    4th Amendment Importance

    I enjoy reading your post. I would say that one of the reasons the 4th Amendment is so important is that it is reflective of the Colonists' own experiences. The Colonists were outraged on many levels that British soldiers could enter their homes, seize their belongings, or search their property without any probable cause or authentic paperwork. The fact that warrant-less and groundless searches became so prevalent is one reason why the 4th Amendment strictly states that justification and authentication must accompany all searches and investigation of property and belongings. Another I would say that the 4th Amendment is important is that it represents a fundamental right of a person accused of wrongdoing in a legal sense. The 4th Amendment…

    Usa Patriot Act: Title Ii – Privacy on the Line

    The Patriot Act’s Title II is intended to safeguard American soil and her citizens from the clandestine activities, both electronically and conventionally, of terrorist organizations. Under the Act, law enforcement and intelligence communities are afforded greater access to surveillance procedures and enjoy a greater breadth of discretion when dealing with foreign nationals and immigrants on US soil. However, the Act disregards many of our basic constitutional rights. Those same…

    Lack Of Privacy In Judge Lynch's Clapper

    If Congress wanted to enact a law that allowed the government to collect the amount of data they were attempting to collect under Section 215, I would support it. I also believe that there is no expectation of privacy, due to the applicability of the third party doctrine. But I agree with Judge Lynch in this case, the government incorrectly used Section 215 to collect more data than was originally intended with this…

    Fourth Amendment Case Study

    In 1980 a high school teacher at a high school in New Jersey caught two girls smoking in one of the bathrooms. At that time students were allowed to smoke in some areas of the school but smoking in the bathroom was restricted. The teacher then proceeded to take them to the office where they met with the Assistant Vice Principal Theodore Choplick. T.L.O was one of the girls, she was a 14 year old freshman. T.L.O said that she had not been smoking but the second girl admitted that she had been smoking. Choplick then took T.L.O into his office and told her to let him see her purse. He opened the purse and found a pack of cigarettes, a package of cigarette rolling papers, a small amount of marijuana, a pipe, and some empty plastic bags. He also found a list of people who owed T.L.O money. Also contained within the letters was information that showed that T.L.O was selling marijuana. Choplick then called T.L.O’s mother as well as the police. When they arrived at the school Choplick gave the police…

    Pros And Cons Of The Fourth Amendment

    In my opinion, I believe that the 4th amendment is both good and bad depending on the circumstances. Sometimes there are people who blatantly have drugs that the cops can't frisk off until they have the warrant. By the time the police get the warrant, said suspect could have already gotten rid of the drugs. However, this also works the other way. Sometimes, the police search other people that they have false evidence on. Then this innocent person gets searched and it makes the searched person look bad in the future.…

    Three Distinct Rights: The Fourth Amendment

    The Fourth Amendment protects three distinct rights. They are liberty, property and privacy. Taking into consideration along with research and survey, I believe that each of these rights are equally important. Together they provide for a complete and well-rounded way of life. Without liberty, our lives would be limited to what the establishment would allow and therefore, what privacy could we have without the right of choice. Property would have no value without the liberty to use it as I desire.…

After September 11, and the terrorist attacked, President Bush passed the Patriot Act. Many people were unhappy because it allows police officers and federal agents to invade our privacy. Many laws passed into effect and all the police departments started to share information with ICE, FBI and other federal agencies, nationwide and locally.…
