth amendment violation.

The Utah Supreme Court rightly rejected this argument, but that decision was overturned in a majority opinion written by Justice Clarence Thomas. The officer's lack of any specific suspicion of Mr. Strieff, Justice Thomas wrote, was a result of "good-faith mistakes." The illegal stop was, at worst, "an isolated instance of negligence."

In a powerful dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor took apart that specious reasoning. "Do not be soothed by the opinion's technical language," she wrote. "This case allows the police to stop you on the street, demand your identification, and check it for outstanding traffic warrants - even if you are doing nothing wrong."

Justice Sotomayor acknowledged the temptation to let the officer get away with his own wrongdoing, since "his instincts, although unconstitutional, were correct." But that misses a "basic principle" of the Fourth Amendment, she said: "Two wrongs don't make a right."

Responding to Justice Thomas's unsupported claim that the violation of Mr. Strieff's rights was an isolated case, Justice Sotomayor pointed out that the police in Salt Lake City and nationwide routinely run warrant checks on people they have illegally stopped. Combine that practice with the "staggering" number of outstanding warrants - nearly eight million around the country, almost all for minor offenses - and cops have an even greater incentive to stop anyone for any reason, knowing the odds are good that they will find a warrant and be able to make an arrest and conduct a search.

In a final and more personal statement, Justice Sotomayor drew a link between the court's extreme deference to law enforcement officials and the racial inequity that pervades America's criminal justice system. While Mr. Strieff is white, she said, "it is no secret that people of color are disproportionate victims of this type of scrutiny." The central, disturbing message of Monday's ruling, she added, is that whether you are white or black, "your body is subject to invasion while courts excuse the violation of your rights," and in that way, "unlawful police stops corrode all our civil liberties and threaten all our lives."
