Entick v. Carrington
From Conservapedia
Entick v. Carrington 95 Eng. Rep. 807 (C. P. 1765), is a decision in English law that has been described by the U.S. Supreme Court as a "monument to freedom" and the "ultimate expression of constitutional law" with respect to protection against searches and seizures by government.
Lord Camden held in this case that:
| “ | our law holds the property of every man so sacred, that no man can set his foot upon his neighbour's close without his leave; if he does he is a trespasser, though he does no damage at all; if he will tread upon his neighbour's ground, he must justify it by law. | ” |
Entick, at 817.
