Essays on Seizure

The demographic profile

As it has been indicated by Kumar et al (2014) in the scope of their study, the lion share of the statistical data on demographic profile of epilepsy from both developed and developing countries may be referred as a retrospective one. It means that there is an insignificant number of the studies, which pertain to the selected age group – children in the current realities of the 21st century (Garzon et al 237-245). As it was indicated by Garzon et al (2003), the core limiting factor in this case is the access to the professional health care services in the ...

Search and seizure legal procedures draw much controversy because most people have a high level of expectations regarding privacy. This high level of expectations can be traced back to England’s ‘castle doctrine’ wherein the law recognizes the right of a person to defend one’s home or property from unlawful entry (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 1992, p. 1199). Such expectations regarding privacy, however, is not absolute. In fact, the law provides that intrusion on private property can be made lawful under certain circumstances prescribed by the law. There are several provisions under the United States constitution that can ...

Introduction

Every US citizen has a right not to have their privacy unreasonably intruded into according to the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution. Moreover, under this Amendment, search warrants shall not be issued to law enforcement officers unless there is probable cause that particularly describes the specific place that the police needs to search or the things subject to seizure. In the state of Florida, for example, the requirements of a search warrant are provided under Chapter 933 and include the existence of probable cause, search for only the property specified in the warrant, supported by an affirmation or ...

I believe the two technological devices chosen were good examples of items that would typically be of interest in any search and seizure procedure where crime could have been committed using electronic devices. Internal hard drives and USB drives are the primary memory banks for saved items on a computer, thus becoming very important if police or work administrators believe wrongdoing was committed using a computer. I agree with the reply stating that a crime scene or area surrounding the electronic equipment in question should be contained to prevent any tampering of evidence. The writer should have mentioned much ...

Discussion on Various Topics

The problem relates to how marijuana should be legalized throughout the United States. There are now twenty-four U.S. jurisdictions that have enacted medical marijuana laws (MMLs), or laws that protect individuals who use marijuana upon recommendation of physicians, farmers who plant and supply the market, and doctors who issue prescription regarding use of marijuana (Smart 1). The legalization of medical marijuana will create a need for change, for example, new laws, policies, knowledge of medical and psychological effects, and education to help people understand the proper use of marijuana. There are many issues to be resolved if legalization of ...

If the police tap into the local telephone exchange of AT&T to know when a certain phone number becomes active with users without a warrant, the case will face a very difficult suppression motion. There is a safeguard against such processes; the Fourth Amendment. Hypothetically, if the police attempt to stake out a suspect’s location and try to get information whenever someone makes a call from the property, a warrant becomes mandatory. However, it is surprising the courts find that a warrant is unnecessary. The interpretation of the law should coexist along with the context in order to ...

Question 1: Uses the correct term for chronically recurring seizures.

Answer: Epilepsy Question 2: Determines if the patient in the scenario has epilepsy. Answer: J.G. does not have epilepsy. She has only had three previous cases of seizures prior to which she had not experienced any seizures. The current cases were triggered by the cesarean section thus too early to refer to the condition as epilepsy (Ko, 2016).

Question 3: Identifies possible conditions, besides brain injury, that contributes to the lowered seizure threshold for the patient in the scenario.

Answer: Apart from brain injury, lowered seizure threshold can occur as a result of infectious illnesses such as AIDS, meningitis as well as developmental disorders such as neurofibromatosis and autism (Ko, 2016).

Question 4: Describes the pathophysiology of a seizure.

The brain and the nervous systems functions within a ...

Abstract

The criminal justice system in the United States provides Constitutional guarantees for all who are subject to the laws of the land. The three most controversial aspects of this system today are Search and Seizure, arrest, and interrogations. While these three aspects are the foundation of police action throughout the nation, there are several unresolved problems in how each of these processes is in use today. The presence of the law is not always the same as upholding it. The cases which made the case for the citizens are moving into obscurity with modern variations of the problems making ...

Aviation terrorism is the act of unleashing violence on airliners with the aim to harm or intimidate the victims. The occurrence of terrorism has increased with the rise of aviation as a mode of transport. The first known incident of air terrorism was carried out in 1930 by Peruvian insurgents who hijacked an airplane to scatter propaganda leaflets. This practice subsided in the subsequent two decades due to the effect of global factors such as world war two. Modern terrorism started in 1968 when three Palestinian gunmen hijacked a passenger airline of the Israeli Airline El Al on a ...

The paper highlights six prominent cases of their time and causes of seizure and warrant of these cases. The facts involved in cases and courts ruling in making decisions are explained in the paper. It focuses on Mapp v. Ohio, Terry v. Ohio, Tennessee v. Garner, Carroll v. U.S., Graham v. Connor, and U.S. v Leon. According to the 4th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, people have the right to feel secure in their homes and without proper court consent police should not be allowed to breach their personal property. Furthermore, a search warrant is to be issued by ...

The Fourth Amendment is part of the United States Constitution. It protects citizens from unlawful situations and offers guidelines that must be followed in the criminal justice system. The Fourth Amendment allows people to be safe in their homes and their personal belongings to secure as well. This means that a person should be able to do as they please in their home without the legal system coming into the home. If a warrant is issued and signed by a Judge, then this gives the authority the right to enter a person’s home and search for items. “The ...

Introduction

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigations, organized crime is any organization having some sort of formal structure with the main objective of making a profit through illegal activities. The groups typically maintain their position in society through the uses of violence, bribery, and extortion and have significant impacts on the development and security of a nation. It is therefore very critical to control organized crime so as to reduce its local, national, and regional impacts.

Problems Created and Relationships Established by Organized Crime

Introduction

The state of the natural world is always hanging in a delicate balance. No other creature on the planet has a deeper effect on the balance than humans do. Endangered and threatened species is the effect of human activity. Humans have an innate ability to create chaos in the world around them. The more a civilization is destroying the natural world, the worse the natural world becomes. This is evident by the numbers of endangered species that rises. It is difficult to center on just one single species and ignore the rest. Each species deserves to be recognized ...

Dear Dean,

RE: PETITION AGAINST DISMISSAL FROM THE COLLEGE OF NURSING This is to present my petition following my dismissal from the college of nursing as a result of failure to meet the standard grade of C in the course NR226-Fundamentals-Patient Care. I admit this failure on my part to meet this standard grade and wish to declare my interest and commitment with the course.

African resistance to colonial powers has an extensive history that dates before the nineteenth century. The responses to colonial rule varied by location, religion, and resources that included both violent and nonviolent tactics. It is important to note that most rebellions were complex and strategically planned in the rising intolerance of colonial rule on the continent of Africa. Although Europeans aimed to divide and conquer, they did not always successfully change relationships among African communities who worked together in resistance. Nonetheless, foreign colonial powers were successful in recruiting tribes to assist in conquering other tribes who were in conflict. ...

I. Introduction The Fourth Amendment prohibits the government from conducting “unreasonable search and seizures” on the public. While reasonableness depends on the circumstances, such whether the act is a search or a seizure, the United State Supreme Court has, nevertheless, determined that a reasonable governmental search or seizure of a person occurs with a warrant or probable cause of criminal activity (Miller et al., 2012). Absent a warrant or probable cause, a search or a seizure can still be reasonable if it satisfies one of a number of exceptions to the general rule. Accordingly, in the cases of Betsy ...

The United States has one of the most complex and fascinating criminal justice systems in the world. The reason that the United States has such a unique criminal justice system, is that the founding fathers based their principles from superior legal frameworks around the world. For example, the founding fathers were known for looking to English, French, and other European Legal Frameworks, (The United States Constitution). Additionally, the founding fathers thought to their education of Roman Law and the laws of Ancient Greece, (The United States Constitution). For this reason, the United States has a unique array of principles ...

During the initial visit the registered nurse from the Community Nursing Service will elicit information concerning the seizure history from Jessica. While seeking information concerning the history the nurse will seek to know when the client had her first fit, whether there has been any improvement after initial diagnosis and treatment. The nurse will also seek to know whether the client would wish to have her medication changed due to their ineffectiveness. The patient is then asked concerning the factors that may trigger the seizure. While doing so, the nurse will document on alcohol intake. Other factors that trigger ...

Epilepsy is a neurological disease characterized by seizures that impair the nervous system. The seizure may be defined as an interruption in the electrical conductivity in the brain

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES, RISK FACTORS AND SYMPTOMS OF EPILEPSY?

Cause and risk factors The exact cause of epilepsy in many sufferers remain unidentified . Approximately two-third of the epilepsy cases present no cause. Children are more susceptible relative to adults to suffering from epilepsy with unknown cause. There are risk factors that may predispose some individuals to epilepsy and include damage to the head or brain, tumor of the brain, Alzheimer’s disease, brain infections such as meningitis, and lack of ...

Bambauer, Jane. "Hassle." Michigan Law Review 113.4 (2015): 461-511. Print. Bambauer suggests that Searches and seizure in schools are in other words a debate about the privacy of individuals and the extent to which the state or anybody is able to invade an individual’s private life. Despite the fact that this may seem insignificant, a student’s locker in most cases is the only private space that a student has in a communal atmosphere of the school. In many occasions, the debate about searches and seizure is seen as an American issue. However, this can apply to ...

Introduction

Criminal law and even general law enforcement have several rules and regulations that are implemented in order to procure a more stable and relatively just and safe environment for the people of a country. The Constitution allows several statutes which determine how criminals and deviants are supposed to be treated. This is important so that their treatment and procedure of treatment serve as a deterrent for the rest of the people, and they are able to understand how truthfully justice has been served. There are several domains of this procedure as described in criminal law and comes under search ...

Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967) Privacy issues remain one of the key issues in criminal law and entire legal justice system. Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967) is one of the famous cases that highlights the nature of the right to privacy and provides legal definition of a legal search. The court’s ruling refined the former definition of the legal search and legal seizure clauses of the Fourth Amendment to consider infringement with any kind of communication technology as a search (Brandon Garrett, The right to privacy (Rosen Pub. Group) (2001) (Garrett, 2001). ...

When the United States was founded, there was an inherent fear in the founding fathers of search and seizure that was not ethical by the government as a result of remembering the British monarchy. This fear is precisely why one of the first amendments in the United States Constitution is discussing search and seizure laws for the United States. The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution essentially grants citizens protection from unreasonable searches and seizures by government agents. This paper will explore how the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution relates to search and arrest warrants and ...

In this paperwork, I will be discussing a case presented by Mr. Mark Najma. Mark was sleeping on the couch on August 1st 2012- at around 1 a.m. He noticed the presence of the law enforcement officers outside his house and this made him to be curious- he opened the door. After opening the door; he came across a policeman at his doorway. The policeman asserted of having a report on a man in somebody’s backyard. Mark promised to contact the law enforcement officers of anything suspicious in the neighborhood. The next day, Mark went to the police ...

Discussion on the legality of “plain view” and “open fields” searches

According to the U.S. Supreme Court, the “Plain view” search is legal. The search allows the police officers to conduct searches and seizures without necessarily having a search warrant. In”plain view” search the officers can see instrumentalities of the criminal activity in plain view or plain sight. Plain view search is applicable only when the officer has contraband or evidence that cannot be manipulated (Romero, 1988, p. 20). For example, if one observes controlled substance such as marijuana then the material is said to be in a plain view and the illegal substance can be seized and used ...

The Russian Revolution is what happens when bad leadership filtered through a bad political system meets bad times on an epic scale. It shows the inadequacy of “implement meaningful political reform” by making token changes to a hoary old institution that “did not alter the autocratic nature of the regime” (Merriman, p.927). No one element can be singled out as inevitably causing the collapse, though the continent-wide meat grinder of World War I comes close. The Russian imperial system had centuries of tradition and institutional stability behind it. For all the faults of Tsar Nicholas’s weak and superstitious ...

The exclusionary clause applies on the rules of evidence obtained by unreasonable search or seizure that violates the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. It has been upheld by the Supreme COurt that the exclusionary rule serve multiple purposes that are designed to safeguard the general constitutional rights of the people. The rationale for the exclusionary rule is to compel respect to the constitutional guaranty through the most effective means possible such as removing the incentive to disregard it. It also serves the purpose of protecting judicial integrity that ensures that the judiciary will not condone and never ...

Abstract

Recent news of police engaging lethal force to contain seemingly non-dangerous situations has dominated headlines in the news. News such as the shootings of Kajieme Powell, Michael Brown and countless others and the seeming impunity that the system grants the accused proffer that the system will use any avenue to impose the upper classes’ will on the lower class in the guise of crime control. However, rather than project a racist slant, the research also looks on the possibility that the police officers, in the line of duty, must be given enough latitude in determining the situations that ...

Introduction

The prevailing Constitutional system has been hailed throughout history as the greatest masterpiece ever designed, and this has been attributed to its separation of powers. The Constitution succeeded in creating a system of checks and balances, federalism, limiting the powers of the executive branch, avoiding government gridlock, and dual federalism. Constitutional federalism requires that there is no encroachment of powers through the separation of state power (Bulman-Pozen, 1). However, the separation of powers has been beleaguered with judicial enforcement coupled with formal vengeance aimed at rationalizing incursions by one federal branch with the others. It is accepted that the ...

The paper will examine the international organized crime in trafficking food and drinks. In the last year in a joint operation of Europol and Interpol much of the potential hazardous drink and food was seized in various countries. It is the crime that has not been in the center of attention, but nonetheless plays a very important role in the health and security of the worlds’ population. The issue, the problem represents in the world has been stated by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (n.d.) since the organized groups has been active in the production and ...

In 1961 the evolutionary rule was born into the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. “The exclusionary rule was set in place to protect the people of this country” . The protection of this rule was put forth against evidence illegally obtained by police. The evidence that was illegally found is violates citizens’ rights of the Constitution. This rule can be good for citizens even if the evidence proves guilt but cannot be used against them because in the matter in which it was obtained. This means the evidence is thrown out of court, and the individual may not be ...

The Fourth Amendment protects the people from “unreasonable search and seizures” by the state. However, this does not mean that each and every search or seizure by the state is unreasonable. To be sure, while the Supreme Court has said that the standard of a reasonable search or seizure is one that is initiated with probable cause of criminal activity backed by a warrant issued by a neutral judge; it has also held that there are a number of circumstance were a governments responsibility to keep the community safe and secure rise to the level in which is can ...

The article titled “Armed Group Vows to Continue Occupation at Oregon Refuge” is a recent article that appeared in the New York Times dated Jan 3rd, 2016 by Johnson Kirk and Healy Jack. The article covers protests that have began peacefully at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon near Burns. The protests were against the sentence that was imposed to an old rancher Dwilight and his son, Steven Hammond, who had settled fires on federal land (Johnson & Healy, 2016). The United States government has developed a set of laws and conditions, which are to be followed, when dealing ...

One of the most significant issues in the U.S. today is the systemic policies that have led to the U.S. having the largest prison population in the world. A disproportionate number of socioeconomically marginalized citizens are incarcerated and subjected to discriminatory practices by law enforcement and the justice department. The consequences are wide-reaching and inseparable, cutting across political, social, and cultural lines. In order to identify the roots of these interconnected phenomena, one needs to both understand the historical struggle of marginalized groups in the U.S. as well as follow the money. Socioeconomic discrimination, voter suppression, for-profit policing practices, ...

Introduction

This essay reviews the various aspects of evidence gathering and applies them to the exclusionary rule and the fruit of the poisoned tree. The primary purpose of the paper is to discuss possible instances that officers can consider to ensure the quality of the evidence gathered in the Ellis’ “Who did it?” case. It shows just how complex an investigation can become should the officers acquire a taste for unreasonable and illegal means of collecting information. Therefore, the following is an assessment of these elements.

The Exclusionary Rule and Fruit of the Poisonous Tree

The exclusionary rule disallows the federal system from using evidence collected in violation of ...

The 4th Amendment protects the privacy of every American from unreasonable and unexplainable government intrusion. FindLaw (2015) asserts that homes should, therefore, grant their owners’ the ultimate privacy as dictated by law. The description of a home would include apartments, mobile shelters, condos, mansions, motels, and tents among others. Therefore, the police would require search and arrest warrants as well as owner consent before making home entries. This essay discusses the 4th Amendment given a series of responses as follows. The following is an explanation of how the Amendment applies to police entry onto private property. Based on the ...

Introduction

Epilepsy is one of the most devastating neurological health issues which is associated with recurring seizures in affected individuals. The concept of recurring seizures is linked with the transmission of worn signals from a cluster of neurons or nerve cells in the brain. In the event of a seizure, an individual is known to behave in a strange manner and have varying emotions and sensations. In most cases, epilepsy is known to be constituted with violent behaviour, loss of consciousness, and muscle spasms. The direct cause of epilepsy is not known but researchers claim that is maybe a result ...

Probably the main peculiarity of the warrantless vehicle searches cases is that the question of the existence of the probable cause is left to the discretion of the law enforcement officers. Police officers make their decisions on the basis of the information that is presented to them, and only they are in power to decide whether that information is trustworthy and reliable enough to constitute a probable cause for the arrest or search.

In Brinegar vs. United States the Supreme Court paid a particular attention to the question of existence of a probable cause in case of a warrantless search of a vehicle. The ...

The ‘exclusionary rule’ is a rule based on the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution which prohibits unlawful search and seizure. The exclusionary rule mandates that evidence seized in violation of the terms of the Fourth Amendment is not admissible in court and should be excluded at trial; it is an attempt to deter police misconduct and prevent them from usurping the constitutional rights of citizens. It is a rule which was originally expressed in Week v. United States, 232 U.S. 383 (1914); in 1961 the Supreme Court made the exclusionary rule applicable to the states in the case ...

The best evidence rule is codified in the Federal Rules of Evidence. Rule 1002 provides that, unless otherwise provided by the federal statutes, an original recording is required in order to prove its contents. At the same time, Rule 1003 states that the duplicate of the original recording is equally admissible unless there are genuine doubts as to the authenticity of the original piece of evidence. Rule 1004 allows not to require the original evidence if it is impossible to obtain the original by any available judicial process. The court may also admit the summary of the original evidence, ...

Rakas v. Illinois is a criminal procedure case wherein the petitioners raised their rights to avail of the Constitutional protection provided in the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution that provides “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches 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 to be seized,” (Galiano, 2011).

As a Supreme Court Justice, it is possible to see two opposing viewpoints emerge in the privacy debate. Should the government collect information from private citizens in the name of national security? The first viewpoint is "privacy and speech are values of great importance" and people typically embrace these values. Scott McNeal, CEO of Sun Microsystems, summarizes the alternative view: "You already have zero privacy. Get over it." Regarding privacy, the issue should not be whether or not we have privacy, but persuading people to care about their privacy issues. Every day, millions of people post their private information on ...

Marijuana has always carried a negative reputation due to its recreational use and the “stoner” stereotype that comes with those who use it. Many people use the drug illegally to get high or stoned for their own pleasure. Marijuana is made from the leaves of the cannabis plant, which are then ground and smoked in various ways, such as through a pipe or a rolled joint. The earliest known use of cannabis drugs dates as far back as the ancient Greek and Roman societies. It has traditionally been used as a recreational drug, but modern times have changed. In recent years, the ...

American history shows that people are unique and live together by the rule of law. As historical facts suggest, America's success as a democracy is due to its successful implementation of the rule of law. The rule of law is put into place as 'The US Constitution Bill' by the Founding Fathers of America. After the signing of 'The US Constitution' in 1787, the original law comprised of seven articles. Finally, a collection of ten amendments was made to 'The US Constitution' and signed in 1789 by our Founding Fathers who are known as 'Bill of Rights'. In this paper, we ...

Introduction

A seldom noted observation device geared to monitor the movements of every passing motorist is rapidly spreading on America’s thoroughfares. “Automatic license plate readers” that are placed on police cruisers or on stationary locations such as bridges-utilize small high speed cameras to take pictures of thousands of license plates every minute. The data taken by the readers-inclusive of the plate of the vehicle, the date, time and area of the scanning-is then gathered and at times lumped together into regional data pools. As a result of these activities, innocent motorists have their private information taken and pooled into ...

The US Constitution guarantees many of the rights of the individual citizens. One of the rights guaranteed is the right to peaceably assemble. The Bill of Rights states in part that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or the free exercise thereof [] or the right of the people to peaceably assemble” (First Amendment [emphasis added]). The 14th Amendment, on the other hand, ensures that states enforce this guarantee and all other civil rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
