MODERATORS
All these replies and I don't think a single person has mentioned that states regulate police, not the federal government.
In my post I meant "state" as in "the state", like a polity claiming monopoly on legal violence in a given area. So like a blanket restriction against police, national guard, FBI, being able to be called in to break a strike on behalf of business.
Also, talking about states (now state as in Arizona) that doesn't mean that an amendment couldn't in theory do it though right? I mean state regulated police aren't legally able to violate your 4th amendment just because they're not federal agents.
Still feels like it would violate the 9th or 10th amendment. I suppose if you could convince two thirds of the house and senate and 3/4 of the states, and if nobody challenged it and the USSC didn't shoot it down, then maybe you've got a chance.
