Law.com: "The Justices tend to find a violation if they can imagine the search applying to them personally"

FourthAmendment.com - News - Sat, 2026-05-09 14:47

Law.com: The Court and the Fourth Amendment; The Justices tend to find a violation if they can imagine the search applying to them personally by Erwin Chemerinsky:

I long have believed that the best predictor of whether the U.S. Supreme Court finds a violation of the Fourth Amendment is whether the justices could imagine it happening to them. For example, the Supreme Court upheld drug-testing requirements in every case until it considered a Georgia law that required that high-level government officials be subjected to it. The two Fourth Amendment decisions this term, U.S. v. Jones and Florence v. Board of Chosen Freeholders of Burlington County, powerfully illustrate that the justices only seem to care if it could happen to them.
