The difference is A WARRANT.
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.

What country does this successfully? And making the bill of rights relevant to the entire world means violent adversaries are apparently not a concern.
