General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Connally v. Georgia, 429 U.S. 245 (1977)
Connally v. Georgia No. 76-461 Decided January 10, 1977 429 U.S. 245
ON APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT O GEORGIA
Syllabus
A justice of the peace’s issuance of a search warrant to search appellant’ house, pursuant to Georgia statutory scheme whereby a justice of the peace, who is not salaried, is paid a prescribed fee for issuance of each warrant but receives nothing for his denial of a warrant, held to effect a violation of the protections afforded appellant by the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. In such a situation, the defendant is subjected to judicial action by an officer of the court who "has a direct, personal, substantial, pecuniary interest," Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510, 523, in his decision to issue or deny the warrant.
237 Ga. 203, 227 S.E.2d 352, vacated and remanded.
