I'm not a lawyer and certainly not a constitutional scholar, but I can read plain English prose. If that's not sufficient to understand our law then I suggest the "fault lies not in ourselves...", but in the law.
From The Constitution of the United States of America:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.
...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
This, also.
"the idea that 'the public interest' supersedes private interests and rights can have but one meaning: that the interests and rights of some individuals take precedence over the interests and rights of others."- Ayn Rand
