FOURTH 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 . . ."

This amendment protects you from the government busting into your house and rifling through your things, and taking what it wants, without a proper warrant that is issued, due to probable cause. Remember this one next time the president says we have no time to issue warrants in the war on terror.
