Unreasonable Search Warrants Should Be Worn

Improved Essays
Invasion? Imagine walking home from school and finding your door unlocked. You find an officer searching through your personal belongings. You ask the officer for the search warrant and he or she says that they don’t have one. Won’t you feel stalked because an officer is searching through your personal belongings? People shouldn’t invade others’ privacy because it makes others’ feel afraid, identities could be stolen, and search warrants are needed. Someone invading your home may make you feel unsafe or uneasy. Feeling afraid all the time can cause someone to be delusional. A delusion is when someone may think something is there, but it really isn’t there. Many have experienced this because of home invasions. Don’t make others’ feel frightened. …show more content…
Search warrants allow officers to search a home, but without it, they are not allowed to take such measures. The 4th amendment even states that, “Unreasonable searches cannot be made”. So why do officers feel the need to search homes? The only reason is if the individual is guilty of a crime. Many may feel that people have the right to just walk into your home because they are taking a legal action. They don’t realize that a search warrant is needed and they don’t realize that many feel afraid because it may seem like a robbery of some sort. A robbery is like someone taking your food from your plate, wouldn’t you feel the anger? People get angry because of the fact they might have their identities stolen by someone they probably don’t even know. So let this be a lesson, this teaches us that nobody should even have to be anxious of an invasion of privacy. Overall, feeling unsafe may harm someone’s health. Stalkers can and will steal someone’s identity. Officers will need a search warrant as well. People do not possess the right to violate your home or privacy. The Freedom from interference with privacy, family, home, and correspondence should be enforced. People shouldn’t have to live out their lives
