Florida v. J.L. (2000): Unconstitutional Search and Seizure Under the Fourth Amendment

In the case of Florida v. J.L., the Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement violated the Fourth Amendment rights of a 15-year-old Black male who was frisked based solely on an anonymous tip. The Court held that the tip did not provide sufficient grounds for a warrantless search. Authored by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the unanimous opinion emphasized the need for clear and just cause before conducting searches. This case highlights the significance of protecting individuals from unreasonable searches based solely on appearances or assumptions.
