[edit] Why No Objections and Inconsistencies Mentioned?
I am curious why there are no exceptions raised in the description of this new found (1920's) power. The 4th Amendment to the Constitution does not specify differences in the level of its protections based on whether the thing to be searched is a person, house, paper, or effect. Nowhere does it state in the Amendment that an effect is subject to less protection under the 4th Amendment.
It also does not state anything about mobility. Surely when the Bill of Rights were written there were horses, horse drawn carriages, and sea fairing ships. If the 4th Amendment granted less protection for methods of transportation why is it not spelled out in the Amendment?
The motor vehicle exception is bad law, the opinion of a few ignorant judges serving policy ends over protecting Constitutional rights. How can any reasonable person see it differently? The 4th Amendment is very explicit.
This stinks as much as that Wickard v Filburn court case.72.209.12.250 (talk) 23:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
