What is Unlawful or Unreasonable Search or Seizure?
The Fourth Amendment provides that the people shall be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, and no Warrants shall issue except on probable cause, supported by sworn affidavit, and describing particularly the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Anything less than the foregoing would be an unlawful search or seizure.
