HELP ME FOR BRAINLISTI The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The Fourth Amendment protects the people from the government's or law enforcement's unnecessary search and seizure. The term "search" can refer to many actions: a search of a suspect's home or computer, a DNA test or a police officer frisking citizens. “Seizure” is when the government takes an individual's possession. Items that the government seizes can be used as evidence in a case against a suspect. “Seizure” also used to refer the government taking possession of an individual.

The main principle of this amendment is that any citizen may be accused of a crime by the state, so the state must ensure their legal protection. The amendment prevents the police and courts from using illegally obtained evidence. It allows for limits on police when they are investigating a crime. But there are certain types of searches that citizens aren't protected against by the Fourth Amendment. For instance, schools can search students' lockers for evidence of a crime even though a student may consider that locker their "property."
