Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents 403 U.S. 388 (1971) was a case in which the United States Supreme Court ruled that an implied cause of action existed for an individual whose Fourth Amendment freedom from unreasonable search and seizures had been violated by federal agents. The victim of such a deprivation could sue for the violation of the Amendment itself despite the lack of any federal statute authorizing such a suit.
