The Buckeye Institute in Brief to Court: Governments Cannot Create Fourth Amendment-Free Zones
The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Johnson v. Smith, calling on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to stop the government from conducting warrantless searches of Americans’ homes and businesses. “Our Founding Fathers were well aware of the risks inherent in warrantless and unreasonable government searches of private homes and businesses…In Johnson v. Smith, the court has another opportunity to tell government officials that they cannot create Fourth Amendment-free zones through oppressive regulatory schemes.”
