    "The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the crown. It may be frail-its roof may shake—the wind may blow through it—the storm may enter the rain may enter-but the King of England cannot enter."

    William Pitt the 1st Earl of Chatham,
    1763.​

    I first heard this quote in my political science class in HFCC in 1997. Some people think it is about search and seizure and privacy. It's also about equal protection of the law, for all people including people like the poor and indigents.
