Does the doctrine of substantive due process apply to the use of the Fourth Amendment?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from San Joaquin Deputy Sheriffs' Ass'n v. Cnty. of San Joaquin, NO. CIV. S-12-1361 LKK/GGH (E.D. Cal. 2012):

Where a particular Amendment provides an explicit textual source of constitutional protection against a particular sort of government behavior, that Amendment, not the more generalized notion of substantive due process, must be the guide for analyzing those claims. County of Sacramento v. Lewis, 523 U.S. 833, 842, 118 S.Ct. 1708, 140 L.Ed.2d 1043 (1998). Substantive due process analysis is inappropriate in this case only if Plaintiffs' claim is "covered by" the Fourth Amendment. Id. at 843.
