Answer:

The police do not become powerful at the expense of citizens’ rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects people's rights to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, meaning that the police or the government cannot violate their privacy unless that the searches and seizures are deemed reasonable under the law. This Amendment aims to limit the police power so they can not act at the expense of citizen's rights.
