As a pure layman, I would think that the 4th amendment would preclude cops from getting a warrant and then stealing everything on site. It says a lot about the country when we need MORE legislation and more rulings to prevent such a thing from happening.

So would I, since according to the 4th Amendment warrants must be "particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized".

Since rulings and legislation apparently haven't stopped it from happening up to now, I'm not sure how more rulings and legislation will help, without some fundamental change in how the rule of law is viewed by everyone.
