Who is looking through whose posessions?
I ran into a lot of students who thought that school officials couldn't go through things in school-owned housing...but they can if they have just cause...and they can look through their dressers, under beds, etc if the furniture is school-owned. I was a resident advisor and ran into misunderstandings quite a bit.
Now, someone off the street can't just get into your house and go through your things. My guess is that they wouldn't get in trouble for going through your things, but rather for breaking and entering or unauthorized entry.
It all depends on the context...I mean, if you go into an airport, they can search your bags...there are certain situations where you waive your rights not to be searched. If you could clarify the situation you are speaking of, I could give a better answer. |

The police can do so, if you are in public and they feel they have probable cause that a crime has or is being committed.
For someone to go through your stuff, without probable cause or permission is extremely likely to be illegal.
In certain situations, you have implicitly given them the right to go through your belongings. Schools, airport terminals, and certain other places are considered special cases, under the law. |

HEY ROCK!
LET'S SEE....................WHY DON'T YOU JUST HAND ME YOUR WALLET AND YOUR HOUSE AND CAR KEYS FOR A FEW DAYS.................MAYBE YOU'LL RETHINK THAT QUESTION
In fact this is a serious BREACH of TRUST you may have with someone. It is illegal, and that is the reason that police need SEARCH WARRANTS when they wanna go thru your stuff !!!
read
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. |

It is if your a peon,if your pork its all good.Probable cause,they did have 300 excuses.Now with are new Nazi government they have over 700 excuses to search you.Freedom as we like to think of it in America is a bogus Fallacy,played out on the ignorant of the law.To top it all off they have judicial immunity,they can violate you in every way possible and are not held accountable like you and I. |
