    W.T. Grant Case

    During the mid 1960s Grant was determined to modify its strategy and align itself in a different section of the market. One aspect of this strategy was to rapidly expand into suburban shopping centers and on the other hand, Grant also wanted to modify its product line (product mix). This rapid expansion required Grant to increase their physical store space to accommodate new items in their existing stores, in addition to an overall change in product mix (including larger items such as furniture and appliances). Not only did they have to increase their existing store space, they also needed to sequester new properties (which they did via long-term lease agreements) in suburban areas in order serve a different breed (type) of customer (of the upscale variety).…

    Dethorne Graham's Objective Reasonableness

    On November 12, 1984, Dethorne Graham was starting to recognize the onset of a diabetic reaction. He knew what he needed and he asked one of his friends to drive him to the nearest convenience store. Graham walked away from the car towards the convenience store without noticing the police officer, Connor, that was sitting across the road. Although once Graham got in the store and realized how many people were in the store he quickly walked out thinking it would be faster to go somewhere else. Connor then saw this happen and decided to follow them and pulled them over a little ways down the road. The driver, William Berry tried to tell Connor that Graham was a diabetic but Connor did not want to listen. Graham got out of the car and passed out on the curb. An officer that had arrived on the scene, rolled Graham over and handcuffed him. Four officers then picked him off of the ground and slammed him on the hood of Berry’s car. Graham had tried to tell the officers to get his wallet where he had a card labeling him as a diabetic. One officer told him to “Shut up!” and slammed his head on the car again. Officer Connor then got word that Graham had not done anything wrong at the store. The officers took him home and released him but not before…

    Terry V. Ohio

    A Cleveland detective (McFadden), on a downtown beat which he had been patrolling for many years, observed two stranger on a street corner. He saw them proceed alternately back and forth along an identical route, pausing to stare in the same store window, which they did for a total of about 24 times. Each completion of the route was followed by a conference between the two on a corner, at one of which they were joined by a third man who left swiftly. Suspecting the two men of "casing a job, a stick-up," the officer followed them and saw them rejoin the third man a couple of blocks away in front of a store. The officer approached the three, identified himself as a policeman, and asked their names. The men "mumbled something," whereupon McFadden spun petitioner around, patted down his outside clothing, and found in his overcoat pocket, but was unable to remove, a pistol. The officer ordered the three into the store. He removed petitioner's overcoat, took out a revolver, and ordered the three to face the wall with their hands raised. He patted down the outer clothing of Chilton and Katz and seized a revolver from Chilton's outside overcoat pocket. He did not put his hands under the outer garments of Katz (since he discovered nothing in his pat-down which might have been a weapon), or under petitioner's or Chilton's outer garments until he felt the guns. The three were taken to the police station. Petitioner and Chilton were charged with carrying concealed weapons.…

    The case history of R. v. Grant is that, Grant, an eighteen year old at the time of his arrest, was identified by two plain clothes officers in a high crime area, in front of a high school. The plain clothes officers thought that Grant looked suspicious walking by them, so they asked a uniformed officer to have a chat with him.

    Cobbs V. Grant Case Study

    The theme of Module Five is that every patient has a right to receive emergency care and every patient has a right to informed consent. The emergency medical treatment and active labor act (EMTALA) requires hospital that receive Medicare payments to provide care to patients regardless of citizenship, ability to pay, or legal status. Hospitals with EDs that serve Medicare patients must abide by EMTALA, which is a statute that requires stabilization of any patient that presents to the emergency department. An emergency situation as we identified at class is either when the patient is dying, when a woman giving birth, or something about unnatural disability. It's easy for patients to feel powerless in these types of situations, as they present with an illness. That’s why hospital administrators and providers have the duty to give patients every angle of their medical situation. Patients must have all the information about their diagnosis and treatment…

    Influence of Case Law on Policing

    On May 23, 1957, police officers in a Cleveland, Ohio suburb received information that a suspect in a bombing case, as well as some illegal betting equipment, might be found in the home of Dollree Mapp. Three officers went to the home and asked for permission to enter, but Mapp refused to admit them without a search warrant. Two officers left, and one remained. Three hours later, the two returned with several other officers. Brandishing a piece of paper, they broke in the door. Mapp asked to see the “warrant” and took it from an officer, putting it in her dress. The officers struggled with Mapp and took the piece of paper away from her. They handcuffed her for being “belligerent.”…

    In April of 2007 an African American man studying to be a doctor, is stopped and frisked by three New York City Police Officers. The man, 33 year old David Floyd said he was not doing anything suspicious. This is the now famous case of Floyd v City of New York which challenged stop and frisks as discriminatory and unconstitutional.

    Public Criticism of Police Shootings

    Most police shootings make the front page of the paper or the night time news. Every time the police use their weapons it is highly covered by the press because they know it will gain a ton of public attention. Certain police shootings receive so much coverage that the officers are put under investigation and sent to trial in order to uncover all the facts of the case. One case in particular is the Sean Bell case. This case was a highly controversial case because of race, motive, and unknown facts that needed to be brought to light. In this case, undercover police officer Gescard Isnora followed soon to be married Sean Bell out of a club in queens because he thought he heard one of the suspects say that they were going to go get a gun out of their car. An unmarked police van followed along with detective Isnora who drew his weapon…
