He had to deliver the merchandise to the particular customer for the principal. The employee was responsible for promoting their actions with the client, by helping to get the goods inside of the store that caused the old break. In addition, the actions of the agent out of his employment created a relationship between the agent and the client, therefore, not involving the …show more content…

This changed when they decided to announce to the public that the agent's services were holding a cable on behalf of the business. Because the client relies on this particular assumption, they are also based on the existence of an agency relationship. This would make the principal, the store, entitled to recover damages from the customer caused by the agent.

A 6-3 vote in favor of New Jersey was all it took to strike down TLO’s request to suppress the evidence as well as her confession. In previous cases, courts have ruled that school officials were exempt from the restrictions put in place due to their need to enforce authority over their students.

This means that because they’re school officials, they don’t have to have as many means to perform a search on the students because students should have a decreased expectation of privacy. Their decision meant that the evidence found in TLO’s purse along with her confession had to reason to be excluded because her 4th Amendment rights were not violated.

In 1971, Marvin Miller, owner of a mail-order business in California specializing in pornographic materials, sent out explicit and unsolicited advertisements for books and movies that contained graphic and uncensored images of sexual activity (Elias, Elias, Bullough, & Brewer, 1999). A business in Newport Beach, California received this mailing and the owner and his mother notified the police of its content, Miller was arrested and subsequently convicted for violating a state statute that prohibited the distribution of obscene material; Miller appealed claiming the materials were protected under the First Amendment’s right to free speech (Elias, et al., 1999). The 1973 decision handed down by the Supreme Court in Miller v. California, defined the scope of First Amendment protections and introduced specific qualifications to determine obscene materials. A key factor in the tension surrounding the right to free speech and materials designated as being obscene stems from the difficulty of defining obscenity.
