    Default What Does it Mean to Waive Your Fourth Amendment Rights

    In order to avoid a felony, I gave up my 4th Amendment rights. What does this amount to? I realize the cops don't need a warrant to search my car or home. However, if my home is owned by my parents, does this still apply? Also if and when pulled over does this auto show up like a warrant does? Is this something the cops would have to do extra to look into. Please respond only with direct answers to questions. I do not need advice to seek counsel or obey the law. Thank you.

    What it amounts to is that you probably gave the cops enough information to get you convicted and maybe sent to jail for a while.

    But without more details I don't know what else to tell you.

    What your saying is not relevant. It was part of the deal after the fact. So if you don't know then just let the ? pass you by.

    The deal was offered in court. If I sign something rather that says I give up my 4th amen. rights for the future, they will not pursue the felony...So back to original ?

    Your original post left out so much that it is nigh on impossible to decipher what is going on. You are going to have to deal with questions seeking clarification. Don't like it? Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

    What you are saying makes no sense. Courts don't simply ask defendants to waive their 4th Amendment rights in perpetuity. Were your convicted/pled guilty and placed on probation, subject to home visits/searches? If so, that is a normal part of probation. Anywhere you live is subject to such searches, though they may be limited only to areas of the dwelling you have access to.

    You need to learn how to express yourself in writing.

    Let's see if I have this straight now.

    You were charged with a felony.

    You were offered a plea bargain where you pled guilty to a misdemeanor in exchange for not being prosecuted for the felony.

    If I've got that right, what does that have to do with giving up your 4th amendment rights? Maybe you can explain your situation and what your concern is.

    I said the facts that were relevant to my ? Telling me that I told the cops too much is presumptuous and being an ass as well. The question again is simply this. I gave away my 4th amendment rights forever. Does that pertain to my parents home or can it pertain as you said to anywhere I live, and does this show up if and when cops pull me over? I am not really worried about it. The only reason one goes to jail is be/c they were doing something they should not have been doing or are some place they should not be. If the cops want to search my car without probable cause or a warrant, then all it really amounts to is an annoyance. I was just curious if it shows up when pulled over? But yes I pled guilty, am on probation, but those facts have nothing to do with my 4th amend rights being released forever.

    not likely, unless your punishment means being incarcerated forever.

    not true

    Well then you don't know what you are talking about. I signed the paper. Give me an ex of someone going to jail unwarranted. I guarantee you there are a billion and one people out there who have never been to jail or had anything other than a traffic violation. Criminals make up a very small % of the population, and 99% of time are guilty. The paper says in layman's terms I dont have 4th amendment rights anymore. I am simply asking does it pop up like a warrant when a cop pulls you over, and if you don't know then move on.

    Bullcrap. Your 4th Amendment rights would only be waived while on probation. You need a lawyer to review your probation paperwork cause you are seriously misunderstanding something, or being taken advantage of. My money is on the former.

    To your questions: Yes, it applies to your parents' home. Yes, the fact your are on probation will likely be relayed to the officer who stops you when they run you or if they ask you if you are on probation and say yes.

    What are those layman's terms, word for word without names? Cause you are misunderstanding something.

    You don't get to say who can or cannot reply to your posts.

    I asked my attorney while in court if this applied to the terms of my probation, which is over soon or whether it was forever. She stated forever. I have waived my 4th amend rights forever. Now does this pop up like a warrant or does it pop up like ever Tom DICK and Harry who thinks they know everything and it amounts to nothing but an argument. Fine I dont get to say who responds, but the cops and the law are annoying enough, why add to the headache with asinine responses.

    As well there would be no need to waive 4th amendment rights while on probation. That is redundant.

    Also I don't plan on driving while on probation. In my state and my probation I can and will go back to jail for just a traffic violation. To me driving on probation is not that much different than driving on a suspended license. So again if not on probation, and my rights are permanently waived will it pop up.
