The Fourth Amendment guarantees the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures — a guarantee that the founding generation understood as the constitutional barrier between the citizen and the general warrant, between the individual and a government empowered to search at will. Today that guarantee faces its greatest challenge in history: a government equipped with digital surveillance tools of unprecedented power, a third-party doctrine that threatens to swallow the privacy protection its replacement was designed to secure, and courts struggling to apply eighteenth-century text to twenty-first-century technology.
The Fourth Amendment Warrior: The Complete Guide to Search, Seizure, Digital Privacy, and the Fight Against Warrantless Government Surveillance is Volume IX of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series — the complete practitioner's guide to the search and seizure doctrine that every criminal defense lawyer, civil liberties litigator, and privacy advocate must command.
Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the full Fourth Amendment landscape from Katz to Carpenter: the warrant requirement and every exception; the third-party doctrine and its post-Carpenter erosion; cell phone privacy after Riley; GPS and location data surveillance; the stingray device and cell site simulator Fourth Amendment issues; geofence warrants; DNA collection; biometric data; facial recognition; smart home devices; digital search warrants and cross-border data access; the suppression motion practice that turns Fourth Amendment doctrine into acquittals; and the civil litigation framework for challenging unconstitutional surveillance programs.
For every lawyer who believes the Fourth Amendment still means something in the digital age — and for every client who deserves to know their constitutional limits on what government can know — this is the essential guide.
