Early citation of Wikipedia


In a 2004 ruling concerning magnetometer searches of antiwar protesters, the Court cited a Wikipedia entry about Homeland Security Advisory System and its five defined threat levels.[1]
[2]. In Bourgeois v. Peters, 387 F.3d 1303 (11th Cir. Oct. 2004), the court held that "the mass, suspicionless, warrantless magnetometer searches violate their Fourth Amendment right to be free of 'unreasonable searches and seizures'" were violative of the 4th Amendment.
