    The Supreme Court's decision in New Verses versus T.L.O was that the search was legal and that it didn't violate the 4th amendment. The Court also held that school officials need "responsible suspicion" instead of a higher level of "probable cause" and that such a warrant wasn't needed. There should be "responsible suspicion" since students still have some rights at schools, and without a "responsible suspicion", the school officials would be breaking the Fourth Amendment. Yes, the Supreme Court's decision was the correct one because students should have some rights when at school, but if associated with what could lead to a bigger consequence or investigation, the school officials should be able to search and do what they can without a warrant…

    To oversimplify, matters surrounding privacy can be color coded. There are some issues that are very black and white related to the need to “violate” privacy. However, there are also quite a few gray areas where more research needs to be conducted and statistics gathered to formulate guidelines to determine when it is indeed necessary. Privacy in general needs to be treated in a way that is different from other rights and based on the serious consequences of not revealing facts that would be considered “private”.…

    Racially stereotyping Muslim and Arab individuals could potentially lead them to be more inclined to engage in criminal behavior as they may defy law enforcement officials as a result of the profiling that exists among their race. While law enforcement officials claim to have a systematic and random procedure, results indicate that such is not necessarily the case; as such, all races and religions should be subjected to random searches in an equal manner, as profiling against a specific religion or racial group violates the liberty and fundamental rights of all people. Racial profiling violates the rights of all individuals, as granted by the United States Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendments provides United States citizens due process, granting fair and equal treatment to all people of all races and religions.…

    In "The Ethics of Biometrics: The Risk of Social Exclusion from the Widespread Use of Electronic Identification," Jeremy Wickins discusses concerns when making biometrics identification a universal practice. Wickins alerts that using computer biometrics will cause an unethical segregation of people in society, due to the computer being unable to scan the disable, elderly, or personal religious customs. When defining biotechnology, Wickins explains, when people think of biotechnology, what comes to mind for many is automotive manufacturers, DNA testing, cloning, and reproductive technology. The field of biometrics is equally a branch of biotechnology whose development over the years has been ever evolving through computer technology and warns us the ethics of its use and should be scrutinized closely.…
