court case
Boyd vs united states= Boyd was charged for importing more duty- free glass. the goverment took Boyd to court because they searched his office and found he was doing this on purpose but Boyd felt violated of the right to be secure from unusual search.
my scenario
John was at his house just watching his tv. Then the FBI came to his house. They said open the door, he said no. so they kicked down the door. then they started searching his house for drugs because someone said he was selling drugs. John felt he was being violated of the fourth amendment. the right from unneccesary search. so he sued them.
