Terry Nichols

police fears for their safety they move on to the next step, to frisk the person for any weapons or other illegal contrabands. The term “reasonable suspicion” and for a police officer to have such thing, in order to stop a person arose out of the case Terry v. Ohio (1968). This case changed policing because prior to it, police officers needed “probable cause” to stop someone, meaning that the officer has sufficient information to believe the person has committed or is about to…

Stop & 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…

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…

As a child, having rules to follow wasn’t unheard of with my family. There was always a way to behavior with friends/family, at school, at home and out in the street. Often I found myself getting into trouble because I didn 't listen and also the fact that I always found some kind of way to slipping out of having to doing something that I knew I was supposed to do. But out of all the people in my family my mom was the strictest. When expectations set high, not meaning them meant my siblings and…

When you feel your bubble break, you feel a sense of trying to overcome this obstacle. When you feel your heart torn apart, you have the need to stitch it back together. When you feel the walls have been leveled and what’s left is the rubble, you in desperation cling to your last hope. I felt the reverberations shaking the foundation I had. Weeping as the foundation shook and shook, I felt at moment tranquil. Suddenly, after overcoming an obstacle barely, I felt my whole world losing it’s…

Sequence is a learning pattern in today 's world and I am one point shot of using it as needed. I do avoid this though, mainly because I hate schedules and for the most part, it 's because it mentally exhausts me to have an organized life. Who has that? I can 't live by a calendar. On the other hand, I do use post-it sticky notes through out the day at home and at work because I am very forgetful. If I didn 't use them, I will be in so much trouble not completing tasks or projects at my work;…

Compared to the personal speech assignment, I felt the informative speech, in general, is a more challenging assignment. Since it basically combines a research paper and a speech, it was very time-consuming to finish all the requirement, especially it was in the midterm period. But after all, I found a way to balance the time to finish this assignment and gave a effective speech to the class. And I found myself gradually gain experience and confidence in the speech class. Based on the previous…

In the classroom, you have many things that can help you faster. Such as an instructor/ teacher, other students, and also you can learn from others with the help and different ways of doing and thinking things. Online however, is better to me because you have to force yourself to read, do homework, and make sure you have the right management. Where in school you may not have to work as hard because there are others around and some people like myself can get easily distracted. At home on the…
