The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
seems to me that the use of a comma after violated and the subsequent clarification of necessary conditions for the issuance of a warrant indicates, rather, that this is intended to protect the right of the people to be secure in the persons...against unreasonable searches and seizures. Ergo, until a warrant is issued no searches should occur. As a matter of law. As a matter of sophistry I think you're on to something.
