Preferred term
United States v. Cardiff
Definition
- Although it does not specifically mention the Fourth Amendment, the U.S. Supreme Court decision in United States v. Cardiff, 344 U.S. 174 (1952), demonstrates the manner in which the Court sometimes uses principles of statutory construction to shield companies against the kind of unreasonable searches and seizures that the amendment proscribes. Cardiff had been convicted and fined for refusing to open his factory to an inspection by agents acting under authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
