-------------------------------------------------
IN FLAGRANTE DELICTO

What can you observed from this statement? “When, in his presence, the person to be arrested has committed, is actually committing, or is attempting to commit an offense;” the police officer is witness to the commission of the offense in other words he was caught in the act! The long standing rule therefore is that reliable information solely /alone would not suffice to justify warrantless arrest. The arresting officer must have personal knowledge . what do you mean by personal knowledge? He has actually seen it , heard it indicating that the person to be arrested has committing , was committing

    Section 24 Of PACE: Murray V UK 1995

    Subject to subsection (5) below, no arrest is lawful unless the person arrested is informed of the ground for the arrest at the time of, or as soon as is practicable after, the arrest . Article 5.2 of the ECHR also corresponds with section 28 as it is said that everyone who is arrested must be informed the reason for arrest in a language they understand.

    Fasano Case Summary

    In Fasano’s case, Officer Byrd and Officer Troy both work at the local police department and were investigating the hackings on campus. On the day in question, the officers arrested Fasano while wearing civilian attire. The officers still identified themselves as officers working on the case, displayed their police identification, and explained the search warrant they had for the residence. As a result of following up with a credible tip into the investigation and having a warrant for the premises already, the probable cause needed from Henes is established. Therefore, the officers were working in their official capacity when Fasano stalled them during their investigation.…

    Ken Krooks Case Study

    Under what is known as the Plain View Doctrine is called a search-related plain view, referring to items that are identified by the responding officer who was authorized to specifically search for it. In this particular case, the officer was authorized to search for a white, 6’0 tall individual who was wearing a black baseball cap, black t-shirt, and jeans. Even though this description is vague, this individual was in the area of the crime, did match the description, and acted merely suspicious in the officer’s presence. This initially identification is where the detention had occurred in this particular case. The plain view doctrine also states that an officer has the ability to make a warrantless seizure of an object that is involved in a crime if the officer can identify the object in plain view (Terry v. Ohio,…

    Axia Cjs Lawful Search and Seizure

    The police did not conduct a lawful search and seizure under the guidelines set forth in the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment states that search and seizure can occur during an arrest warrant that is being carried out but the "the area within control" of the suspect. The area within control was eventually decided as being the reach of arms length from the suspect. This is a lawful act designed to prevent the suspect from engaging in dangerous behavior towards others and also for the protection of any evidence the suspect may attempt to destroy. The suspect was not at the dwelling when officers arrived therefore no search and seizure should have taken place. Police officers were notified that the suspect was not present upon arrival and entry of the home. There were no reasonable causes for police to suspect that items dangerous to themselves were inside the home.…

    Because It’s Probable: Reviewing Probable Cause, Warrants, Searches, Arrests, and How They Intertwine.

We will review different scenarios involving probable cause and the different court rulings that govern police and other law enforcement officer’s procedures involving the searching of a residence, arresting offenders, and the use of warrants. Due, to the inconsistency and complexity involved in real life situations, a multiplicity of use involving warrants, probable cause, searches, and other police actions can occur.…

    Cja 364 Probable Cause Research Paper

    We have already gone over the exclusionary rules associated with unwarranted searches and seizures, now we need to look at warranted searches and seizures. The Fourth Amendment requires that no warrants be issued unless based on probable cause by a sworn Affirmation, this applies to all warrants whether they are for search or seizure. In order to understand the concept behind warrants, we must also understand probable cause. The Supreme Court has defined probable cause as more than mere suspicion. The facts an officer is acting upon must be enough to convince the average person that the suspect committed or is committing the offense being investigated. (Worrall, 2012) In the academy they stressed this as less than beyond a reasonable doubt, but more than a hunch; which leaves a large area in between.…

    Analysis: Why Cops Are Called Pigs

    False Arrest...Generally speaking, an arrest is defined as any type of situation that you are involved in with an officer where you are not free to leave. If you are under arrest, the next question that should then be asked is what is the reason for the arrest. If the officer does not have a valid reason for arresting you, then you may have a false arrest claim. Take the following example. A police officer sees a young lad standing on the corner, alone, minding his own business. The officer comes up to young man and tells him that he must submit to a search (pat down search). The boy says no and the officer tells him that he must submit. The boy again says no and the officer forces him into the squad car and takes him down to the station. After searching the boy at the station and checking his background, the officer releases him. The young man has a valid false arrest claim. He was arrested without any valid basis whatsoever and brought down into the…

    Exclusionary Rule: A Case Study

    Exclusionary Rule: A Case Study

    The exclusionary rule prohibits illegally obtained evidence from being used in a criminal trial (Hall, 2015). Furthermore, the exclusionary rule applies to prevent unconstitutionally obtained evidentiary submissions, and the rule is applicable to items or confessions (Hall, 2015). After reviewing the exclusionary rule I feel it should be applied to illegal arrests too, unless the police obtain sufficient evidence independent of the illegal arrest. In the case of State v. Eserjose police made an illegal arrest of the defendant for second-degree burglary; however, during an interview the Mr. Eserjose was read his Miranda rights, and he chose to waive his rights, ultimately confessing to the burglary (Ma, 2013). Subsequently, Mr. Eserjose’s…

    Describe An Example Of Reasonable Ground Of Opinion Analysis

    When officers make an arrest without a warrant, they act at their own peril and are allowed no margin of error. Why is this statement written so stringently? The reason the statement is written so stringently is because when an arrest is made the suspect has his rights taken away. This means if the suspect is innocent his rights were taken wrongly. This can open lawsuits for the peace officer.…
