U.S. Supreme Court Limits Police Power To Enter Homes With No Warrant
Martin Walsh August 17, 2021
The U.S. Constitution has been in the spotlight for years now, and debates surrounding certain amendments continue to rage.
Conservatives have been worried about Joe Biden and Democrats’ plan to chip away at the Constitution.
Thankfully, they just got a big win from the Supreme Court.
The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a so-called exception to the Fourth Amendment called “community caretaking” does not permit police officers to enter and search your home without first obtaining a search warrant, even if doing so could be in the public’s interest.
In the case Caniglia v. Strom, Edward Caniglia sued after his home was searched by warrantless police officers in 2015.
During that search, police seized two firearms, which Caniglia recovered only after jumping through numerous bureaucratic hoops.
Caniglia later sued law enforcement, arguing their actions violated his Fourth Amendment right against a warrantless search and seizure.
