    Actually, you will find that, at least according to the way all the courts approach the issue, a right to privacy is secured by the 4th Amendment, in restricting the government's authority to search.

    There are MANY, MANY cases on this. Here's a neat keyword to search: "Curtilage." Do a Google search on "search curtilage privacy."

      Are you kidding guy? Did you even READ the article? Of COURSE the 4th amendment restricts government to protect your right to privacy, but like Browne wrote so clearly, the SOURCE of your rights is not the government, and its not the constitution either. Go ahead cite your court cases who the hell cares. Anytime I hear that I think Dred Scott anyone? Or how about Raich? Judges and lawyers are nothing more than political hacks.
