The Bill of Rights and Me

The U.S. Bill of Rights is important to me because they are written fairly and meant for all, but sometimes some amendments have limitations like most things. Such as the 1st amendment, I can't just walk into a store and yell "Fire!" or something similar. You can not say anything that'll cause chaos or that'll end up with people getting hurt.

The 4th amendment doesn't allow a police to search your car when they stop you for speeding because without a warrant that is signed by a judge, that says what they're looking for and your exact location. This isn't allowed because if police could do this without a warrant they could stop you for whatever reason they wanted and just search you car for nothing in particular.

With addition to the 4th amendment a police officer cannot preform an unreasonable search and seizure because if they could they could search your home when your not around or even break into your car or into your house and look for random things. To some people this is really important because they could be in possession of objects the police might find illegal.

We have the 5th amendment to prevent people from going to court multiple times for the same crime because if we go to trial over and over for the same crime eventually we will be tossed in jail. This is unfair because once we have been proved not guilty due to whatever reason it may be that means that the charges should be dropped and there shouldn't be any reason to revisit that episode in your life again.
