How about huge dunes for tax dollars going to violations of the constituents 4th amendment rights?
If you’re setting off fireworks, you have no expectation of privacy.
It’s shouting “look at me!” for miles around.
An expectation of privacy has literally nothing to do with the 4th amendment.
Which fourth amendment are you reading? Because the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution is pretty clearly about privacy.

Seems pretty clear cut to me. If you disagree, I'm anxious to hear your explanation.
I'm not going to waste my time. The context was public expectation of privacy. It is different. Learn to read.
Seriously. I hate when people who have no idea how the law works start throwing around the Constitution. Like how is it “unreasonable search and seizure” for the government to use cameras to see who’s setting off literal sky-high explosives in their backyard? That definitely falls under the realm of ‘reasonable’ govt actions lol
Plus it’s outside where there already is t an expectation of privacy? It’s always been legal in the US to take photos from the street/sky for evidence
Which part of "persons, houses, papers, and effects", any even any kind of private property, is the air above your house?
