    Redding taught me a lot about my profession. This case taught me about what a school district can and cannot due when looking for drugs in student’s belongings and on them. This case taught me that there is a limitation with children and young adults when conducting searches.

This is especially important due to the fact that drug rates in young children have grown over the years, and affects much younger children in today’s society.…

    Mississippi Civil Forfeiture Essay

    Our criminal system has numerous felony cases depending on the crime that are committed. Mississippi has a law that allows property to be seized, and possibly forfeited, if it is assumed to have connection with a violation of controlled substances laws. To validate a forfeiture,” the State must essentially prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that an item of property was “used” or “intended to be used” in violation of the law. Some items of property subject to forfeiture are intuitive – drugs, drug containers, paraphernalia and items used to manufacture drugs are all routinely forfeited”. Under Mississippi’s civil forfeiture laws the government has to connect property to a crime by a multitude of evidence in order to forfeit it.…

    Where The Blood Mixes Analysis

    In his play Where the Blood Mixes, Kevin Loring illuminates the origins and implications of the legacy of residential schools which remains prevalent in Indigenous communities in the twenty-first century. Loring strives not to diminish the experiences of residential school survivors, but to reconstruct how individuals in the twenty-first century view and represent survivors of residential schools. This goal is achieved through Loring’s depiction of characters that are sad, but loving and funny people with hobbies, people who are not consumed and defined by their residential school experiences but continue to feel its painful influence nonetheless. Loring presents the characters with charming yet heart wrenching humanity to illustrate…

    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…
