The Fourth Amendment is an Awesome Freedom
Let us take the time out and genuinely say a big thank you to our Forefathers for establishing the Constitution. If it was not for them and their devout persistence towards such an amazing cause, many of us would more than likely be in a bad way or for some, an even far much worse way. On a lighter note before proceeding, here is a little snippet of encouragement to the ones in the struggle, let’s be glad to even exist and remember, as long as there is breath in your body, that means there is still life, which in turn, represents hope. You’re situations will get better! Keep fighting the good fight like our Forefathers. Way to go guys!
The Fourth Amendment rocks, in the opinion of many people because it allows the freedom of privacy to all civil people across the United States. Meaning that we can have the freedom and privacy, we all so deserve within our homes, to which we consider peaceful, a resting place to whence one can truly be oneself be it amongst families and friends. Not only does this Amendment cover that but also ourselves as an individual. -Meaning having personal space and boundaries for each individual will magnify the notion of freedoms given.
The Amendment also covers personal belongings such as papers we own and so on, since this is the twenty-first century, the awesome age of technology, our computers, Android phones, personal videos, and the list goes on and on, are all considered to be of your own property and protected as well. Yay!
For example, if you took your personal journal out to the mall and sat down in the food court to jot down some desired dreams and wants in detail, then you could do so, fully knowing that under the Fourth Amendment you have the right to do so and no one can force you to hand it over. That is, UNLESS (L.O.L), that particular journal consists of precise instructions on how you and your friends successfully committed a bank robbery two weeks from last Tuesday or some other forms of criminal information pertaining and or leading way to devious crimes. If that were the case then you can just sing, "bye, bye, bye!" like the former boy band, N’Sync to your personal rights until further notice. Blah, blah, blah yeah I know I know you did not do it. ROTFL! This is how the cookie crumbles, until and or unless proven "not guilty" by the Court of Law.
Its, nice to know that we are in our right minds and can determine rather or not someone if someone is in a public place but is bluntly obvious that they are seeking or is in a mode of privacy. For example when two people in love are going out to a restaurant and reserve a table for two in the most secluded area possible. It is informed that their special request is available and thusly granted. Away they go! Off into the dining room sunset, to sit in sheer bliss while the waiter re-fills their empty Martini glasses. (Clearing throat.) In a nutshell, gang, the Fourth Amendment allows us this kind of privacy inside a public place as well.
Now, hang on, hang on folks! Calm down, and wait just a minuet. Yes, the lovely couple is in a “public area” but they have the right for privacy yet still at least to a certain extent. How is that? One might ask…. It is like this, when it comes to a situation like this or many similar to this; it is the judgment of most people to then exercise common curtsey. Or in other words, display a morsel of common sense to see that the lovely couple wants to OBVIOUSLY be alone and so, it would be naturally in ones best interest to i.e. leave them alone…? Chuckle, chuckle, and smile.
Ahh, etiquette of common sense, to which seems to be rapidly fading fast within the country. Having said that, let us bring our attention to the glassy eyed people known as the “Paparazzi”. Several of them (although not all) haven’t got an ounce of common sense when it comes to honoring the invisible boundaries of respecting ones privacy, even IF it is in fact in an open environment and EVEN when the person may be considered famous (on any level). Atlas;” Cheers!” to the ones who still exercise this.
Prime example of someone “famous” being bombarded by paparazzi was when the rapper Eminem (Marshall Mathers) was eating at a public restaurant with his daughter; Hailey. It was there when he transformed into a werewolf when the paparazzi painfully overstepped their “common curtsy” boundaries. Then so, yes, yes he had the RIGHT to get angry because they took it to the extreme. Hey I know we all got to eat (pun intended) but there’s just a respect thing I think some of these paparazzi goons need to abide by to make both sticky situations all bit more bearable. Re-reading the Fourth Amendment is something that the extreme paparazzi should exercise. A requirement calisthenics class in “common curtsey” during the course of their stint in the scrambling “profession” wouldn’t hurt them at all neither.
