Illegal Searches & Seizures
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages. With major U.S. cities not far from the Mexican border, the State of California finds itself in a unique geographic position for illegal smuggling. Consequently, police officers are often tempted to search vehicles traveling local highways without probable cause. Various legal cases are cited and it is argued that the Courts must serve a 'greater good' and work to stop illegal searches. Several ideas to stop the problem are presented including harsher penalties for police officers who conduct searches illegally and the requirement that vehicle operators sign consent forms prior to the commencement of any search.
