What arguments can be made for and against expanding the prohibitions of the Fourth Amendment to include security personnel?\t\u00a0\t\u00b7What is the rationale for excluding from trial evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment? Is this a compelling justification for the exclusion of criminal evidence from the trial of a defendant accused of a serious felony such as aggravated battery?\t\u00a0\t\u00b7The Supreme Court has created a “good-faith”\ufffd exception to the exclusionary rule where police rely on a search warrant that is later held to be invalid because the magistrate erred in finding probable cause for a search. Should the good-faith exception be extended to cases where police acting in good faith conduct\u00a0warrantless\u00a0searches that are later held to be unlawful?\t\u00a0\t2.Page 509, Text: Questions for Thought and Discussion Questions 1, 4, and 9\t\u00b7Practically speaking, what is the difference between “probable cause”\ufffd and “reasonable suspicion”\ufffd? How long can police detain a suspect based on reasonable suspicion?\t\u00a0\t\u00b7In the\u00a0Miranda\u00a0case, the Supreme Court released a convicted rapist to impose a requirement that police advise suspects of their constitutional rights before conducting interrogations. Was the Court’s decision a wise one? What has been the impact of the\u00a0Miranda\u00a0decision on law enforcement?\t\u00a0\t\u00b7Are the courts correct in limiting the scope of the Fifth Amendment Self-Incrimination Clause to verbal statements so that there is no constitutional protection against compulsory police identification procedures? What would be the implications for law enforcement if the courts included physical evidence like fingerprints or handwriting samples within the scope of the Fifth Amendment privilege?\t\u00a0\t3.Page 510, Text: Problems for Discussion and Solution: Question 2\t\u00b7A police officer on night patrol saw a car parked off a dirt road in an area known to be a “lovers’ lane.”\ufffd As his cruiser approached the car, he observed a male and a female sitting inside. He noticed the male occupant make a movement that the officer interpreted as an attempt to hide something under the seat. The officer approached the vehicle and directed the occupants to get out. As they did, he observed a marijuana “roach”\ufffd in the open ashtray. The officer then reached under the front seat and retrieved a small quantity of marijuana. The officer placed both individuals under arrest. In court, the officer admitted that he was not concerned for his safety but simply had a “hunch”\ufffd that the couple could be “doing drugs.”\ufffd Did the officer make a legal arrest? Why or why not?\t\u00a0\t4.Page 547″\ufffd548, Text: Questions for Thought and Discussion: Questions 1, 9, and 11\t\u00b7Have the courts gone too far or not far enough in requiring that indigent defendants be represented by counsel at public expense?\t\u00a0\t\u00b7Compare the advantages and disadvantages to the defendant of insisting on the right to a speedy trial.\t\u00a0\t\u00b7Does the grand jury still play a viable role in the criminal justice system? Are the criticisms of the grand jury valid? Why or why not?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
