Ordering Meyers to stop, he was immediately detained and subjected to an investigatory stop. Yet, officers did not know the identity of their suspect prior to Meyers’ detainment. Because officers were unaware as to the suspect’s identity, it suggests they did not know whether Meyers was parlayed to a crime, a victim, a suspect and or even armed. Nonetheless, officers acted based on unknown information at the time and therefore lacked the specific and articulable facts to establish reasonable suspicion that Meyers engaged in criminal activity.

    628 Words  | 3 Pages

    Victims’ Rights in Liberal and Conservative States Hawaii and Tennessee are liberal and conservative states respectively because the former has a strong stand on equity among individuals while the later strongly believes in good morals. The criminal victims’ rights were founded in the 1970s due to victim marginalization that existed for a long period (Caplan 224).

The criminal victims’ rights of these two states have both similarities and differences, and the states consider themselves liberal and conservative respectively due to their different belief in the role of the government.
