What’s an unreasonable search?
17-year-old Joshua Bush has a bullet lodged just under the skin of his forehead. He says it was a stray bullet. Police say it was return fire from someone Bush was trying to kill during a robbery. They’ve obtained a warrant to seize the bullet. The problem is finding a doctor who will perform the surgery.
Bush’s attorneys say it’s an unreasonable search or seizure, and that he’s got a right to refuse to have a surgery that’s not medically necessary.
Police say he’s withholding evidence.
Between the 4th and 5th amendments, I’m thinking they’re not going to get that bullet any time soon.
I can’t believe a judge signed the warrant. There’s a big difference between the informed consent surrounding a blood alcohol sample, and forcing someone to submit to a surgical procedure.
