Question

The "war on drugs" and the "war on terror" have increasingly led to extraterritorial interrogations and detentions by U.S. law enforcement agents. Do you believe rights afforded by the Fourth Amendment should apply to individuals who encounter U.S. law enforcement agents outside of the United States?

Answer 1

Yes. The rights afforded by the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution should certainly be afforded to all people despite their citizenship. The Fourth Amendment protects personal privacy, and every citizen's right to be free from unreasonable government. However, there are cases that it might be reasonable to conduct searches in order to fight against terrorism and Narcotics
