Seeing the US first and second amendments get some love here, which makes senses and I support, but I think the fourth amendment is underrated in US discourse in general.

If 2A is the last line of the defense from the gov't, the 4th is many lines before that - the authorities should have been stopped/made to get a warrant way upstream up actual conflict. This is what, in theory, is protecting private persons and property from state meddling. Sadly it doesn't have the charisma and 1A, 2A get all the love.

If warrants were required for fewer things and my privacy was more eroded I could get disobedient.
