I originally posted this rubric for the essay to be done in full but what was required was only fulfilled half way. The professor left this note on my essay with the grade of a 35.

“You earned 85/100 but the score of 100 points is divided between two cases; one procedural and one about state law. You only presented one type of case in this document and as such you lose 50 points, half of the points, right off the top thus leaving 35 earned. Please see my comments below about each section.

If you choose to revise this document and add a second case to the discussion you may do so and I’m going to open an additional attempt in blackboard now for that purpose. The choice is yours, but I encourage you to do so. Please let me know if you need further clarification or instruction.”

I will post the requirements again with those further instructions and i will attach the original essay so it can be added on to.

Legal research serves as a gateway to locate cases that interpret key areas of substantive and procedural criminal law. From there, understanding how to read the case is integral to using the case for guidance on parameters. The issue is the question presented to the court for review. That question is based on whether what took place at the trial can be challenged as incorrect and impacting the outcome of the case. The appellate court, in reaching the decision, includes the law relied on as support for the decision. That includes statutory law, from legislatures, and other court rulings, where prior courts interpreted the law.

Using the HeinOnline legal research database, use the Fastcase search to locate one U.S. Supreme Court case involving a criminal procedure issue. Searching law in your state, locate one case involving any criminal law issue.

In a 45 page paper:

Identify the key facts from each case and the issues presented to the courts.
Describe the laws relied on by the courts in reaching the decisions.
Illustrate the connection between that authority and the way the courts ruled.
Explain the interpretations of constitutional protections based on the decisions.
Describe philosophical underpinnings and public policy influences.
Relate the importance of conducting this case analysis to a criminal justice career.
Be sure to review the Criminal Procedure in Motion Scoring Guide to ensure that you understand the criteria for this assignment.

Competency 3: Explain the substantive and procedural interpretations of individual freedoms based on case analysis.

Assignment Description
Understanding the foundation of Fourth Amendment protections will help you understand how the interpretation and line-drawing has changed over time to reflect public policy and changes in society. Prepare a 3-page paper, citing a minimum of three academically verified references and addressing the following points:

Describe the type of search the framers of the Constitution prohibited through the Fourth Amendment.
Explain how prohibiting that type of search would address historical problems.
Fast-forwarding to today, you are a police officer getting ready to request a search warrant for an apartment suspected to contain illegal drugs. You know that warrants are generally issued with a knock-and-announce requirement. You are concerned that the occupants will destroy the evidence, and you have heard that some judges will give police a no-knock warrant authorizing officers to enter certain premises without first knocking and announcing their presence or purpose. Using the HeinOnline legal research database for your state, locate one case that provides insight into whether this type of warrant should be requested, and apply the case to the determination by reaching a supported conclusion.
Assume the warrant was requested. Upon arrival you look in the window and see that the drugs are in plain view near the front door, out of reach of any of the occupants. Determine whether you should ignore this new information and enter without announcing. Cite one case from your state to support your position.
Be sure to review the Fourth Amendment, Policies, and Society Scoring Guide to ensure that you understand the criteria for this assignment.

Fourth Amendment in Motion
Competencies Addressed in This Discussion
Competency 3: Explain the substantive and procedural interpretations of individual freedoms based on case analysis.
Competency 4: Document philosophical underpinnings and public policy influences associated with U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
Competency 5: Communicate effectively in writing.
Introduction
Officer Tyler is standing close to a high school watching the foot traffic. Mike is walking to school, minding his own business. Mike appears older than he is, often being mistaken for someone in college. Officer Tyler is standing in Mike’s path, looking directly at Mike. Mike needs to walk around the officer to continue on his way. Mike is nervous, since the officer is staring at him as he approaches. When Mike is a few feet away, Officer Tyler says, “Let me see some ID.” Mike forgot his identification and tells the officer that he has no ID. The officer directs Mike to empty his pockets. Mike initially starts to do so, but then refuses.

For your main response, address the following:

At that juncture, did Officer Tyler have the right to make the request?
Did Mike have the right to refuse?
What can Officer Tyler do, if anything, after the refusal?
What if Mike then turned and ran from the officer after yelling, “You have no right to ask me to do anything, I was just walking to school and I am scared of you”?
What if, when running, Mike pulled from his pocket and threw away what appeared to be a small bag of cocaine?

Competencies Addressed in This Assignment
Competency 3: Explain the substantive and procedural interpretation of individual freedoms based on case analysis.
Competency 4: Document philosophical underpinnings and public policy influences associated with U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
Competency 5: Communicate effectively in writing.
The exclusionary rule was created by judges, through case law, to prevent police misconduct. It prohibits the use of evidence obtained in violation of a person’s constitutional rights. The exclusionary rule was established in the case of Weeks v. United States (1914) for federal application and was subsequently applied to the states in the 1961 case of Mapp v. Ohio.

You have been tasked with putting together a training presentation for a new class in the academy. The presentation will address the exclusionary rule, the impacts of the exclusionary rule, and exceptions to the exclusionary rule. In PowerPoint format, address the following:

The circumstances that gave rise to the creation of the exclusionary rule, citing the Weeks case.
The circumstances that gave rise to the extension of the exclusionary rule to the states, citing the Mapp case.
How public policy impacts the balancing of individual rights and societal needs in a Fourth Amendment interpretation.
How the courts have interpreted the exclusionary rule since its creation in your specific jurisdiction, using two court cases as examples.
How one possible exception to the exclusionary rule works, using the following scenario for analysis: You are a supervising police officer and one of your rookie patrol officers, Patrolman Mark, asks you a question about something that happened on his shift. Along with Officer Kennedy, Mark tells you he was executing a search warrant issued for 221B Elm Street. Unfortunately, they went to 212B Elm Street instead and entered the home of Ms. Cook, finding a stack of laptops that turned out to be stolen property. Cook thought she had been caught and did not complain about the search warrant issue. Mark says he is glad they caught Cook but does not want to get in trouble. Is Mark in trouble for the search?
The impact of the court decisions on police procedure.
