Congress Quietly Passed A Bill Allowing Warrantless Searches of Homes

#1

While we were distracted with Bathrooms bills, Trans in the Military, Russia, and confederate monuments, This BLATANT violation of the 4th amendment was snuck in in the middle of the night. It was all smoke and mirrors

Congress Quietly Passed A Bill Allowing Warrantless Searches of Homes - Only 1% Opposed It

A bill that will allow homes to be searched without a warrant was passed with overwhelming support by the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Trump—and it happened with no media coverage and very little fanfare.

Perhaps you missed this part...

“(b) Enter upon the WMATA Rail System and, upon reasonable notice and a finding by the chief executive officer that a need exists, upon any lands, waters, and premises adjacent to the WMATA Rail System, including, without limitation, property owned or occupied by the federal government, for the purpose of making inspections, investigations, examinations, and testing as the Commission may deem necessary to carry out the purposes of this MSC Compact, and such entry shall not be deemed a trespass. The Commission shall make reasonable reimbursement for any actual damage resulting to any such adjacent lands, waters, and premises as a result of such activities;" https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-cong...on/76/text

so they can't just come in anytime they want, they have to give a reasonable notice that they want to come and look...That's big difference from what you are inferring they can do...every local utility company, and water authority and municipal county and state governments can do the same thing and always have been allowed to

What's reasonable notice? Can the cops come in and say "Oh, we're going to search your house in an hour so let us in"? It's still a warrentless search.

When it comes to the electic company, yeah they can come on your property to inspect their equipment and read your meter because they have a right of way with the power lines.

The Railroad has no such equipmet on your property or a right of way so what do they need to inspect. And can anything that can be construed as criminal activity be reported to the local authorities? See? Warrentless search........

No it's just like when a landlord wants to do an inspection of his house someone is renting...he writes them a little note and says I will be coming by on such and such a day at such and such time, to conduct an an inspection of the property...If you are not going to be home, please make sure that all pets are crated or restrained...The notice is usually at least 10 days, that is considered reasonable time for a court order...Well here anyways

From time to time my water company sends us a notice they need to come into our home and check for a back flow check valve or to test water quality or something...The notice usually gives you 10 days or so to call and tell them when they can come in and if you dont they shut off the water supply until you do

you are looking too deep into this...They have the authority to look for problems not tear your house up like you just got raided for selling drugs out of your house...

Railroads cause vibrations in the ground for very long stretches, vibrations can cause damage to foundations, roadways, cause sink holes, disruption to underground piping such as water and sewer lines, gas lines, telephone poles...That's the kind of thing this commission is designed to monitor...

It's not like they are going to be looking for drug deals, or officers of the DEA or ICE, FBI or even the local constable or Justice Of The Peace will be involved...
