One of the problems with even suggesting that purpose of a Federal law is for law enforcement officers to assist in protecting the public outside their jurisdictions is that it may give them encouragement or even a sense of obligation to do so.

Violating the 4th Amendment guarantees against illegal searches and seizures is not the way to solve crime problems.

So great moreover is the regard of the law for private property, that it will not authorize the least violation of it; no, not even for the general good of the whole community.

We cannot lightly allow the perpetrator of a serious crime to go free simply because that person believed his actions were reasonable and necessary to prevent some perceived harm.

And it is no less true, that personal security and private property rest entirely upon the wisdom, the stability, and the integrity of the courts of justice.

The Constitution defends all of us against unreasonable search and seizure. What constitutes reasonableness depends upon threat.

Obama's respect for the Constitution does not apply to protections against unreasonable search and seizure, as Obama's deeply intrusive National Security Agency programs prove.

Property that endangers the safety of a nation should not be suffered to remain in the hands of its citizens.

I wish to note that intellectual property theft by a government represents the very essence of organized crime.

Our economic freedom is founded on individual property rights; government should never be permitted to take those away.
