Pros And Cons Of Jessica Gonzales
Jessica Gonzales claimed that the Castle Rock Police Department violated her rights under the Due Process Clause of the Constitution by their inaction to enforce her restraining order. She argued that holders of restraining orders are entitled to “reasoned and good faithed consideration and a good faithed assessment of probable cause,” which she claims she did not receive. She said she felt that she had a contract with the Castle Rock Police that they would enforce her restraining order. She also claimed that the police’s refusal to enforce the order lead to the death of her three daughters. Jessica Gonzales said that if a restraining order is not enforced it has no purpose and is useless.

    Justice Black also believes the command that no unreasonable searches or seizures be allowed is too little to infer such a large decision. With these differences aside Justice Black feels that along with previous court decisions that the "Fourth Amendment's ban against unreasonable searches and seizures is considered together with the Fifth Amendment's ban against compelled self-incrimination, a constitutional basis emerges which not only justifies, but actually requires the exclusionary…

    Deadly Force Case Study

    • 631 Words
    • 3 Pages

    This ruling was appealed and eventually overturned by the Court of Appeals finding that this case violated the 4th amendment protections, finding that the use of deadly force is an absolute seizure of one's person and is subject to the same necessary reasonableness requirements. This finding is extremely important as it changes a legal standard for all police in the United States after the Supreme Court hears the case and delivers its affirmation of the Appeals Court response in 1985. Since 1985 police have followed the guidelines in law that resulted from the Supreme Court findings. The fleeing felon laws would now require the felon to be “violent” felon which posed a direct threat to the public or other police. The officer would be required to be able to articulate why he or she believed this suspect to be a threat and why they were believed to be a violent felon. The high court also found that no factual evidence existed at that time to support the argument that the threat of deadly force against fleeing felons would result in less fleeing felons and more successful arrests. The court found this policy is only more likely to end in deceased suspects without the benefits of criminal justice…

    As said by the Fourth Amendment, " the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against an unreasonable search and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things be seized." In simplest terms the Fourth Amendment says that all searches are to be conducted under authority of a warrant( Barany). Many times this amendment is violated which can result in the dismissal of a case, release of a guilty suspect, or the arrest of an innocent individual that was not properly been given his or her rights.
