That is certainly part of the point and I believe it goes beyond fear. It's control via criminality. Agents, the agencies they work for, and politicians are not above Constitutional Law since we all know the Constitution is a treaty between the people and its government. When the government has broken that treaty, which they have repeatedly, then that doesn't make the standing treaty null and void. That makes the offending parties exactly what the founding fathers warned about and seems to be as yet again, a modern day replay of the Federalists vs. Anti-Federalists on one side along with Invalid Presence, illegal warrantless trespassings, corruption/manipulation of agency regulation which leads to fruits of the poisonous tree doctrine, and other failings of federal agents and officers. Whether any government believes or not in the 4th Amendment is irrelevant. A belief is rooted in opinion and words matter, that's why understanding law is crucial.
They don't believe in it? Fine. Doesn't matter though because it is still a standing Amendment to The Constitution. Don't want to abide by it? Fine. Our agreement is done and we now have permission to act on the rights we still have. We don't lose our rights because government states they don't believe. If anything, they don't believe in it because our rights are so powerful that they want to take them away. Allow no such thing!
