The bill protects people from being searched without a warrant or legal reason. No home can be searched without a valid reason since every person has the right to privacy. If the police need to search someone's home, they can go to a judge and gain a warrant. They must have probable cause to obtain this warrant, and because the judge decides whether or not the warrant is

It protects personal privacy and the right to be free. The amendment states "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 an Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched , and the person or things to be seized." This is meaning that the amendment's goal is to protect people's privacy and freedom from being intruded by even the government. The protection under the Fourth Amendment can be ignored if the person that was searched admits to the search or agrees to it if there was no warrant.

The founders believed that freedom from intrusion was a natural right. Idea goes back to English history in 1604. Sir Edward Coke identified this right saying "The house of everyone is him as his castle and fortress".
Terry v. Ohio is a case that took place December 12, 1967 where Terry and two men were observed by two police officers that were in plain clothes were "casing a job, a stick-up." The officer stopped and searched the three men, and found weapons on two of them. He was sentenced for 3 years in jail for carrying a weapon. In an 8-to-1 decision, the Court held that the search undertaken by the officer was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment and that the weapons seized could be introduced into evidence against Terry. Another case included Flordia v. Bositck and Weeks v. United States.

While some of the more modern amendments that we have made to the constitution are not always agreeable, we are continuing to improve what the founding fathers planed for us when they wrote this historical document.

If someone was arrested that violated their constitutional rights the evidence found will be taken away from their trial to protect their rights for personal privacy.
