Great update on 4th amendment case law.

The progressive loss of privacy explained here is unsettling for future generations who have an expectation of privacy from their 4th and 14th amendment rights.

Good Update

There were a few typos. One that I caught was talking about Mapp VS. Ohio in Chapter 11. It stated that it was decided in 1886. The case was decided in 1961. This is basically a college text book, but I can only assume that it was the narrator that kept me from zoning in and out too much.
