Police in Beloit, Wisconsin, are asking residents to voluntarily allow police to search their home for guns.
Police Chief Norm Jacobs states that he hopes the request will not only help people ‘think differently about gun violence,’ but he also hopes that searches will lead to the “discovery of guns they didn’t know were in their own homes.”

Are you KIDDING???? It is most certainly a very thinly disguised ruse to obliterate Fourth Amendment protections. To think otherwise is completely delusional!
A homeowner calling the police and asking for this service doesn’t have anything to do with unreasonable search and seizure. Remember the 4th amendment does not guarantee that we are completely free from all searches and all seizures, only those which are UNREASONABLE.
There are 7 exceptions to the requirement for a search warrant when searching or seizing a person, place, or thing. Consent from the owner being the applicable exception in this case. Though this isn’t a “public service” we offer here, we still get calls from parents wanting us to search a child’s room for all sorts of contraband. I’m not saying this program will reduce the murder problem in this town, but it could give a homeowner peace of mind which we should all be entitled to in our own homes.
Nope
Uh, no.
absolutely NOT!!!!!
