Supreme Court upholds surprise mine search ruling
The Supreme Court ruled 8 to 1 that the federal law allowing surprise warrantless inspections of mines and quarries is constitutional. The majority held that the Fourth Amendment privacy interests differ between commercial property and private homes and noted regular inspections under the Mine Safety and Health Act as a strong safeguard for miners' health and safety. Justice Marshall wrote for six others, distinguishing mine inspections from OSHA cases and emphasizing the act’s mandatory quarterly to four times yearly inspections.
