I dream of the day when someone tries to challenge the evidence of a police search based on the Third Amendment:
“Your honor, I move to dismiss the mountain of evidence obtained from my client’s alleged “drug lab of the gods” based on the local PD’s violation of my client’s Third Amendment rights! As you know, the alleged drug lab took several days for the police to process through, and in that time, they violated my client’s rights! First, they were heavily militarized, decked out entirely in gear completely unfit for peace officers and only fit for soldiers. Therefore they should count as “troops” under the Third Amendment. And, during the search, they quartered themselves in my client’s home! Two of them stole snacks from the fridge, and one took a short nap on my client’s couch. These troops were quartering themselves, in peace time, in my client’s home. Therefore, all evidence from the search must be declared inadmissible!”
