This story out of Utah is a wonderful example of just how meaningless the 4th amendment is these days:


Milne said it used to take hours to obtain a search warrant, but now with the the ability to apply for an electronic search warrant, officers can obtain warrant within 20-30 minutes.
He said officers used to find a judge to sign the warrant, but now they apply for it digitally, and a rotating shift of judges will review it any time of day. This change is one of the reasons Milne said he thinks police have an easier time catching students with illicit drugs.
"A lot of the drug arrests that you're seeing started with the odor of marijuana, which gives us probable cause," Milne said. "In the old days where it may have been too time consuming to apply for a warrant, now within 20 minutes or so the officer has the search warrant, is knocking on the door, is serving the search warrant, and we're finding those drugs."

Before signing a search warrant that gives today's paramilitary police the right to enter a citizen's home and search his belongings, wouldn't you like to think that the judge would have a number of questions to ask? That the tendency of the judiciary is to protect people's rights, rather than to abrogate them?
