Search and arrest warrants can be viewed as the exceptions to the fourth amendment rule. The fourth amendment states that ‘’ the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated’’ (LII / Legal Information Institute, 2016) The law further states that this can only be violated upon presentation of probable cause.

If you are arrested, the police can search you for anything you might use to help you escape or for evidence relating to the offence that has led to your arrest.

There is however, no concrete definition of arrest. It was deprived in Christie v Leachinsky (1947) that an arrest is ‘the beginning of imprisonment’, thereby suspects to a degree are physically restrained as they cannot be free to go wherever they like.

Jurisdiction has always been ubiquitous in the international legal system. Lassa Oppenheim describes jurisdiction essentially “as the state’s right to regulate conduct or the consequences of events.” Jurisdiction is multi-faceted, one area that has been the cause of controversy amongst many academics is universal jurisdiction.

If a serious violent has occurred, the police may enter and search without having any reasonable suspicious or any warrant. In Abby’s and Bobby’s situation there was reasonable suspicious to arrest Abby. This
respected. However the police must have sufficient powers to investigate crimes. Therefore Parliament has given the police special powers that can be used in certain circumstances. These powers include the rights to stop and search suspects, to arrest and interview people when necessary and to take fingerprints and samples (blood samples) for scientific analysis. Without the police having these certain powers then it would be nearly impossible to investigate any crimes. But it is also important
this but, did you know that there are actually three types of confrontations with a police officer? Now you are probably thinking what those three types could be. Well, the three types are consensual encounters, a detention and probable cause to an arrest. In this paper I will be informing you about what happens in each confrontation and also what you may and may not do. Consensual encounters are the most common type of confrontations between people and police officers. A consensual encounter is simply
Observation Report On November 17th, 2016 from the hours of 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, I had the opportunity to take part in a ride along with the Marietta police department. I chose to do a ride along because I believed it was the most interesting choice, and the choice that would require the most of me to step out of my comfort zone. As someone in the internet generation, I believe we are given a lot of false information and representation of police officers. Because of this, I wanted to have the opportunity

“Drug Use, Drug Possession Arrests, and the Question of Race: Lessons from Seattle” The article, “Drug Use, Drug Possession Arrests, and the Question of Race: Lessons from Seattle” written by Katherine Beckett, Kris Nyrop, and Lori Pfingst is about how the racialization of imagery surrounding drugs has had a major impact on institutional effects that shape police perception and practices. These effects could be the cause of the racial disparity that characterizes drug possession in Seattle. The

police had the probable cause to arrest Richie - he fit the description that they were given, and he was in possession of cocaine. I don’t think so - the police received a specific tip in terms of description, but no other information (such as a last name) that would allow a warrant to be issued. There may not have been time to issue a warrant. I think the police should be able to stop and question him, but they would need more probable cause to search and arrest him. The only information they had
the case of Michael Hugh Mirsky, who tells his personal story which highlights the struggle many men in America face. In 2012, Mr. Mirsky initially had lost his job working at Verizon which snowballed two years later into a conviction for resisting arrest. Due to the conviction, work is hard to find and this led to the threat of foreclosure of his home. Mr. Mirsky is unable to afford child support payments for his 8-year-old daughter. The search for a permanent position is near impossible, Mirsky
police officers are required to get a warrant to search any kind of property of the individual being arrested. These warrants require probable cause for the search of specific properties issued by an impartial judge. Those rights are protected by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Over the years, the United States Court has made exceptions to these requirements, which essentially allow the police to search certain types of property without a warrant and infuriating a lot of citizens
