What is considered a seizure of property?

Seizure is when the government or its agent removes property from an individual's possession following unlawful activity or to satisfy a judgment entered by the court.

Does the 4th Amendment protect property?

Property rights are still protected by the Amendment, however. A seizure of property can occur when there is some meaningful interference with an individual's possessory interests in that property, and regardless of whether there is any interference with the individual's privacy interest.

FAQ

Because this case was the rallying banner for what would eventually become the Fourth Amendment, it only makes sense that the term “houses” would be interpreted to include businesses as well as homes.

Seizure is when the government or its agent removes property from an individual's possession following unlawful activity or to satisfy a judgment entered by the court.

The Fourth Amendment states that “no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause.” This means that any search and seizure conducted without a warrant has the potential to be unconstitutional.

Amendments: In-text citation: (U.S. Const. amend. IV). OR Amendment IV of the U.S. Constitution ... In-text example: The U.S. Constitution protects people from unreasonable searches by the government (U.S. Const. amend. IV).

The Fourth Amendment has two basic clauses. One focuses on the reasonableness of a search and seizure; the other, on warrants. One view is that the two clauses are distinct, while another view is that the second clause helps explain the first.

Further, warrantless seizure of abandoned property, or of properties on an open field do not violate Fourth Amendment, because it is considered that having expectation of privacy right to an abandoned property or to properties on an open field is not reasonable.

Property rights are still protected by the Amendment, however. A “seizure” of property can occur when there is some meaningful interference with an individual's possessory interests in that property, and regardless of whether there is any interference with the individual's privacy interest.

In Mapp v. Ohio (1961), the Supreme Court ruled that the Fourth Amendment applies to the states by way of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Generally, a person has no reasonable expectation of privacy for property and personal effects they hold open to the public. The Fourth Amendment does not protect things that are visible or in "plain view" for a person of ordinary and unenhanced vision.

To establish probable cause, an officer must have far more than a “feeling” or even reasonable suspicion that a person may have committed a crime. For example, a cop would not be exercising probable cause if they said “I just had a hunch that this person was hiding an illicit substance in their console.”
