It's unconstitutional. The 4th amendment still applies. You have no authority to rule by edict.
Stasi Raus.
Es ist aus.
Unfortunately "muh constitution", while absolutely a valid argument, is one that the left has made sure to tarnish first by attacking the 2nd amendment and now the 1st amendment. They've slowly eased their voter base into the idea of benevolent dictatorship.
I don't think you grasp the other two statements that work with that.
I'm not asking the courts to rule in my favor.
"Stasi, get out! It's over."
I'm not taking no for an answer. I'm not asking the courts to rule correctly, they either do, or the rest of us act correctly for them.
The Constitution remains, whether or not the state enforces it is a different problem. Whether we, or even I, enforce it is the correct question.
What does unlawful searches and seizures have to do with lockdowns? If you were to argue the lockdowns were unconstitutional, surely it'd be on the basis of the 1st amendment's right to assemble.
Unlawful detention. The government has seized your person, and with tracing apps is unlawfully surveiling your movements.
The government is effectively placing you under house arrest without probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion. They are then fining and arresting you for violations of that unlawful detention.
It's not just peaceful assembly. That's for groups. I'm talking about your right to freely travel without being detained. You're not 'assembling' if you simply choose to go for a drive or walk. You're being detained if the government is forcing you to stop.
Ah, I see. My mind is going to the law of groups larger than X people or containing members of Y households.
It's in violation of the 1st amendment, not the 4th. If lock downs were attempted at the federal level, then they would probably be in violation of the 10th amendment as well.
I see this as government seizure of a person via house arrest. That's why I claim the 4th amendment. They unlawfully detaining a person without probable cause.
