    Unit 1 Case Study Assignment

    Mr. Henderson, a 52-year-old male, was on his way to work during a heavy rainstorm when he lost control of his car and crossed into oncoming traffic where he collided head-on with a small delivery truck. Witnesses accessed the 911 emergency medical response system, and paramedics arrived quickly. The driver of the truck suffered only minor cuts and scrapes, but Mr. Henderson was having difficulty breathing and complaining of severe chest pain. Transport time to the nearest trauma center was less than two minutes, so the emergency personnel elected to “scoop and haul.” A large bruise on his chest indicated that Mr. Henderson had experienced blunt trauma from the impact of the steering wheel after the airbag failed to deploy.…

    We know how to recognize good behavior. We write solid EPRs, express our gratitude in Letters of Appreciation, or submit deserving members for medals. But how do we deal with bad behavior? What instruments of military law are available for counseling Airmen and correcting improper behavior? There are a range of options available from verbal counseling to Article 15s to administrative discharge. In general, most of us only have to deal with those methods appropriate for correcting behavior at the workcenter level. These administrative tools, in order of rising level of seriousness, are:…

    Homecoming week was full of exciting activities, games, and sports! Events were happening everyday during this week. The week kicked off on Monday the 26th and it started with Dress like a Pirate day! Not only was Monday full of fun, but it continued through the week. Tuesday was comfy cozy, and we definitely brought out the jammies. Wednesday consisted of a ton of twins, because who doesn’t want one. Thursday brought some interesting throwbacks, with people dressing from their favorite time periods or even as their younger selves. Today the classes had assigned colors to wear, unless you were one of the lucky seniors who wore a toga! The Freshman wore red, Sophomores wore white and Juniors wore blue.…

    1) I feel that the need for a pet to accompany an individual is medically necessary and the right to have the pet in an environment such as a workplace shouldn’t pose an issue to the employer or employees as long as all can be accommodated for. Just because some feels or thinks that having an animal in a workplace environment is unsanitary or unjust for whatever reasons, doesn’t make it so. Especially if having the animal or pet is going to help productivity of an individual which in turn helps productivity for the company. We live in a time where people have more disabilities and the need to accommodate those disabilities need to be met without discrimination.…

    A Case Study on U

    On September 7, 2007, officers observed Fred Wade talking on his cell phone in a Boston, Massachusetts parking lot. Shortly after Wade got into a car being driven by Brima Wurie. Wurie then pulled out of the parking lot, went 150 yards down the road, made a U-Turn and continued to pull back into the parking lot they had just left from. Police believing they just witnessed a drug bust confronted Wade and found cocaine. Other officers arrested Wurie. When Wurie arrived at the police station, his cell phone rang. Wurie’s cell phone continued to go off multiple times and on the front screen of the cellphone a picture of a lady holding a baby kept coming up on the front screen with the caller ID reading “my house” on it. The police then opened the phone and traced the call to an address in Boston knowing that Wurie might have more drugs in his South Boston home. The police went to the address, knocked and upon the owner opening the door the police smelled marijuana. The police recognized the woman who opened the door as the one that was in the caller ID picture. The police obtained a warrant and found 215 grams of cocaine, a firearm, ammunition, marijuana, and paraphernalia. On March 28, 2008, a Grand Jury indicted Wurie for a felony possession of a firearm and ammunition, distribution of cocaine within 1000 feet of a school, and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Wurie moved to suppress the evidence gained from his cell phone and argued that by the police searching his phone had violated his Fourth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The Court denied Wurie’s motion on grounds that the cell phone search was incident to his arrest and was limited and reasonable.…
