Unreasonable searches and seizures???

Thanks to a couple of backwater judges in Louisiana, the Fourth Amendment is now null and void. Here is what's happening in New Orleans: bq. It's a groundbreaking court decision that legal experts say will affect everyone: Police officers in Louisiana no longer need a search or arrest warrant to conduct a brief search of your home or business. Here is the text: bq. Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. To continue from the article in the New Orleans Channel bq. The decision was made by the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Two dissenting judges called it the "road to Hell." This will go to the supremes and these little boys will get their pee-pees whacked. It will be interesting to follow the future (if any) legal careers of these mis-guided twits...
