    This includes the private residences of subcontractors and contractors who run businesses out of their homes

    Even more crazy is that you can’t tell anyone you’ve been raided, including seeking or talking to legal counsel.

    So you technically are denied legal counsel if you are targeted by a blatently unconstitutional search.

    And it’s legal for them to destroy any incriminating records that they want at any time.

    Unlimited power to target whoever they want and no legal recourse.

    Welcome to Germany 1935.

      This law is categorically unconstitutional. It is a prima facie contradiction of multiple specific amendments in the bill of rights. This will certainly be thrown out - even hard-right judges won’t be able to justify this. It’s clearly not reasonable in the slightest.

        I dunno about that, Supreme Court looking pretty right wing lately

          The SC wants to maintain the roots of their power. Undercutting certain parts of the constitution does the opposite of that, because it implies others can do the same in areas they don’t want touched.

        They don’t have to justify anything any more. You should stop pretending the constitution matters.
