Sniffer Dogs Should Be Allowed In Schools

Decent Essays
Police should be allowed to conduct random searches of schools, malls and other public places using sniffer dogs because of the safety of the people. Many times illegal actions have occurred behind closed doors and no one has realized until matters have become severe. An example would be when people are crossing the border with illegal substances. If hidden well, airport security cannot suspect/find anything but sniffer dogs are able to. This also occurs in school, for students would not tell on each other for possessing drugs and there is only so much teachers can supervise. Police never bring out sniffer dogs ‘randomly’, there is always a reason. Either they have been told something or have seen something to suspect that public area. Illegal

    Jardines illustrates the shifting landscape of Fourth Amendment analysis. In Jardines, the Supreme Court held that the use of a police drug-sniffing dog on the front porch of a house was an unlawful search because the property was protected by the Fourth Amendment. Jardines specified that only a limited scope of conduct is invited by the simple action of “hanging a knocker.” Actions that deviate meaningfully from this protocol (i.e., approaching the front door, knocking, and waiting briefly) or that are not “customary, usual, reasonable, respectful, ordinary, typical, [or] nonalarming” will exceed the scope of the implied license and thus violate the homeowner’s Fourth Amendment…

    Throughout the past 10 years there has been many talks on whether the police should be required to wear body cameras. Throughout all the research and studies regarding these cameras, these have been many pros to body cams but there have also been cons and many challenges to implementing this system in police forces throughout the country. Many different police stations have done experiments with these cameras and have all shown very positive feedback. Regardless of the amount of work necessary to implement these cameras, it should be necessary for officers to wear these body cameras because they have the potential to save lives. To go along with that, police should be forced to wear these body cameras because they have the potential to save lives, give better representation than hearing a testimony, and make suspects less likely to run or attack an officer because everything they do is caught on camera.…

    Stop and frisk searches sometimes are unsuccessful in catching potential criminals. However, proponents of the stop and frisk program believe it’s a successful crime deterrent. The practice of stop and frisk has sparked a large amount of controversy amongst the police and the general public. The NYPD should not be able to proceed any further with the practice of stop and frisk. The program directly violates the people’s Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure.…

The right to have privacy was provided to people when it was installed in the 4th amendment to the constitution. Although the U.S. Government has been stretching out this basic right and invading the privacy right that every American has. The government should not be allowed to freely use surveillance programs to watch over innocent people 's every move. Stated in the 4th amendment there is the right for people “to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.…

    Police sometimes abuse their power, and because there is no evidence, they cannot be found guilty in courts. Most public opinions are said that they want body cameras on police officers but some say that they don 't want this because of privacy in the public. Because of issues of police brutality with minorities police officers should have body cameras on at all times. As most Americans living in the United States want cameras on officers at all times for their own safety, what changes can body cameras bring to our society? " The Brown shooting and other recent police shootings in which apparently unarmed men were killed and accounts of what happened sharply differ have led to growing calls for standard use of such body cameras and "dash cams by police” (Paulson).…

    On July 4th, 1776 the United States gained independence from Britain – a tyrannous regime that held power over the United States for quite some time. After fighting so hard for independence, the people wanted to make sure they would never be under a tyrannous rule again. Consequently, a system of checks and balance was made to give equal power to the three branches of our government. These checks and balances can be seen all throughout our government, however, one of the best examples that displays the efficiency of this system can be seen in the process of making a law. The first step in this process is to draft a bill.…
