Municipal Court of San Francisco, 387 U.S. 523, 87 S.Ct. 1727, 18 L.Ed.2d 930 (1967);  Michigan v. Tyler, 436 U.S. 499, 504-508, 98 S.Ct. 1942, 1947-1949, 56 L.Ed.2d 486, 494-498 (1978);  Michigan v. Clifford, 464 U.S. 287, 291-92, 104 S.Ct. 641, 646, 78 L.Ed.2d 477, 483 (1984).   The Supreme Court in Camara stated that the “basic purpose of this Amendment ․ is to safeguard the privacy and security of individuals against arbitrary invasions by government officials.”  387 U.S. at 528, 87 S.Ct. at 1730.  “The officials may be health, fire, or building inspectors.   Their purpose may be to locate and abate a suspected public nuisance, or simply to perform a routine periodic inspection. These deviations from the typical police search are thus clearly within the protection of the Fourth Amendment.”  Michigan v. Tyler, 436 U.S. at 504-505, 98 S.Ct. at 1947.

Ask landlords who will be with them. If you don't want government inspectors in your place, simply ask them to get an administrative warrant to inspect specific areas in your home. Warrantless inspections violate U.S. Constitutional right to privacy. Ask your landlord what he wants to inspect, if it is an emergency, maintenance problem, or what.

Again they said they didn't have one. Well today I finally received my ticket for refusing them entry into my apartment. I can't wait to go to court and defend my constitutional rights against these Nazi's. A few weeks ago I had my return visit from the Village in which again I requested them to show me a warrant.

Maybe every home in Schiller Park should have one of those RPZ valves for safe water. Anyone else know anything about these things?
