Technology, Changing our lives

 
 
The 21st century was never predicted to be what it is by our founding fathers. The truth is nobody ever expected our country to come down to the way we see it today. Computers and technology are now part of our daily lives. We've come upon to depend on them to function and to live. Today in airports and other facilities we all must go through a metal detector or have someone pass over us a hand-held detector. Who would've thought that we'd ever have such a thing like hidden cameras, or motion sensors? Nobody expected it, but now its part of us. The fourth amendment protects us as citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures. Probable cause and warrants must be issued before entering a civilian's home. However the bill of rights was written in 1787, that's almost 200 years ago. Do the same principles and understandings still apply today?More Exceptions than rules? Justice Lewis Powel
 
 


These types of warrant less searches are only allowed with probable cause, but what is enough probable cause to a certain individual? Are some people not more suspicious than others? With the numerous drug OD's and child shootings, we as Americans should take drastic and meaningful measures to combat our grave situation. " Some of the cases being presented before our judges today seem unreasonable and confusing. We should change and modify our laws according to our situation, to the best interest of the public and safety of our lives. For instance, the stop and frisk procedure taken by law enforcement was in fact considered to be a search and seizure within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Since the 4th Amendment only applies to "unreasonable searches and seizures", the issue of defining a search and seizure falls upon it. "If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about. Did the people who wrote the fourth amendment take these things into account?Due process- requirement that the government be fair in its actionsOur courts today must uphold due process when dealing with the 4th amendment. Our situation has gotten out of hand, and our 4th amendment rights are not helping us keep on top of the situation. Isn't that something worth doing?. Guns and drugs are a big problem to our country and being in the safety of your house may not always prove effective against law-enforcement. Not give-up our rights, but enforce them on law-breaking civilians. Is that not logical? If we enforce our search and seizure laws we'd be doing this country a favor and strengthening our very own safety. Some of the things we have today would've shocked and scared the hell out of the people who wrote the fourth amendment. They find themselves making exceptions to the fourth amendment. However, what if this is used against the greater good? Criminals can easily set up plans and use technology to their advantage. Some topics in this essay:
