On 06-21-2017 at 2153 hours I was dispatched to 333 South Westwood Boulevard (Walmart) in reference to shoplifting.

A short time later Officer Duckett attempted to stop a vehicle matching the description provided however the driver of the vehicle failed to stop. See Officer Duckett’s supplemental report. I responded to the location where the…
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…
The policy that the New York Police Department has is questionable, with the information that given in the article. The article states, "The stop-and-frisk policy -- in which police stop, question and frisk people they deem suspicious, even if they've committed no crime -- has been one of the most controversial policing techniques in recent time, fueled by clashes between civil rights and civil liberties groups challenging the practice as racist and illegal" (Boyette & Martinez, 2013, p.1). I do…
Stop and frisk is an unjust crime prevention that gives permission to provided police officers to stop a person and frisk them based on “reasonable suspicions” of possible criminal activities. Although nowadays it seems to be a way for police officers to harass people on the street specifically minorities.

court. We can’t just arrest someone for bearing arms, after all, it states in the second amendment that people have the right to bear arms. I firmly believe that we should pay more attention to this issue, the fact that law enforcement agents can search us without a warrant just because they felt like we were suspicious, because this issue often gets abused. It seems like every single time I turn the tv on and switch the channel to the news, I always hear of a new…

Indeed, the Terry search principle was regarded, and the limit to which it was supposed to be conducted was reviewed, Terry vs. Ohio case. The court further went into other cases that had resolved issues on the fourth amendment and the Terry search (Minnesota v Dickerson, 1993). Indeed, in Michigan vs. Long, the Court held that in the context of that case, a Terry search allowed the search of the individual and passenger’s compartments of the automobile…
In the first article “is Google Making Us Stupid” by Nicholas Carr the main purpose that the author is trying to convey is how online searching and the quick return of the information from searching sites such as Google has affected the way we view and consume information. The author persistently states that to the instantaneous nature that the internet has created a just skimming culture in which information is just browsed and not digested or processed. To prove his argument he uses a number…
