Instead, it provides a right to be secure. To be true to the text of the Fourth Amendment, government action that interferes with the people&#8217;s right to feel secure should be held to violate the Fourth Amendment. Because government practice [insert example here] gives the government so much power, it interferes with the People&#8217;s right to be secure against the government and violates the Fourth Amendment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>An example of scholarship that I take to be making this kind of argument is Jed Rubenfeld&#8217;s article, The End of Privacy, 61 Stan. L. Rev. 101 (2009), although I mention that just as one example.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t find the \u201cright to be secure\u201d\u00a0argument persuasive, and I thought I would say why.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LawFare: The Fourth Amendment Doesn&#8217;t Recognize a General &#8220;Right to be Secure&#8221; by Orin Kerr:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30322"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30322\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30323,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30322\/revisions\/30323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
