  29. Unit 4 Policing: Legal Aspects Unit 4 examines the responsibilities of policing as related to upholding the constitution. Further, it examines, the methods used to combat crime, and the growing role of technology in policing.

  30. Policing: Legal Environment No one is above the law…not even the police.

  31. Unit 4 – Policing • Policing: Legal Environment • The U.S. Constitution was designed to protect against abuses of police power. • Restraints on police behavior: • Help to ensure individual freedoms. • Must be balanced against the need for police to effectively do their jobs.

  32. Unit 4 – Policing • Changing Legal Climate • The U.S. Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights, is designed to protect citizens from abuses in police power. • Due Process is required by 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th Constitutional Amendments.

  33. Search and Seizure: The Fourth Amendment • The Fourth Amendment protects one’s privacy from unreasonable searches and seizures.

  34. Unit 4 – Policing • What is the fruit of the poisoned tree doctrine?

  35. Unit 4 – Policing • The Exclusionary Rule • Weeks v. U.S. (1914) established the exclusionary rule. • Illegally seized evidence cannot be used in a trial. • This rule acts as a control over police behavior. • The decision was only binding to federal officers. • Mapp v. Ohio (1961) extended the rule to the states. • The 14th Amendment due process applies to local police, not just federal officers.

  36. Unit 4 – Policing • Fruits of Poisoned Tree • Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. U.S. (1918) • Because illegally seized evidence cannot be used in a trial, neither can evidence that derives from an illegal seizure.

  37. Reasonable Suspicion Versus Probable Cause • Reasonable suspicion is a general and reasonable belief that a crime is in progress or has occurred whereas probable cause is a reasonable belief that a particular person has committed a specific crime.

  38. Unit 4 – Policing • Describe the circumstances under which police officers may search vehicles and the extent to which such searches are permissible…

  39. Unit 4 – Policing • Fleeting Targets: Vehicle Searches • Investigatory stops of vehicles required reasonable suspicion. • Warrantless searches of vehicles must be based on probable cause (fleeting-targets exception). • Mobility of vehicles would allow them to quickly flee. • Warrants are necessary if time and circumstances permit them.

  40. Unit 4 – Policing • Vehicle Searches • If probable cause exists or if permission is granted, warrantless vehicle searches can extend to any area of the vehicle, including: • the trunk • the glove compartment • sealed containers within the vehicle

  41. Unit 4 – Policing • Vehicle Searches • A permissible search of a motor vehicle does not automatically extend to a search of a person within the vehicle. • Occupants can be ordered to step out of the vehicle.

  42. Unit 4 – Policing • Vehicle Searches • Illinois v. Caballes (2005) • The use of a drug-sniffing dog during a routine and lawful traffic stop is permissible and may not even be classified as a “search” under the Fourth Amendment.

  43. Unit 4 – Policing • Explain how the need to ensure public safety justifies certain suspicionless searches…

  44. Unit 4 – Policing • Suspicionless Searches • Suspicionless searches may be necessary in order to ensure public safety. Such searches must be based on compelling interests. • Suspicionless sweeps of busses, trains, planes, and city streets are permissible, as long as: • Police ask permission • Police do not coerce people to consent • Police do not convey the message that compliance is necessary

  45. Unit 4 – Policing • Suspicionless Border Searches • Suspicionless searches of vehicles at our nation’s borders are permitted, even when searches are extensive. • U.S. v. Flores-Montano (2004) • “The Government’s authority to conduct suspicionless inspections at the border includes the authority to remove, disassemble, and reassemble a vehicle’s fuel tank.”

  46. Unit 4 – Policing • Describe the nature of electronic evidence, and explain how first-on-the-scene law enforcement personnel should handle it…

  47. Unit 4 – Policing • High-Technology Searches • Investigating crime is making greater use of high-technology devises and practices, such as thermal imaging devises. • If the government searches a home using a device that is not something used by the general public, and that shows something that wouldn’t be learned without entering the house, then a warrant is required.

  48. Unit 4 – Policing • Gaining Electronic Evidence • Proper digital criminal forensics has become increasingly important in today’s modern times. • Electronic evidence is of special concern because it: • is latent • can transcend national and state borders quickly and easily • is fragile and can easily be altered, damaged, compromised, or destroyed by improper handling or improper examination • may be time sensitive

  49. Unit 4 – Policing • Warrantless Searches of Electronic Evidence • U.S. v. Carey (1999)—A federal appellate court held that the consent a defendant had given to police for his apartment to be searched did not extend to the search of his computer once it was taken to police station. • U.S. v. Turner held that the warrantless search of a personal computer while in the defendant’s apartment exceeded the scope of his consent.

  50. Policing Issues and Challenges “The police at all times should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police.” - Sir Robert Peel, 1829
