1.What are the Miranda warnings and why are those provisions important?

You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law, you have the right to a lawyer, if you cannot afford a lawyer one will be given to you, do you understand the rights I have just read to you, with these rights in mind do you wish to speak to me. Those provisions are important because it protects a person's right not to self-accuse himself. That is why a suspect who is in possession by the police must be informed of his or her rights before any police questioning. If the police do not read a suspect his or her Miranda rights, the lawyer (who tries to prove someone guilty) can't use.

2.Can police go outside your house to search for trash? Is it compatible to collecting urine or blood?

This curtilage, however, does not include trash that is left outside your home or on the curb for pickup. Since court rooms (the law) have decided you have no expectation of privacy in trash left out on the street, police are free to rummage through it without probable cause or a warrant. (when something is kept out or not included) of (event(s) or object(s) that prove something). Yes, I believe it is compatible to collecting urine or blood because it's evidence …show more content…
Justice cannot win with required sentencing. Justice wins when a person is given a legal punishment that considers all parts of the case presented, without any concern about past offenses. For example, it is unfair when a person ends up with life sentence after being caught with a small amount of pot for the third time. These laws allow for non-violent law-breakers to do maximum amounts of jail time for dearly small charges. In the long run, these criminals end up causing the state more money by being put in jail instead of being put on

    Navarette V. California, 13-US: A Case Analysis

    The rule of law governing search and seizure is the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution which states, in part, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause…” The constitution does not provide definition of what constitutes an unreasonable search and seizure, nor does it define the term effects as it pertains to the venue being searched in this instance. Thus, case law interpreting these provisions must be analyzed to determine the protection of a person in their mobile home as it was not considered during the amendment’s creation. The initial case interpreting the Fourth…

    Do's And Don Ts Case

    - Yes a warrantless search is permitted in these private dwellings. The reason said search may occur is because while in “hot pursuit” of a criminal an officer must continue to maintain the safety of him/herself as well as the public’s. Therefore in keeping with this goal if a criminal were to run through a public dwelling then its security has been compromised which puts the officer and the public in danger which warrants a security sweep of the premises. (when necessary) 6.) The police have a warrant to search your basement for evidence of a drug manufacturing operation.…

    Plain View Doctrine (PVD)

    1. the Plain View Doctrine (PVD) The police officers lawfully obtained evidence from Archer’s dining room under the PVD because the officer was in a place where he had a right to be and saw accessible property that was recognized as the candelabra. The Supreme Court has held that even if there is no warrant, obtaining evidence is always reasonable under the Fourth Amendment, if (1) the police entrance to the place to be searched is valid and (2) the PVD prong test is satisfied: if an officer is in a place where he has a right to be and sees accessible property that is recognized as contraband, an officer may seize the evidence.…

    Henrietta Lacks Argumentative Essay

    In the United States of America, citizens have unalienable physical rights, a trait that sets us apart from many other countries around the world. While documents such as the Constitution and Bill of Rights stand true to this day, how these official papers apply to science is still up to debate, as some phrases could pose a threat to peoples’ privacy and to scientific research. Peoples’ legal ownership and control over their tissue, should be up to the person in which the tissues were extracted. A prime example of how weak tissue rights invaded someone’s right to privacy and should be made stronger, is Henrietta Lacks.…

    Finally, Ms. Poe did not deny her access to or control over the container. Moments prior to the search, officers directly asked if the shoebox was hers. She replied simply that she was the one who had placed the shoebox on the dresser and had done so “a while back”. (5) This points to her at some point having actual possession of the container and would lead a reasonable officer to believe that she would still maintain access to or control over the shoebox.…

    In 1960 Ohio police were searching for a suspect they believed had involvement with a resent bombing. While investigating the case, three police officers went to the residence of Dollree Mapp who they had reason to believe was protecting the fugitive or had information of their whereabouts. When the officers arrived at her home they asked Mapp to open the door and let them come in to search her home. She contacted her attorney at the time and he advised her not to let them in without a warrant. The police, who knowingly did not have legal permission to enter, left the residence.…

    Arguments Against 4th Amendment

    1. After framing the constitution it seems that there was a need to change certain guidelines in constitution, Hence they came up with the term Amendments (changes in documents). in 4th Amendment it talks about the unreasonable/unnecessary searches of someone's possessions or seizures (also arrest) which is against the right to privacy. The scope of seizures/Searched should be limited and only warrant should be issued by law enforcement officer before police taking necessary action. in 1792 US State secretary Sir Jefferson, Thomas declared the amendment adoption.…

    Arguments Against The Fourth Amendment

    The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, but as the court case Katz v. United States 389 U.S. 347 (1967) “states that whatever a person knowingly exposes to the public even within one’s own house is not protected by the Fourth Amendment”. According to the Fourth amendment if a package is closed against inspection no matter where it is police must obtain a warrant to search it as if it were in your home. Unlike Mr. Greenwood who knowingly exposed his opaque trash bags on the curb for the trash collector to pick it up as to anyone or anything on the public street. Also the Fourth Amendment was not violated since the trash collector was going to be there to pick up the garbage in the neighborhood as usual and…

    The Pros And Cons Of The Miranda Warning

    Some pros and cons of the Miranda Warning, I would say that some pros would be that the person simply knows what their rights are. They know that they have the right to an attorney, and to have them present during questioning. They know they can remain silent and don’t have to talk to the police. They know that if they do talk, the things they say can be used against them in court. These may all seem like simple things that anyone would understand or know, but they simply are not.…

    Argumentative Essay: Should Police Strip Searche?

    a rival gang member. This brings back us back to my claim where strip searches should be in play because again it is a safety concern for everyone in the jail facility like the inmates and the Staff that work there even for visitors. Therefore, all the people that will be arrested or have been arrested do not have the fourth amendment to save them from being striped searched. I see how Breyer explains how the police should only strip search the people that are arrested for bigger offenses instead of minor offenses, but really I believe all arrestees should be Striped searched. Back to my claim you never know what the person has, weapons, drugs etc.…

    Illegal Search Vs Illegal Search

    A case that helped define these lines was Chimel v. California that dealt with “both arrest and search activities by local law enforcement officers” (Schmalleger, 2014, p. 130). Chimel was arrested in his home, in connection with the robbery of a coin shop, where coins from the robbery were found through a search at the time of his arrest (Schmalleger, 2014). Even though he was convicted of the robbery, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the search “became invalid when it went beyond the arrested person and the area subject to the person’s ‘immediate control’” (Schmalleger, 2014, p. 130). Because the coins were not found on or in the immediate area as Chimel and the officers did not have a warrant to search the residence, the search was deemed illegal.…

    Supreme Court Case: Harris V. United States

    Although, urged to go to the back of the home to reach the accused, the marijuana was in clear view, therefore, as an officer of the court seizing it at that time was a legal obligation. Moreover, this type of seize is justifiable under the plain view doctrine and does not violate the rights given to the accused under the Fourth Amendment. Hendrix (2013) explains that “in Harris v. United States (1968), the Supreme Court established that anything a police officer sees in plain view, when the officer has a right to be where he or she is, is not the product of a search and is therefore admissible as evidence” (p.159). Subsequently, it then becomes a matter of moral judgement rather than just a noise disturbance. Hendrix (2013) indicates that…
