The 4th Amendment. We should be careful about Amendments, though. They could cause trouble, or rather extend trouble we already have.

Fourth Amendment

the 4th amendment, but, our so called great President Bill Clinton killed the 4th and no one complained, don't you remember when He came on T,V, asking the people not to get excited he only wanted permission to search the projects for drugs guns etc, as by the time cops got a warrant they could move or dispose of these things, No one complained, but when the law was written it stated they can search any premises or any place they suspect drugs, guns and the gov has a interest in, no one seems to understand , the gov, has a interest in every house car truck or any thing else you can think of , by the way they interpret the commerce clause of the constitution,, many states still prohibit this action for now . but it is there when ever they should need it, like when they get ready to confiscate our guns?? how many people know about this or haow many care??/

Short Answer: 4th Amendment, but also consult your state constitution and case law.
Long Answer:
If you are asking about search and seizures by federal officers then the answer is the 4th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. HOwever, it must be noted that the U.S. Constitution serves as the minimum protection afforded to U.S. citizens in all the states. The individual states are allowed to establish greater protection for the citizens of their state. So in the context of searches and seizures by state officers, you must consult your own state constitution and its applicable case law. YOur state may afford greater protection than that allowed by the U.S. Constitution and federal case law. For example, the right to privacy in the State of Florida is greater than the right to privacy afforded by the U.S. Constitution.

The 4th Amendment prohibits "unreasonable" search and siezure without a warrant.

Amendment IV
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.
