The following excerpt is from Sherman v. U.S. Parole Com'n, 502 F.3d 869 (9th Cir. 2007):
No doubt, the once prevailing view that searches and seizures of parolees present no Fourth Amendment issues has been rejected in our modern jurisprudence. Latta v. Fitzharris, 521 F.2d 246, 248 (9th Cir.1975) (en banc). But "[t]o hold that the Fourth Amendment is applicable . . . is only to begin the inquiry into the standards governing such intrusions." Skinner v. Ry. Labor Executives' Ass'n, 489 U.S. 602, 618-19, 109 S.Ct. 1402, 103 L.Ed.2d 639 (1989).
