Subject: RE: BS: Constitutional Guarantees
"There is no guaranteed right to privacy. . . ." Well, I dunno, FL.
Amendment IV
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 have heard that statement before. Granted, the word "privacy" doesn't actually appear, but when you sum up the above stipulations, that looks like a guaranteed right to privacy to me. Do you know of any legal opinions or rulings that say otherwise? I'm curious.
