One problem with what you've said is that the fourth amendment is not phrased in the sense in which you refer to it. Specifically, it proscribes unreasonable searches and seizures. It does not require the people to actively facilitate the government in `reasonable' searches and seizures.

Important point to note about the Bill of Rights. It was designed to restrict the guvment not the peepul. DCF "Finally a Third Amendment violation after all these years of waiting -- Note that the DTI will require that you provide appropriate technologies to the FBI, NSA and Military Intelligence (aka "soldiers") to spy on your electronic activities for the good of the State. Once you build a house in a VR community, the only way that the Feds can spy on you is to adopt VR "personalities" and live in that community and in everyone's houses so they can see what's happening behind every "door." After all, you can't find out what's happening in a VR environment by reading a printout. Under the DTI you will have to support them in these "personalities." Thus you will be forced to quarter them in your houses in peacetime. Third Amendment violation. Question -- if you "kill" a Fed in a VR environment, is it a crime?"
