The Justices, by a 6-3 vote, in an <a href="http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/05pdf/04-9728.pdf">opinion</a> written by Justice Thomas, has held that the Fourth Amendment does not prohibit a police officer from conducting a suspicionless search of a parolee. <br> <span style='font-size:8.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'><br> </span><span style='font-size:8.0pt'>Added May 2006 <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='tab-stops:63.0pt'>AELE had asked the Supreme Court to overturn a Utah decision that held that police officers, who were called to the scene of a loud party, were not allowed to enter the home to stop a violent fight that they observed through a back window.
