The student and her friend were caught smoking cigarettes in the restroom of the high school by a teacher, and escorted to the principal’s office. After claiming that she was not a smoker, the principal demanded that she reveal the contents of…

“A key function of the Bill of Rights, therefore, is to protect the rights of those in the minority against the will of the majority.” (Sidlow, 2015, p. 72) It was also written to protect and defend the rights of every United States citizen when it comes to their basic rights, arms and religion. Additionally, it declares the rights of citizens when it comes to firearm possession and prohibits biased laws being passed with regard to religion. Another main reason for the Bill of rights to be…
Stop and frisk search is one of the most controversial procedures that the police execute. According to the legal dictionary, stop and frisk refers to “the situation in which a police officer who is suspicious of an individual detains the person and runs his hands lightly over the suspect’s outer garments to determine if the person is carrying a concealed weapon.” The officer also questions the person during this process.

In favor of Jeremy Jaynes, he just used his computer to send emails in North Carolina, and did not use his computer in Virginia. Also, he argued that he couldn’t control where the email would be sent, so he didn't have intent to…
stop people based solely off how they look, or act socially; and search them in New York city. While new york has shown a extravagant decrease in crime as of late, there is no concrete evidence that states that the stop and frisk laws are the reason.
