Trying to understand your point. Do you mean the phrase "but upon probable cause"? And if so, do you mean that it would have been a better utopia if searches were not allowed even with probable cause?


Probable cause is not required for searches. Probable cause is required for a warrant to issue. Searches must be reasonable. Searches without a warrant are simply presumptively unreasonable.


There is a caveat already in the origin text.

Unreasonable

Given that is already in there why add the additional caveat that then allows unreasonable searches? Surely reasonable searches are all we really need.
