"The problem with capitalism is eventually there's nothing left to take" - rsilvergun.

I write pithy nonsensical things that don't actually mean anything too. Can I run the UK for 11 years? I couldn't possibly do worse than Thatcher.

A search of your house was never a violation of your 5th amendment rights.
You are still protected by the 4th amendment, and a warrant would be required, as it is for a blood draw or forcing you to unlock your phone.

In this particular instance, the police concluded that existing authorization from the defendant's parole allowed it. The court agreed.
There was never any 5th amendment concern brought up, because it doesn't fucking apply, by any stretch of the (reasonable) imagination.

Of course not. You are protected against unreasonable search and seizure. A warrant would absolutely be required, just as it is for the police to collect your blood.

That's certainly an angle you could argue, but it's a very loose one, particularly since brain scans that can extract information do not exist.
However, it is an undeniable fact right now, that your stored data is physical evidence. No different than you having written something down.

Stored data is physical evidence.
Passwords are different because they're in your head. They're something you can know (and forget).
Only constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure protect you from access to physical data.

5th amendment protects against compelled confession. It does not protect you from the collection of physical evidence, including your biometrics (or even your blood in the case of DUIs and such)

The warrant is because you are protected against unreasonably search and seizure. Has nothing to do with self-incrimination.

Your invented legal theories are meaningless. You have no right to deny the Government physical evidence. What a wonderful criminal world that would be.

so he's going to be opposed to Democratic values by default. You can't join the ruling class and support democracy. And they learned their lesson from FDR, they're not gonna let something like that happen again.

How many accounts will be in the name of Mr. Fook Yoo and Mrs. Nona Yobiz.

I wish I had your self-confidence..."nope...nothing wrong with me, it's ALL OF REDDIT that's the issue!" "I'm perfect the way I am, it's the entire world that needs to change to accommodate me"

I post on hobby subreddits and the ones for my local community and find it's the most valuable online resource since Wikipedia. For example, look up any product review and add "reddit" to it and you'll get real discussions from real people....to a surprising degree. You'd think it would be much more infiltrated with spam and insincere paid reviews, but the mods are very good at stopping those, as annoying as they can be.

For example, search for a power drill model and you'll see a lot of honest reviews and people saying how they like it and how it compares to others on the market. I happen to be into power tool storage as I have a small space and a futilic hope that somehow I can utilize that small space and find things without selling a bunch of things toolboxes which will help me find things by some dark magic bending the laws of physics and reality. It's a space that has had a lot of activity, interest, and innovation in the last 10 years and there's a lot of discussion....almost all helpful. I can post on power tool forums and get honest answers as well as fair upvoting. For my hobby subreddits, I've learned a lot more from the redditors than any professional author, blogger, or magazine. So while I don't like every detail of the experience, for that reason alone, I keep coming back and learning more and more. Also my local subreddit for my city is quite nice and informative.

Yeah, if you want to rant about feminists, liberals, cancel-culture, "political correctness" or whatever assholes are ranting about these days, you'll get downvoted very quickly.

What is suspect is most people with negative experiences in Reddit fall into one of 2 categories...either pessimists who see annoyances and can't get past them. Yeah, the car detailing subreddit is run by assholes and unhelpful for getting questions answered, for example. I disliked my experience there, but recognize for every shithole subreddit, there are 10 that have been amazing.

The second category is just people who are either contrarians or jerks and aren't used to feedback.

People online call themselves "conservatives" or "heterodoxy" when they honestly have little in common with textbook conservatives beyond being annoyed with or disliking liberals and optimists. They attach the label "conservative" to give their contrarian nature some legitimacy, but they don't actually believe in anything or have positive beliefs, they just like shitting on people left of the spectrum....mostly strawmen "wokesters" who don't really exist outside social media and have no real power or influence in the real world.

Basically, you're annoying to the rest of us...and probably most people who even agree with you. You're a repellent person and people are saying so. When I post something here or on reddit and it gets massively downvoted, I don't think "they're all adolescents or woke fools or cry out 'cancel culture'"...I think either "A: I didn't communicate my opinion very well if so many people find it objectionable" or "B: maybe I'm an asshole?" Have you ever considered that maybe you were the problem? Perhaps you're so used to people just tolerating you...figuring it's easier to just let you rant in person than correct you or tell you they wish you'd go away? Sometimes it hurts getting honest feedback, but that's part of "free speech"...the freedom for your audience to tell you "You suck!" or "I just don't care about whatever you're going on about."

That's literally what the 5th amendment was written to prevent- compelled confession: "nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself"
You're trying to equate preventing police from obtaining evidence with compelled confession. That's either disingenuous, or stupid. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and call it the latter.

to evade SEO spam. Google needs to do something about it or they'll be irrelevant in a few years tops.

Your thumbprint is not a password though.
Just as a Judge can compel you to give blood to look for evidence of a charge of intoxication, they can compel you to give your thumbprint to look for evidence for the charge of X.

The fuck? If you leave things in public view, police don't even need a damn warrant to use it.

Not even remotely.

The spirit of the 5th amendment is to prevent the Government from compelling you to be a witness against yourself.
Broadly, it meant "no, you can't torture someone until they confess."
Today's meaning has expanded quite a bit past the original spirit, but it's still nowhere near what you think it is.

Never did it mean, "you have the right to keep the Government away from physical evidence"

No, it is not.
Trying to keep physical evidence from the police is not testimony.

You have no such right.
You have a right against self-incrimination. You do not have a right to obstruct justice.
