What does the Fourth Amendment do?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Fourth Amendment protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, without a warrant or probable cause. It does not necessarily require a warrant in all cases, but it does require some sort of justification for the search or seizure. The right to an attorney is protected by the Sixth Amendment, not the Fourth. While it does prohibit warrantless searches in some cases, such as in connection with an arrest, this is not the only restriction imposed by the Fourth Amendment.
