Re: Police Allowed To Install Cameras On Private Property Without Warrant
It shouldn't then become a matter of the fourth amendment being broken and their rights being violated.
It is when they break that amendment to catch you.
Pretty sure police aren't gonna randomly set up a camera in my yard or yours.
Not up until now. There's no reason for them not to at this point, it's allowed after all.
Breaking the law is breaking the law.
But not for the police?
Ok fine now draw the line somewhere?
The 4th amendment and private property. Police shouldn't even be allowed on your property without probable cause.
What's so important about the constitution? Why do we give it such importance?
It's important because it limits the powers of government. Say you're not doing something "bad", like having a beer or smoking a doobie, the constitution is there to protect your right to those things, even if some crazy legislature decides what you're doing is "illegal".
At least it used to be.
And if power tripping government officials weren't trying to fill their pockets there wouldn't be something as inane as a ban on crack, nor any crack houses. All of those are problems caused by not following the constitution and continuously trying to circumvent it. All in the name of profit and "morality".

Why not just put a camera on everybodys property? You got nothing to hide right, so you wouldn't mind?
What's so important about the constitution? Why do we give it such importance? Surely not having a crack house next door is more important than some criminals right to privacy?
It's seriously outdated.Axlin12 wrote:Those rights and laws exist to protect everyone. Even those breaking the law.
I'd much rather have my privacy than bust crack houses.
They're supposed to but do they? No.
What if the crack house was next door to your house?
The crack house isn't next door to my house. And if the crack house is close enough to me, I can witness it and call it in. Trust me i've lived down the road, from drug houses... these guys want NO HEAT. Usually all it takes is a call, and just the attention usually makes them pull up stakes and get out. No questions asked.
