No. It can't be anyway, right?
They could repeal it with another Amendment.
It can also be parsed legally by court decisions establishing the manner the state may search or seizure property and persons. It's gotten a little overboard on these, but the usual problem is citizens not knowing and then asserting their own rights when cops abuse them.
Simple.
Hell no it shouldn't be modified. We should leave the Bill of Rights EXACTLY the way the Founding Fathers put it in there!
This Amendment was put in there for a reason. There should be no reason that anybody should need or want to modify the wording of it. It plainly states that unless there is "probable cause" the right of the people against "UNREASONABLE searches and seizures shall not be violated." That's simple enough.
Personally, I think that if some cops find a meth lab and bust it, the 4th Amendment rights of the property owner were not violated because the cops had probable cause. They knew a crime was being committed there so they ended that crime. That is not unreasonable.
My opinion though.
Only if you want to be a career criminal would you even think of changing the wording.
