"Plea deals" have an interesting caveat that I didn't know - you can agree to punishments that the government couldn't impose as part of a plea deal.

So if the punishment for driving drunk is 3 years in prison, you may be able to avoid it by accepting a plea deal that infringes on your third amendment rights.

This can even occur in a civil case.

I'm pretty sure even a plea bargain can't result in soldiers being quartered in your home.

It's a humorous example, but violations of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th are common.

They aren’t violations if you are being punished. People who don’t take the deal and get sent to jail or put on probation typically lose those rights as well.

The soldiers in my home only have bill acceptors, not coin slots, so it's legal.
