    Arizona Vs Johnson Case Summary

    In 2002, Lemon Montrea Johnson was the passenger in the backseat of a car stopped for a traffic violation. Johnson was charged with; inter alia, possession of drugs and possession of a weapon by a felon. These items were discovered during a protective pat-down search of Johnson. Johnson was convicted by the trial court. Johnson argued that his conviction should be overturned because the trial court was in error by denying his motion to suppress the evidence. He argued that he had been unlawfully “seized” because being a passenger in a vehicle does not automatically constitute “seizure.” He furthered argued that even if he had been “seized,” that by the time Officer Trevizo searched him he was no longer “seized” as their conversation had become consensual. Furthermore, the evidence should not be considered because the search violated his Fourth Amendment rights and because the…

    Pennsylvania Vs Mimms

    This giving the officer reasonable suspicion that the person in the car may be armed and dangerous considering the broken tail light as well as the same vehicle description. Based on these hunches, as well as Pennsylvania vs. Mimms, “In Mimms, the U.S. Supreme Court noted that statistics indicated that 30 percent of the officers shot in the line of duty were shot as they approached a vehicle. The Court held that when officers make a traffic stop, they may routinely order the driver out of the car without giving any reason.” (Roberson, Wallace & Stuckey pg 83) Also, in my opinion this officer was now in the process of performing a terry-type-stop which is “A detention that will ordinarily be for a fairly short duration and that will be no longer than necessary to effectuate the purpose of the detention.” (Roberson, Wallace & Stuckey pg 405). For those reasons, I feel strongly that officer Smith 's choice on performing a pat down was…

    Evidence that the shopkeeper denied the suspect access to basic necessities may also support a finding that the detainment was not carried out in a reasonable manner. For example, in the Koepnick case, the suspect was approached by store employees in an unlit area of the parking lot which led him to believe the two were trying to “hustle” him. While one employee blocked the suspect’s path, the other grabbed his shopping bag, took the wrench from the bag, and waved it at him. Koepnick, 762 P.2d at 617. The mistreatment continued when the employees pushed the suspect around and refused his requests to use the telephone and to get a drink of water. The Arizona Court of Appeals upheld the trial court’s denial of the shopkeeper’s motion for a directed verdict on the issue of reasonableness of detention. Id. at…

    Terry Stop Case Study

    A "Terry Stop" is a stop of a person by law enforcement officers based upon "reasonable suspicion" that a person may have been engaged in criminal activity, whereas an arrest requires "probable cause" that a suspect committed a criminal offense. The name comes from the standards established in a 1968 case, Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S.1. The issue in the case was whether police should be able to detain a person and subject him to a limited search for weapons without probable cause for arrest. The court held that police may conduct a limited search of a person for weapons that could endanger the officer or those nearby, even in the absence of probable cause for arrest and any weapons seized may be introduced in evidence. When a police officer observes…

    Dixon Case

    The WACC for Collinsville, according to our estimations, came up to about 16.22% (Exhibit I). We took the average of the unlevered betas of comparable companies, 0.91, and relevered it according to Dixon’s target capital structure. Dixon’s 5-year historical debt ratio was 27.5%, but this approach would not be reliable due to its steep downturn debt ratio from 51% in 1975 to 6% in 1979. Thus, we thought that the best estimate of the target debt ratio is 15% for calculation of the WACC.…

    stop and frisk

    Under the U.S constitution, the 4th amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures such as “Stop and Frisk”. The “Stop and Frisk” law allows police officers to stop someone if they have reasonable evidence, but tribunes are abusing that power by stopping individuals based off seeing furtive movements and not on actual evidence which is unconstitutional. In his article “Why Stop and Frisk Matters, Even if You Don’t Live in New York” Andrew Cohen States “One example of poor training is particularly telling. Two officers testified to their understanding of the term ‘furtive movements’. One explained that ‘furtive movements’ is a very broad concept, and could include a person ‘changing direction’…”. This is a shoddy reason to stop an individual based off furtive movements because it is important for police to muster evidence that proves an individual is guilty. In her article “Growing up with Stop and Frisk” Sara Maria Glanowski states “Earlier this week, a federal judge ruled…
