The US Supreme Court has has an antagonistic relationship to the forth amd fifth amendments to the Constitution of the United States since before I was a kid in the 1970s since they often interfered with efforts to round up nonwhites. But after the 9/11 attacks and the PATRIOT ACT, SCOTUS has been shredding both amendments with carve-out exceptions.
Then Law Enforcement uses tech without revealing it in court, often lying ( parallel reconstruction ) to conceal questionable use, and the courts give them the benefit of the doubt.

if you’re talking about the supreme court, they’re long past pretending they give the slightest fuck about the bill of rights.

“The fourth amendment means what we say it means” – SCOTUS, probably.
