Strom.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The case that started after Edward Caniglia, 68, got into an argument with his wife, Kim, in 2015 that ultimately ended up with the police seizing Caniglia\u2019s firearms. After fighting, Kim went and stayed at a hotel and later contacted law enforcement, believing that her husband might hurt himself. Edward did not have a criminal record or any history of self-harm.<\/p>\n<p>Forbes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/nicksibilla\/2021\/03\/23\/biden-administration-urges-supreme-court-to-let-cops-enter-homes-and-seize-guns-without-a-warrant\/?sh=5748d6ac2829\">reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"19\">\n<p><em>Still, police were convinced that Edward could hurt himself and insisted he head to a local hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. After refusing and insisting that his mental health wasn\u2019t their business, Edward agreed only after police (falsely) promised they wouldn\u2019t seize his guns while he was gone.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Compounding the dishonesty, police then told Kim that Edward had consented to the confiscation. Believing the seizures were approved by her husband, Kim led the officers to the two handguns the couple owned, which were promptly seized. Even though Edward was immediately discharged from the hospital, police only returned the firearms after he filed a civil rights lawsuit against them.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Police never claimed that their actions were in response to an emergency or to prevent imminent danger, and instead argued that their actions were a form of \u201ccommunity caretaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Forbes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/nicksibilla\/2021\/03\/23\/biden-administration-urges-supreme-court-to-let-cops-enter-homes-and-seize-guns-without-a-warrant\/?sh=d0a790a2829f\">noted<\/a> that the Biden administration urged the Supreme Court to side with the police, saying \u201cthe ultimate touchstone of the Fourth Amendment is \u2018reasonableness,\u2019\u201d and that official warrants should not be \u201cpresumptively required when a government official\u2019s action is objectively grounded in a non-investigatory public interest, such as health or safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even leftist Justice Sonia Sotomayor appeared to take issue with what happened, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/oral_arguments\/argument_transcripts\/2020\/20-157_5i36.pdf\">noting<\/a>, \u201cthere was no immediate danger to the person threatening suicide and no immediate danger to the wife because the suicide person [sic] was removed to a hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sotomayor said that she did not have a problem with the man being forced to undergo a psychiatric evaluation and noted that the issue was police \u201cgoing into the home without attempt to secure consent from the wife and seizing the gun and then keeping it indefinitely until a lawsuit is filed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe wife tried to get it back. He tried to get it back. Weeks and weeks went by,\u201d Sotomayor noted. \u201cWhen we permit police to search and seize without some standard, we run the risk of situations like this one repeating themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Forbes separately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/nicksibilla\/2021\/03\/27\/supreme-court-considers-fourth-amendment-exception-to-let-cops-seize-guns-without-a-warrant\/?sh=32d8c3f9189f\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"22\">\n<p><em>This risk featured prominently in the amicus briefs filed by gun-rights advocates. \u201cExpansion of the \u2018community caretaking\u2019 exception into the home will be used by police in jurisdictions with onerous or constitutionally-questionable firearm restrictions to turn every call to a house into a search for guns under the pretext of \u2018helping\u2019 those present,\u201d warned a&nbsp;joint amicus brief&nbsp;filed by the Second Amendment Law Center, the California Rifle and Pistol Association, and Gun Owners of California. Simply put, \u201cthe Fourth Amendment has no \u2018gun\u2019 exception.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Although&nbsp;Caniglia v. Strom centers around seizing guns from someone suspected of being suicidal, its reach will be much, much broader. Should the Supreme Court adopt the Biden Administration\u2019s&nbsp;argument&nbsp;that \u201cthe Fourth Amendment permits a warrantless seizure or home entry that is reasonably necessary to protect health or safety,\u201d such public health and safety concerns could \u201cbecome a pretext for law enforcement,\u201d argued Shay Dvoretzky, who argued for Caniglia before the High Court.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The report noted that Justice Neil Gorsuch slammed the idea that government officials could secure so-called \u201cadministrative\u201d warrants as an alternative, asking, \u201cIf the government can just get an administrative warrant to come in to test for illness, to check the temperature of the house, whether it\u2019s too hot, too cold \u2026 what\u2019s left of the Fourth Amendment?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
