4TH Amendement

"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."

The 4th amendement explains that no officers are allowed to search anyones property unless they have a warrant that has been approved by court and that the court know what is it that they are looking for. This amendement relates alot to racial profiling because many people officers disobey this amendement and pullin over someone and searching them for no reason is the same thing as searching someones home with no warrant.
