Reply #43: What is Reasonable?

[SoCalifer]

Well, we can again look to the 4th Amendment to see if there's any clarification, and yes there is some there.

In the 4th Amendment you see it state "......and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation......"

So what we see here is the Constitution telling us that before a "Reasonable" search and/or seizure may take place; a warrant must be issued, and before a warrant can be issued, there must be evidence showing probable cause of guilt.


I hope I am not offending you in anyway Freddie Stubbs. My only intent here is to try and clearify what it is that I read when I read the Constitution, and how I place pieces of it into context after I have read all of it..... Well, most of it anyway. And after also having read most of the federalist papers.

And it seems to me that today these documents written by our founding fathers are just as radical with many people today, as they were back when they were written..

Not that I think that you think they are radical.. That's just a general statment.. :)
