[geeks] 4th Amendment Gone

[Kris Kirby]

Some of you know me well enough to know that I don't usually involve
others in my politics. It pains me to see the losses we are suffering
every day in what we assume to be our God-given rights. I strongly
encourage you to contact your congressman and let them know that this sort
of thing is not to be tolerated.

In a ruling two judges dubbed "the road to hell," a federal appeals court
opened the door for police officers in three states to search homes and
buildings for evidence without a warrant.

The 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled Thursday in a Baton Rouge case
that authorities don't need an arrest or search warrant to conduct a swift
sweep of private property to ensure their own safety.
