Stop and Frisk have been in practice in policing for many years now. However, the policy was enacted or better said put into full effect during the Bloomberg era in the New York City area. This policy of stop and frisk was created to decrease crimes by getting guns and contrabands off the streets. But before a police officer proceeds to stop a civilian to stop and frisk them, they must have “reasonable suspicion” meaning that based on their training and experience they should be able to…
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 uniformed or plain clothed officer, deems a suspect as being armed and dangerous. The…
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…
Is Google Too Powerful? The Internet is a relatively new concept, created for the American military and for post-secondary institutions to be able to share information with each other easier and faster. The Internet however began to catch on in the public but was far too complicated and cluttered for most average civilians to use it effectively. It was with that thought that Google was born. Sergey Brin and Larry Page, two students at Stanford University in California, developed Google. Page…
An overview of most recent services and algorithms used by smart assistants - Google Now, Siri and Cortana Introduction <> The brain of Cortana is all in Bing, so Bing powers Cortana. All the cloud services and all you can find on Bing, Cortana knows; for that reason she becomes smarter and smarter every day. Actually, when the user is doing speech recognition, when the user is talking to his phone, the focus is only on what Cortana says, but the user assumes that she will understand,…

stakeholders. The first of these, and the stakeholders of primary importance to Google, are users. Users are the “individuals and organisations that use Google’s products” although they often do not directly pay for the use of products such as Google’s search engine (Meyer, 2017). It is evident that this is the most important group of stakeholders to Google from their philosophy of focusing on “user experience before anything else” (Polsky, 2014). Google’s fundamental method of communication…
Stop and Frisk are all about numbers. Commonly in each video the discussion of meeting the quota or getting numbers, is brought up several times. Through out watching the videos there were several concepts that I wanted to discuss. My first reaction was stop and frisk should be eliminated, because people’s rights and privacy are being violated. Then I thought wait a minute maybe it shouldn’t be stopped, but rather tweaked on how the stop and frisks are being carried out. I felt that officers…
“The abduction of a child is a tragedy. No one can fully understand nor appreciate what a parent goes through at such a time, unless they have faced a similar tragedy. Every parent responds differently. Each parent copes with this nightmare in the best way he or she knows how. “ John Wash , one of the best know parents of an abducted child, spoke out about the fact that there are no possible way to predict the way that families cope, and this is why the way of investigating these abductions can…
"probable cause," meaning there was reasonable basis for the officers to believe that a crime may have been committed when they heard "Some movement inside the apartment.” This justifies an exigent circumstance, where some Courts find a warrantless search or seizure completely acceptable; this is an exception to the general requirement of a warrant under the Fourth Amendment searches and seizures. Exigent circumstances occur when a law enforcement officer has probable cause and no sufficient…
