This is a great quote: The idea of the Fourth Amendment is not to get in the way of law enforcement and intelligence, but rather to see that they do a good job

This is a great quote:
The idea of the Fourth Amendment is not to get in the way of law enforcement and intelligence, but rather to see that they do a good job by having to prove at each step of the way that they know what they’re doing, that they’re not off running down hunches and going off on wild goose chases and witch hunts.
- a3n 13y agoActually I think the idea of the 4th is to get in the way of law enforcement and the government, insofar as that obstacle is necessary to protect the rights of the average non-suspect citizen. Not sure there's any such thing as a non-suspect citizen these days.

I'd say its more to get in the way of government insofar as that obstacle is necessary to protect the rights of the average suspect citizen, as well.
