Private Property

The fourth amendment is about private property. Some people do not like anybody going through their things and some people do not care. The 4th amendment states about how you are not able to search someone else 's property unless you have a warrant. People should have a warrant.

If you have to go through someone else 's property, then you need a warrant. If the court decides that your case is acceptable they can give you a warrant, but if you just want to search someone 's property because you want to,they will not let you do that.

If someone does not allow you to touch their things it is probably because it is special to them or to someone else.They also could call the police. Another reason is because you could get arrested and the person going onto the property could not be very nice so you should need a warrant to search someone else’s property.
“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.”

I get why people say they should not need a warrant because when someone walks onto someone 's property they can just say no or please go, but it would be easier for the person to just ask for a warrant and if they do not have one they should tell them to go away.

When someone walks onto your property and they do not have the right to be there they would need a warrant because they might not know them. They also could have told them to go away already so they should ask for a warrant the first time and if they do not have one they should not come back and if they come back again they should call the police because they might keep coming
