    One exception to the fourth amendment that requires a search warrant can be a vehicular search. Vehicular searches allows for a person's vehicle to be searched without a search warrant if the officer undertaking the search has probable cause to believe that the vechicle obtained contains contraband. Your privacy in a residence is higher than it would be in your car. Privacy is lowered in your vehicle because it is a mobile environment where you encounter other drivers and predistrication. To maintain the safety of yourself and others on the road vehicle searches done by police officers without a search warrant are legal and needed in order to limit the potential danger in the environment.…

    One of the great things the 4th amendment does to benefit denizens is protects your privacy. The law enforcement will not be able to probe your house without a search warrant. So if the law enforcement were to probe your house without a warrant, they are not licitly sanctioned to probe you. The search will have to be proven as a probable cause, by a judge if the law didn’t get your sanction. The judge and the citizen that is being probed will have to both prove: how the search will benefit them, or is irreverent to the citizen that the law wants to search.…

    Some have tried to claim that it was dubious as to whether it was even possible for Apple to create a piece of software that performed what the FBI was demanding. This is a much more logically consistent counter argument because one cannot do the impossible, but the counter argument can be refuted via induction. Apple could automatically update iPhones without permission (Landau 1398). Apple has automatically updated iPhones without permission in the past (Landau 1398), and so Apple could do so again to install this back door. Also, based on the research lead by Dr. Choi (an expert in computer engineering), updates to the firmware of the smart phone could be utilized to create a back door program (39).…

    DAVID FALLSBAUER’S RIGHTS UNDER THE FOURTH AMENDMENT WERE VIOLATED BY THE POLICE OFFICERS, BECAUSE WHEN FACED WITH AMBIGUITY REGARDING THE A THIRD PARTY’S CONSENT TO SEARCH THEY FAILED TO MAKE A FURTHER INQUIRY.

    Apple should not provide the encryption code to unlock the iPhone of Syed Farook- one of the San Bernardino Shooters. Though the U.S government is seeking this encryption code in the name of national security, this access to millions of American’s personal information can too easily lead to the compromise of people’s 4th amendment rights. Moreover, this access may increase the targeting of minority groups such as Muslim American and African Americans. Using examples from Rampage and The New Jim Crow, I will demonstrate that this breach of privacy should be avoided and prove that it is inessential to combating domestic terrorism.…

    What the FBI wants Apple to do is write a new code, which is considered a form of speech. It violates the First Amendment rights as forcing speech and going against Apples interests. Gross also continues by saying that Apple is also arguing that this should not be forced upon them because the FBI has not proven that useful information will be found on the phone, it has only been speculated. According to Gross, “The Fifth Amendment protects U.S. residents against the government taking away their liberty” (Gross).
