Law & Ethics in the Business Environment

 In this case the search and seizure was not in violation of the fourth amendment. The fourth amendment is triggered when there is a search and seizure by the government which typically means the any government agent. But this does not apply to nosey neighbors who look through your home. A thing is searched when there is a trespass to person, houses, paper. The amendment come in to play when the government intrudes upon a person’s property. Once triggered the four amendment requires reasonableness. A search or seizure must be reasonable for it to be constitutional. What make it reasonable is if there is a warrant or there is an exception.  For a warrant to be issued it need to be based on probable cause issued by neutral and detached magistrate and described with particularity.
