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 Oath or affi rmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. |
The amendment states that officials can't come into properties to search without search warrants. A search warrant is issued by judges. The warrant allows authorities to search someone's property. They can search the premises without a warrant if it leads to arrest if the officer finds any weapons that harm him( https://www.justia.com/criminal/docs/search-seizure-faq.html). They can search the premises without a warrant if the criminal is in hot pursuit, can search with a consent, and if suspect if the evidence will be destroyed while the warrant is being obtained.
