Armed police have begun to handcuff hurricane survivors who refuse to leave their homes in New Orleans.
As many as 10,000 people have stayed put in the devastated city despite orders to evacuate.
Many are now said to be going voluntarily, but others are being detained and taken to evacuation centres.
Not that it matters:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
