I think the 4th amendment is quite clear.
===
Amendment IV
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.
===
If getting arrested, handcuffed, searched, taken to jail, searched again, fingerprinted, booked, and tossed into a cell full of criminals, while your car is towed away to impound and *it* is also searched is not an "unreasonable" police response to failing to buckle up, then my dictionary is broken.
I think it also violates the "due process" clause of the 5th amendment. But then, I thought the president was chosen by the people, not the supreme court.
