in 2033, the u.s. government decides that the people have become too dangerous. they decide to make all weapons illegal. larry lawyer, head of the department of justice, gently reminds congress they cant do this. why not? 2nd 3rd 5th 9th dirty harry goes to judge dredd and demands a warrant to search the home of bob law. he says hes got a hunch bobs up to no good. judge dredd tells dirty harry hell need a lot more than that to get a warrant - why?
The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. So making all weapons illegal would likely be a violation of this amendment. For the second - part, in the U.S., to obtain a search warrant, law enforcement needs probable cause, not just a hunch. Probable cause means there must be a reasonable basis to believe that a crime has been committed and evidence of the crime will be found in the place to be searched.
