Explanation
The 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures and requires law enforcement to obtain a warrant supported by probable cause. Madison's lawyer is arguing the police lacked sufficient justification (probable cause or a valid warrant) to seize her computer equipment. The 1st Amendment covers free speech, the 5th covers self-incrimination, and the 10th covers states' rights - none of which apply to the unlawful search and seizure argument here.
