Police actions have a big impact on our Fourth Amendment rights, which protect us from unfair searches and seizures. Here are some key points to understand:
Search and Seizure: When police stop people or search places, they need a good reason, called probable cause, or they must have permission from the person. For example, if officers go into a house without a warrant, they could be doing an illegal search.
Routine Stops: Everyday situations like traffic stops can sometimes lead to more invasive searches. This raises important questions about our personal privacy.
By being aware and understanding how these police practices work, we can help protect our rights better.
