Reasonable suspicion

In Plato's ideal state, there are three classes in society. There are the laborers and the guardians; the guardians are split up into two classes: the auxiliaries and the rulers. The auxiliaries are the soldiers of the state, and they carry out the decisions that are made by the rulers. The rulers job is to solve conflicts among the people of the state, and make decisions regarding policy. Plato says that the guardians need to be the people who have the most love for the community. The rulers…

drug test is legal in New York according to the Federal and state drug-free workplace program ("New York State Laws," 2016). Mandatory drug testing in New York may be conducted on the basis of reasonable suspicion. The employer in the case scenario demanded the employee take a drug test on reasonable suspicion because of the drugs found in the employee's company locker. The employer, therefore, must have required the employee to take the test to ascertain whether he was using the drugs and if…

boundaries. Lyle’s business is struggling to survive. He tells his wife that he wants to expand to other locations. Does this sound reasonable? A logical business person would suggest to cut cost or close the business down not to branch out as Lyle tells Jo. His whole rationale makes me believe he is hypocrite.…

Imagine being invaded at any point. The thought of someone going through my bags or locker is disturbing. When I go to school I shouldn’t have to worry about a teacher or staff member going through my locker. People put special or private things in their lockers. Obviously they don’t want other people looking through their locker. Should teachers have the right to look through student’s lockers or bags at anytime? On one view point, I agree with the thesis. The locker doesn’t actually belong to…

Being a police officer is a very risky and challenging profession. When performing their duty, they often encounter different kinds of circumstances. Circumstances that are unavoidable but usually preventable if they are armed with proper knowledge and training regarding situation before executing the task, like, when they conduct their search of a person, an automobile or of a crime scene. To have a better understanding regarding what the police need to conduct the search, in this paper, I will…

requirement of individualized suspicion, would neither overburden school officials in their efforts to preserve school discipline nor authorize "unrestrained intrusions" into students' realms of privacy. The Court stated that a suspicionless search can only be reasonable where the individual privacy interests affected are minimal and where the intrusion upon those privacy interests furthers a compelling government interest that would be jeopardized by an individualized suspicion…

Constitution should extend to students’ lockers and cell phones, protected under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments, which guarantee the privacy of the Person and possessions, as well as the right to life, liberty, and property. Without reasonable doubt and suspicion that the contents of a student’s locker and/or cell phone contain harmful, dangerous, or illegal contents, students should not have their personal belongings, messages, pictures, and other medias searched or seized. I also believe…

when a credit union has suspicions of check kiting. This exception falls under the category ‘Reasonable Cause to Doubt Collectability’, and allows a seven-business day hold on suspicious checks deposited by the member. A check hold prevents checks written by the member from clearing against uncollected funds. These checks will be returned unpaid to the other financial institution and the kite (and loss) will fall on that institution. When invoking the exception hold, Reasonable Cause to Doubt…

Under the Fourth Amendment, police may engage in “reasonable” searches and seizures. To prove that they are doing their job right, the police must generally show that it is more likely than not that a crime has occurred. And that if a search is conducted it is probable that they will find either stolen property of evidence of a crime, this is called probable cause in most cases. For the police to obtain a search warrant, they need reasonable suspicion that something has happen. The police then…

her up as perfect target for racial profiling (Warikoo, N. 2013). She was handcuffed, put into a jail cell and strip searched when there was neither a warrant nor reasonable suspicion (Warikoo, N. 2013). Racial profiling is undeniably unconstitutional, yet incidents like this still occur in the U.S. I believe this is due to the suspicion and fear that people have when dealing with people of different race. I think it is easy for people to make assumptions based off of racial appearance…
