United States case law was established in 1914, which consisted of police entering Fremont Weeks home and illegally seizing evidence of Weeks transporting lottery tickets through the mail. This case is what brought forth the exclusionary rule, which makes any evidence obtained during an illegal search and seizure possibly inadmissible in court. To uphold the fourth amendment, officers need a probable cause to justify the search of someone’s home and other property. To establish probable cause, officers need factual evidence that leads them to believe that the suspect has committed a crime.…

    In April 2013, a fertilizer plant located in West, Texas experienced a deadly explosion (Meyer et al., 2014, p.2). The explosion left many dead, and hundreds injured in the local surrounding area (McNeill, Pell, and Roberts, 2013). An investigation conducted after the calamity found a failure of compliance of the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act by West Fertilizer Company (WFC), as they did not list ammonium nitrate on required paperwork submitted to the Texas Department of State Health Services and the West Volunteer Fire Department (McNeill, Pell, and Roberts, 2013). Moreover, firefighters and emergency responders were unprepared to respond to the disaster, as they had not received sufficient training for incidents involving…

    Ideally there would be a plan and steps that would be followed that addressed the issue of confidentiality yet that is not always the case. If the team wanted investigation confidentiality, a third-party person or group would assist in the incident response. That way they would have no reason to hide anything as they would be neutral and hopefully trained correctly (you never know). If a third party was not financially feasible, a designated group should be used that follow proper protocol as spelled out in NIST guidelines that were suggested for this assignment. For example, there should be no discussion of findings as the investigation is underway as well as any documents should be discretely covered as notes are being documented.…

    The Vigilance Project Case (Dominick, 2008) is about team conflict because, in reality, the entire project was founded on some sort of conflict. The merger wasn’t really a merger, but more of an acquisition, which instantly creates tensions between the employees of both companies as various roles are either increased or decreased, depending on which company you initially worked for. As subteams were formed and sponsors/leads assigned to each subteam, initially it sounds like a good idea. It flattens out the hierarchy and involves plenty of employees in the decision-making process. However, because of the location of teams, it may have created a larger problem, producing more conflict, as now communication is becoming a bigger-than-initially-thought…
