Current Event: 4th Amendment

     In this article, Maria Cortes' fourth amendment rights were violated in Arizona when she was subjected to a prolonged detention based solely on the suspicion that she was an undocumented immigrant. A lawsuit was filed on September 19th, 2014, on the 2012 traffic stop.
     This is a clear violation of the second amendment because the sheriff unlawfully arrested and detained an immigrant under Arizona's anti-immigration law. Cortes was then taken to the U.S. Border Patrol Station for five days, because she had a pending visa application. Even today, many people abuse the use of this amendment, even people in the government, such as the sheriff.
