Why give one when I can give all of them?

4th amendment - A police officer can't just barge into any Tom, d! c k, or Harry's house.

5th - Telling someone to speak in a confession scene is forbidden and will get your police officer privileges suspended.

6th - You can't just arrest any criminal and throw them in jail, you must give them a fair/speedy trail should they ask for it.

8th - This is a good example of the George Floyd incident. You can't give someone a cruel and unusual punishment regardless if they are guilty or not.

14th - You can't just leave one law out or make it any less obsolete than the others.
