Search and seizure law is grounded in protections granted to the people by our Constitution. Initially, these rights were intended to protect people from unannounced intrusions by the military or other government groups that American Colonists had suffered under British Rule. Over time, however, search and seizure law has been squarely focused on a balancing of rights between people and the government. The Supreme Court has influenced the development of this area of law by its interpretive opinions about what rights the Constitution provides and what rights the government retains.
