Ignoring the status quo, do you believe if motor vehicles were around when the founding fathers wrote the Constitution that Americans would need a license to drive a motor vehicle?
Did Americans need a license to drive a horse and buggy in 1787? Was the government allowed to search that buggy because a traffic violation gave them probable cause?
Should the 4th amendment be interpreted to include your car when it says, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."?
