What was an "unreasonable" search in 1787? If a police officer hears
you do a drug deal on a scanner is that admissible in court?



Since the Constitution gives no power whatever to the central government
to legislate on or control drugs, no federal drug "laws" can possibly be
constitutional, and every DEA arrest and conviction is itself illegal.
(Actually, I see no warrant in the Constitution for the federal
government even _knowing_ what you possess, much less making it a crime.)

As for state and local governments, they naturally have a wider scope --
but at least one can choose to live in a locality where the prevailing
standards are congenial to you.

The point sailed right past you. The point being the Founders were
neither clairvoyant nor divinely inspired. They were major hypocrites
and therefore mere imperfect slobs like the rest of us.
