Bill of Rights and Fourteenth Amendment essa
The American Government wants the people of the United States to believe that the Bill of rights and the fourteenth Amendment are a protection of the people. The Government, even though they have been brought to trial numerous times do to a failure to follow the amendments, still claim that they are still a protection. This could be true if we as the people look at it the other way, we may notice how much worse it could be. For example, if in a case where someone was searched illegally without a warrant and bombs were found on them and directions to a big corporation. Wouldn't we as people except this they are protecting us, yes the search was illegal but if they had not hundreds of innocent people would loose there family and friends in an instant. The government does make mistakes maybe searching someone without a warrant is wrong but if the necessity to search them at that time was great enough then yes they are protecting us. In all fact yes the bill of rights are a protection. One more thing the fourteenth amendment protects the people to if say Japan bombed us again under that amendment the government could not single out Japanese and hold them in camps. Yes, they did this before but it was out of fear. Say you had f
our ferrets one of them bites you and you are rushed to get stitches wouldn't you hold the others or watch them more carefully even though they did not bite you. The bill of rights and the fourteenth amendment are a protection of the people's rights. The fourth amendment shows a protection of the people and again how the bill of rights is a protection. The forth amendment states proper search and procedure, for example you cannot get searched without a warrant. In the case of New Jersey v. T.L.O. proves the protection of the fourteenth amendment. T.L.O. was caught by a teacher in the bathroom smoking and taken to the principal. The principal proceeded to search through T.L.O. purse for the cigarettes she claimed not to have. While searching he found the cigarettes and a lighter among these things he found marijuana, rolling papers, a pipe, and a list of names which could have been who she dealed to. T.L.O claimed she was illegally searched and that the evidence could not be used in court. The question is can the school search under probable cause or do they have to be like the police and search under probable cause with a warrant, or even given permission by that person. The court said that school could search under probable cause without warrant or permission to protect order in school. To show how this protects a police officer could not search through your car without a warrant plain and simple but if your at school and for some probable cause a student is suspected of having a gun or something of the sort, then yes their rights should be removed because they can be a harm to others at school. T.L.O would loose the case of course but even though she thought she had been illegally searched the school was doing there part and protecting the student body and order in the school. For example say they did not search her and the list of names was people who owed her money. She could have even brought a gun to harm that person. So yes the government did the right thing and still protects us with it. Yes, you could argue she still had no right to be searched after the cigarettes were found and this would be
