I totally support that. There's a difference between "need a warrant" and "squirreled away where a warrant can't even get it". I think needing a warrant is a sane middle ground, but I also thinkg requiring things be accessible by warrant is also a sane middle ground.

Huh? Like you aren’t allowed to bury something in your backyard if you want? What’s that about?

I am pretty sure that a court could order your backyard to be excavated if it believed something important buried there.

That said, hiding evidence from law enforcement/money from the tax authorities is a crime anyways, regardless of where you hide it.

Actually, no they are not, generally.

There is no duty to provide evidence of a crime to law enforcement in the US, anyway - merely to comply with warrants or the like, if issued. There is a difference.

It is also not illegal to hide money - just illegal to not pay taxes due. There is also a difference there too.

Warrants cover everything in the U.S. I'm referring more to people that shove their money into offshore accounts designed to be hard to locate and examine. Think the cayman islands, the panama papers, etc. Physical money already has to be declared if over a threshold and moved across borders, and I don't have a problem with any amount of cash kept wherever locally. If it's illegal in some way there are methods to find it.

The goal isn't to lock all money down and infringe on personal rights, it's to keep it from being hidden and untaxed en masse by many very rich entities.

> opinion

others have had this opinion, and it's short and sweet:

  Fourth Amendment

  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.

This was meant as a joke regardimg the media discourse obsessing over basically the first 2 amendments and ignoring the rest. I'm particularly disturbed by the post 9/11 disregard for the 4th amendmemt. Three hop surveilance is an abomination.

I'm a big fan of the entire bill of rights and believe in their interpretation as concrete, specific and personal. This includes the 2nd.

It's funny how Americans keep parroting this nonsense while their liberties are constantly and arbitrarily abused by their government all the time, despite being armed to the teeth.

Things would have to get really bad for enough people before another revolution is the most logical answer. I don't know why you think owning a gun means wanting to use it. Someone who isn't a sociopath would look for every reason not to.

That's a good point.

2A is a last measure. I’m glad it’s that way.
