Fourth Amendment (United States Constitution …

Posted: November 3, 2014 at 2:49 pm

Fourth Amendment,amendment (1791) to the Constitution of the United States, part of the Bill of Rights, that forbids unreasonable searches and seizures of individuals and property. For the text of the Fourth Amendment, see below.

Introduced in 1789, what became the Fourth Amendment struck at the heart of a matter central to the early American experience: the principle that, within reason, Every mans house is his castle, and that any citizen may fall into the category of the criminally accused and ought to be provided protections accordingly. In U.S. constitutional law, the Fourth Amendment is the foundation of criminal law jurisprudence, articulating both the rights of persons and the responsibilities of law-enforcement officials. The balance between these two forces has undergone considerable public, political, and judicial debate. Are the amendments two clauses meant to be applied independently or taken as a whole? Is the expectation of privacy diminished depending on where and what is suspected, sought, and seized? What constitutes an unreasonable search and seizure?

The protections contained in the amendment have been determined less on the basis of what the Constitution says than according to what it has been interpreted to mean, and, as such, its constitutional meaning has inherently been fluid. The protections granted by the U.S. Supreme Court have expanded during periods when the court was dominated by liberals (e.g., during the tenure of Chief Justice Earl Warren [195369]), beginning particularly with Mapp v. Ohio (1961), in which the court extended the exclusionary rule to all criminal proceedings; by contrast, during the tenure of the conservative William Rehnquist (19862005) as chief justice, the court contracted the rights afforded to the criminally accused, allowing law-enforcement officials latitude to search in instances when they reasonably believed that the property in question harboured presumably dangerous persons.

The full text of the amendment is:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Episcopal Church in Michigan votes to crack down on gun rights

The Episcopal Church in Michigan which includes the areas of Lansing and Jackson voted to crack down on Second Amendment rights via a resolution at the 180th convention of the Episcopal Diocese.

Specifically, the resolution which passed with a large majority expresses favor for universal background checks for all gun buys and for bans on all sales of decreed semiautomatic weapons and high-impact, high-capacity ammunition and magazines, the Detroit Free Press reported. The resolution also calls to make gun trafficking a federal crime.

We stand for public policies to ban violence and assault weapons, the resolution stated, the Detroit Free Press reported. Access to guns with rapid fire ability and high capacity magazines are a common, deadly ingredient in repeated killings.

The resolution isnt policy, but it could prove influential with policy-makers. The Detroit Free Press reported that the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan was created in 1836 a fully year before the state was even established.

We work to bring Gods peace to the world, said the Rev. Chris Yaw, the rector of St. Davids Episcopal Church in Southfield, the Detroit Free Press reported. Gods kingdom is not of violence its of peace.

But critics say the resolution conflicts with the Constitutions Second Amendment.

Passing an inherently political resolution does absolutely nothing to proclaim the glory of God and bring new people to the pews of churches, said Dennis Lennox, a member of St. Johns Episcopal Church in Detroit, the Detroit Free Press reported. I wish churches would focus on being a house of prayer for all people, instead of becoming extensions of political movements and parties.

Cryptocurrency Round-Up: Bitcoin Mining Supercomputers and Syscoin Push Forward Kennedy Case

Posted: at 2:47 pm

The price of bitcoin continues to languish around the $330 mark as cryptocurrency markets stabilise(IBTimes UK)

After a turbulent weekend that saw bitcoin's price fluctuate between $350 and $320, the world's most valuable cryptocurrency has settled back to its late-October levels.

All other major altcoins saw little market movement over the last 24 hours, with litecoin, dogecoin, peercoin, namecoin and darkcoin all shifting by less than 2%.

Cannacoin, the digital currency dedicated to developing and creating innovative new technology for the cannabis industry, saw the biggest movement of any cryptocurrency, surging by 46% since yesterday to take its market capitalisation above $50,000.

Bitcoin mining manufacturer Bitcoin Brothers is launching a cloud-based mining service that it claims uses supercomputers with processing capabilities of over 6 petahash.

It is hoped that the advanced processing power will help reduce mining costs and increase profit margins.

Recent bitcoin price falls have meant that mining the cryptocurrency has become an increasingly cost inefficient process for many mining firms.

"To put our machines in perspective, on the common LINPACK Rpeak and Rmax benchmarks each of our MSEMs outperform the world's fastest supercomputers," Thomas Ackermann, chief technology officer at Bitcoin Brothers, said in a statement.

"We basically have a business model in different stages. The first stage is selling people services for bitcoin mining. People can rent portions of the machines starting at gigahashes, terahashes up to petahashes."

Customers unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies who wish to frequent the caf will be shown how to operate a bitcoin ATM or paper wallet printer that have been installed in the space.
