Imagine the police forcibly entering your home or otherwise violating your privacy-without a warrant, probable cause, or reasonable suspicion. The Fourth Amendment bars such blatant intrusions, but its protections are in danger today. This volume discusses the significance of search and seizure legislation and explores the evolution of the Amendment from the 1800s to the present. It also charts recent legal developments and the perceived adverse effect on our liberties of the Patriot Act.
