Seizure trigger

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…

Frisk The practice of stop and frisk first began with Terry vs. Ohio. The 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…

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…

Constitution to give citizens rules to abide. Amendments are the rules that the citizens have to follow such as freedom of speech, the right to bear arms and the right of privacy. The fourth amendment is the right to privacy such as no unreasonable seizures and searches to your personal belongings and property without any warrants. A search usually has to be based on probable cause- a reasonable basis to believe that the person can be linked to a crime (Remy, 2016). In this case, the topic about…

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. Many cases before this rule did not grant the accused the many perks the exclusionary rule offers the people of the united states now. 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…

Mr. Balestrero experiencing a little quiver of uneasiness, asked what they wanted.” Hitchcock cannot transfer these…

Barrett (1998) states, Chief Justice Warren had initially approached this decision on the basis that the stop in the Terry case was appropriate. It was Justice Brennan who eventually persuaded Chief Justice Warren to render a decision which put forth the new “reasonable suspicion” standard (Barrett, 1998, 793-821). If Chief Justice Warren…
