Search and seizure

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.

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…

“Freeze! put your hands up”. The purpose of the Miranda rights is to safeguard the Constitutional rights of each citizen of the United States of America.The fifth amendment of the Constitution in particular protects the person from incriminating themselves. Imagine if you got arrested and the fifth amendment is not read to you. “Have you been to jail? ‘No?’ Well now you are going there.” Do you ever fear you’re going to jail for no reason without warrant of arrest or trial by jury? How would you…

the police officers to search the resident, without the officers having to obtained a search warrant, and the police had significant probable cause to be at the resident. The prosecutor can argue that the consent from the accused wife was sufficient enough to search the resident, since she was a co-occupant of the resident. The prosecutor could argue that a warrant-less search conducted in the absence of probable cause is valid when one occupant give permission for the search, even if the other…

There is…

There are many definitions for the exclusionary rule, but to make it simple, I would say this rule was derived from the fourth, fifth, and sixth amendments of the United States.

As such many accused ended up being punished under very brutal and strict regulations. And also went through vigorous processes during the investigation process. Wikipedia defines the…
