l4000 week 2 forum and responses 2

/by

The following discussion comes from your week 2 readings. Outside research to address these issues is encouraged. I would suggest using the online library for additional sources of information and research. In addition, I would recommend utilizing the legal studies program guide.

The Fourth Amendment sets limitations to stop and frisk and arrests. It also affords individuals to be protected against unreasonable searches and seizures.

This forum asks you to examine probable cause and illegal searches and seizures.

Please thoroughly discuss each of the following:

  1. A police officer must have probable cause to arrest an individual. What is probable cause? How much probable cause is needed to secure an arrest or search warrant?
  2. What is the exclusionary rule? Discuss the exceptions to the exclusionary rule.
  3. Discuss the difference in a stop and frisk and an arrest. What are the requirements for an officer to conduct a “stop and frisk”?
  4. ______________________________________________________________
  5. Answer this on a different word document or page.
  6. Using the facts provided to you in the week one discussion forum #2, answer the following questions : 1) Did the police have probable cause to arrest Mayo? 2) Did law enforcement violate Mayo’s constitutional rights? If yes, explain how. If not, explain why. 3) Were the police required to read Mayo his Miranda rights? Discuss why.

PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, Plaintiff

VS.

Scott Mayo, Defendant

TYPE OF CASE-Criminal

SUMMARY OF FACTS

Scott Mayo worked as a bartender at The Local Watering Hole. One night at work, Scott got into an argument with Basil Scowen. Mayo owed Scowen $1500.00. The argument heated up and, after Scowen picked up a beer bottle threateningly and appeared to be intoxicated, Mayo grabbed a pistol kept behind the bar and fired at Scowen, killing him. Mayo says Scowen told him, “I am going to kill you,” and what he believed was imminent danger from Scowen. Mayo was placed under arrest. He was not read his rights. He was transported to the local county jail. The prosecution witnesses are the police officer, who came to the scene and took statements from Mayo, and a frequent bar customer, Dawn Dietz, who witnessed some of what happened. The defense witnesses are the defendant, Mayo, and Joe, “the fireman”, who was outside and saw some of the action through the window while sitting on the patio.
