The Fourth Amendment
"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."
The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution guard the people against unreasonable searches and seizures. The Founding Fathers came up with this amendment as a response of the writs of assistance, which was practiced by the British during the American Revolution. For instance, a cop or any other agencies can't search your house or car without a warrant. You have the right to deny the cop if they are searching from something on your property without your consent or warrant.
In my opinion, that it is violating the Fourth Amendment because the police officer has no right to search the car just because she was charged with drugs three years ago. I think police are harassing the citizens and trying to intimidate them so they have a reason to do their job.
I think it is up to the parents decision to let the police in the house to search. They can refuse to not let police in but I think it prevent crime rate in teenagers to increase, especially in dangerous neighborhood.
