The police asked Shankar for his licence, registration, and insurance. The accused handed over a licence in the name of Jason Singh, the insurance information handwritten on an informal yellow sticky note, and a photocopy of the vehicle registration.

    There is only one car on the street that is visible to the police officers and that is the car belonging to the couple. The officer put his hand on top of the car and it was still warm. The wife stated to the officer that she has not touched the car all day, while the husband states he last used the car 4 hours ago when he got home from work. When the officers arrived on the scene, they observed the man staggering up the doorway and saw what appeared to be a set of keys fall while the husband is walking towards the house and put the keys into his pocket. The officer performed a sobriety test on the husband and he failed the test, having a .20. Another important fact is that the address where all this is happening is the same address where the domestic violence call was made.…

    Drunk-driving cases present a per se exigency, the arguments and the record do not provide the Court with an adequate analytic framework for a detailed discussion of all the relevant factors that can be taken into account in determining the reasonableness of acting without a warrant.

    Harold Shipman, was a British doctor and one of the most prolific serial killers in recorded history with up to 250 proven murders between 1971 and 1998. In total, 459 people died while under his care, but it is uncertain how many of those were Shipman's victims, as he was often the only doctor to certify a death. On 31 January 2000, a jury found Shipman guilty of 15 murders. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and the judge recommended that he never be released. After his trial, The Shipman Inquiry began on 1st September 2000, lasting almost two years it was an investigation into all deaths certified by Shipman. About 80% of his victims were women, his youngest victim being a 41 year old man. Much of Britain's legal structure concerning health care and medicine was reviewed and modified as a direct and indirect result of Shipman's crimes. Shipman is the only British doctor who has been found guilty of murdering his patients. Shipman died on the 13th January 2004 after hanging himself in his cell at Wakefield Prison.…
