Private Search Account: The Rowley Case

108 Words1 Page

Professor Corley, I do believe in the private search document. With the Rowley case, I do believe it should apply. Since the father gave permission to come into the house and handed the officer the items willingly, I do believe that it was a legal search. Rowley had given his parents full permission to watch his belongings which meant that since the items were in the truck in the possession of the parents then it would have been a legal search. Also with his father willingly let the officer in and handed the items over to the officer wilingly then there was no need for a search

    They have also said that it is reasonable for any officer to do an immediate area search of where that individual is to make sure that they can not grab anything for a weapon like for example a knife. The Supreme Court clearly notes in its opinion that such searches have to happen in the immediate area of arrest and any such search outside that area must be made with a search warrant. In Chimel case the officers could have patted down Chimel and then done a search of the immediate area to make sure that no weapons were hiding around. But once they began looking all around the house that requires a search warrant. The Supreme Court reversed the California Supreme Court’s

Payton was not home at the time of the entry but in plain view officers found a shell casing that was used for evidence.

    Significance: The Supreme Court here expresses that governmental conduct like drug dog sniffing that can reveal whether a substance is contraband, yet no other private fact, does not compromise any privacy interest, and therefore is not a search subject to the Fourth Amendment. Terry v. Ohio permits only brief investigative stops and extremely limited searches based on reasonable suspicion including seizures of property independent of the seizure of the

    Constable Dan had reasonable grounds to believe that Frank was carrying illegal weapons. The suspicion arose when the sniffer dog took interest in Frank’s backpack. Frank thought that running away would prevent him from being caught, however, constable Dan noticed that Frank was running thus, tackling him to the ground and detaining him until another police officer attended the scene. Although this arrest is not valid in the sense that Frank was not specifically told that he was under arrest, the arrest still occurred because Frank was being detained. Constable Dan then had the power to search Frank’s back pack as his power under Section 3ZH of the crimes Act states; “If a person who has been arrested for an offence is brought to a police station, a constable may: if an ordinary search of the person has not been conducted--conduct an ordinary search of the person” (Crimes Act 1914 (Cth),

  • Summary: The Case Of California Vs. Greenwood

    276 Words  | 2 Pages

    The case of California v. Greenwood involves police who were investigating a potential drug trafficker, Greenwood. The police, who were acting on information that suggested that Greenwood could possibly be engaged in narcotics trafficking, obtained trash that Greenwood had left on the curb in front of his home. Considering the trash included items indicative of narcotics use, the police then obtained warrants to search Greenwood’s home, discovered controlled substances during their searches, and subsequently arrested respondents on felony narcotics charges. The issue in this case was whether the Fourth Amendment prohibits the warrantless search and seizure of trash left for collection outside the curtilage of a home.

  • Justice Brennan's Case: The Terry Vs. Ohio Case

    425 Words  | 2 Pages

    After reviewing Justice Brennan’s dissenting opinion, I cannot agree with his argument that a conducting a protective sweep surpasses the purpose of the Terry v. Ohio decision. Justice Brennan agreed that a protective sweep was not a full-blown search, but it was much more intrusive than a limited pat down for weapons or the frisk of an automobile (Sifferlen, 1991). Also, Justice Brennan also stated he believed officers’ should possess probable cause to initiate a protective sweep of a home (Sifferlen, 1991). The Terry v. Ohio decision permits law enforcement officers to perform a pat down of the outer clothing, when the officer has reasonable suspicion to believe the subject he or she is dealing with, is armed and dangerous (Hall, 2015). The main purpose of Terry v. Ohio decision is to locate weapons that may be used to hurt the

    Nowadays, “privacy” is becoming a popular conversation topic. Many people believe that if they do not do anything wrong in the face of technology and security, then they have nothing to hide. Professor Daniel J. Solove of George Washington University Law School, an internationally known expert in privacy law, wrote the article Why Privacy Matters Even if You Have ‘Nothing to Hide’, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education in May of 2011. Solove explains what privacy is and the value of privacy, and he insists that the ‘nothing to hide’ argument is wrong in this article.

  • Probable Cause Of Arrest

    Sometimes police need to conduct a search and seizure, but do not have a valid warrant. Circumstances that lead to this scenario are that there are exigent/emergency situations, consent is given, or the individual(s) do not have the expectation of privacy. The police usually do not need a warrant if the life of someone is at risk. In some cases, police do not need a warrant to search a vehicle. Furthermore, if an individual voluntarily gives consent to be searched or have their property searched, the police do not need a warrant; however, police have to keep in mind that they cannot go further to what the consent encompassed.

    The invasion of privacy was both problematic and unethical. At the time Humphreys’ research homosexuality was a crime in most of the U.S. If the police had got hold of his data, these men could be arrested and sentenced to years in prison. Furthermore, it could have imposed a bad image on sociologists and it could have made future research more difficult. Humphrey’s, (1975) convincing defense on his efforts to protect his respondents’ privacy from public (not from him), did not change the fact that he did violate their privacy.

    Ohio (1961), the Supreme Court trusted that the Constitution charged the exclusionary rule as a remaking of a Fourth Amendment infringement. They saw the truths of the sample, the exclusionary rule which was the assurance of somebody 's protection furthermore required by the Due Process which portrayed the Fourteenth Amendment. The rule stated three purposes by the Mapp Court, the right given by the constitution and stated that when police admitted that they were at fault, judges then extended the violations in court. This would stop misconduct for negligence since the case of Mapp the Supreme Court has seized out many exceptions to the exclusionary rule. I would agree with exclusionary rule, searches are easy to get permission from most defendants.
