James Obergefell and his partner John Arthur, legally married in the State of Maryland in 2013. However, their relevant state in which they reside was Ohio, where same sex marriage was not allowed.

James Thurber ranking among the great American humorists in the early twentieth century wrote a story called “University Days” sharing his experiences at Ohio State University. Author James Thurber makes implications by setting the humorous tone for it and showing his frustration about the Middle West higher education at that time. The writer commendably is not afraid of laughing at himself and makes an effort to appeal to realistic Americans concerned about the education of upcoming generations…

I remember when we moved from Ohio to the big city of New York. That was back in 1928; I had just turned twelve. The city was huge. Never in my life had I seen buildings this large. They were so big they actually appeared to touch the sky. Father saw New York as a better opportunity. He hoped to get a better job there than the mechanics shop he worked at in Ohio. Mother didn’t want to leave. She complained that Adam couldn’t handle the journey. She thought we should stay until he at least turned…

is allowed to search someone if they have the reasonable believe that this person is committing, has committed or is going to commit a crime. This search consists of a quick pat down of the outer clothing. Stop and Frisk started with the Terry vs. Ohio case, in 1976, in which a police officer suspected three men of being about to commit a crime. The officer pointed his gun at them in order to search them. One of the men named John Terry argued that the police officer did not have enough…

Sermonica — Symbolically, spiritually and in meaning this modest, spartan cabin, placed on high, held a very special spot in Rev. Burkhart's life. Facing south, with only room for a bed and a screened in 'porch' large enough for a small wood table to write on, it was designed to minimize man's intrusion. The view, stunningly beautiful with its long look of the lake, intensified the sense of something much bigger than oneself or indeed mankind. This perch could make anyone vulnerable to lofty…

Constitution, the Fourth Amendment guarantees citizens the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. In Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968), the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that a search is reasonable when police observe suspicious behavior and there is reasonable suspicion the individual is armed and dangerous. In Florida v. J.L., 529 U.S. 266 (2000), the Supreme…

growing up, and now having to learn an entirely new city and state. Although it might just be that it may be easier, since I am a bit older, so I might come to even better understanding of my surroundings. So we decided to move to Ohio, so we were staying in a camper in Logan, Ohio till we had found a house to move into. It was different living in the camper we had no internet, no cable, and it was quite secluded. You could almost say we were camping, but it was not horrible it was just very…

Q3. Describe a case incident where a ‘stop and frisk’ is allowed and rationale for it. A ‘stop and frisk’ is something when a police officer stops an individual or a group to question and further to search for weapons or any illegal activities under criminal circumstances. Search includes patting down i.e. checking an individual with hands from the top of the clothes and also removing upper part of clothes if the officer thinks the suspect is carrying some armed weapons and is dangerous. Many…

Stop and Frisk. As the lyric goes “I heard the mission bell, And I was thinking to myself , This could be heaven or this could be hell.” The policy of Stop and Frisk arose from the decision of United States Supreme Court in the matter of Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968). This seminal case gave police the right to stop a person on the street and question them and if they can establish reasonable suspicion that the individual either committed a crime or is about to commit a crime then they can…

Other exceptions include open fields, canine sniff, booking search and inventory, public safety, and officer safety. The purpose for this rule can be looked at like a way for law enforcements to conduct searches and seizures that do not violate the Fourth Amendment and individuals that have had their rights violated. This legal rule first made its appearance during the U.S. Supreme court case Weeks v. United States (1914). Freemont Weeks was arrested under suspicion of using the U.S. mail to…
