85. most searches are made without warrants
Notwithstanding the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures and the requirement that warrants be issued only on probable cause supported by oath or affirmation, particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized, most searches take place without warrants under a variety of exceptions that the Supreme Court has carved out over the years. I have a bad feeling that the current Court wouldn't hesitate to find that chimpy's snooping falls within an existing, or newly created, exception.
