police fears for their safety they move on to the next step, to frisk the person for any weapons or other illegal contrabands. The term “reasonable suspicion” and for a police officer to have such thing, in order to stop a person arose out of the case Terry v. Ohio (1968). This case changed policing because prior to it, police officers needed “probable cause” to stop someone, meaning that the officer has sufficient information to believe the person has committed or is about to…

Stop & Frisk The practice of stop and frisk first began with Terry vs. Ohio. The Fourth Amendment had long required that uniformed officers have probable cause in order to conduct Fourth Amendment invasions in order to administer a reasonable search and seizure. In 1968 the Warren Court, despite its liberal reputation lowered the standards that police officers had to meet. In order to conduct a certain type of search this is now known as “stop’ and ‘frisk. A "stop and frisk" occurs when a…

I am in agreement with the court’s decision to block the ruling that deemed the New York Police Department’s stop and frisk policy unconstitutional (Boyette, & Martinez, 2013). Although the ruling will not stop minorities and Hispanics from being targeted unfairly, it is unconstitutional not to protect the safety and welfare of citizens. If this policy is permitted a lot of innocent people will fall into the category of suspect of being stopped. There should be some responsibility to the public…

With this growth came challenges, the growing disparity between the wealthy and the poor led to deplorable and unsafe working conditions as the demand for production and more wealth for business owners became a more powerful motivator than human life and safety. This increase in economic success had…

As a child, having rules to follow wasn’t unheard of with my family. There was always a way to behavior with friends/family, at school, at home and out in the street. Often I found myself getting into trouble because I didn 't listen and also the fact that I always found some kind of way to slipping out of having to doing something that I knew I was supposed to do. But out of all the people in my family my mom was the strictest. When expectations set high, not meaning them meant my siblings and…

Weeping as the foundation shook and shook, I felt at moment tranquil. Suddenly, after overcoming an obstacle barely, I felt my whole world losing it’s…

On the other hand, I do use post-it sticky notes through out the day at home and at work because I am very forgetful. If I didn 't use them, I will be in so much trouble not completing tasks or projects at my work;…
