Facts:

The defendant (Defore) was arrested by a police officer for stealing a coat. If he did commit the offense, it was considered a misdemeanor of petit larceny because the overcoat did not cost more than fifty dollars. The defendant was in the hallway of his apartment complex when he was arrested. After Defore was in custody, the arresting police officer went into Defore’s residence and searched it. During his search the officer found a bag, which contained a blackjack (a short, lead-filled club with a flexible handle).

It’s not something that should be protected against a nosy onlooker. There is no connection between the lack of a search warrant and the constitutional freedom against involuntary disclosure. The weapon would have been just as unlawful and involuntary if there was a search warrant. The warrant does not advance the idea that the defendant will be covered against disclosing his own crime. Actually, the warrant is used to urge him to disclose it. Contraband items that are owned without a right and are subject to seizure may be submitted into evidence without infringing upon the rights of self-incrimination, whether the seizure has been made with or without a warrant. Defore made it clear in his objection that the weapon was contraband, but the hat and bag were not. Yet, all of the items were submitted into evidence together. Defore’s objection did not favor one item over the other. If any of the items were admissible, his objection does not succeed. In this situation it is not necessary to find out whether the items are lawfully owned. There are situations when items, not contraband at all, may be seized and submitted into evidence. In this case, if the coat had been priced fifty-one dollars rather than fifty dollars, it would have been a lawful arrest because the police officer might apprehend the defendant if a felony had been committed and there was a reasonable cause to think that he did it. In that case, there might

The Supreme Court clearly notes in its opinion that such searches have to happen in the immediate area of arrest and any such search outside that area must be made with a search warrant.

But once they began looking all around the house that requires a search warrant. The Supreme Court reversed the California Supreme Court’s

As the court explained, reversal was appropriate here because though the dynamite could have been used in a device covered by 5845(f), the evidence showed Posnjak ultimately did not possess all the components necessary to construct such a device. Id. Similarly, this record contains no evidence that Ms. Borne possessed all of the necessary components to produce a destructive device. Therefore, because the items in question could not combine to produce any destructive device enumerated in 5845(f)(1) or (2), Ms. Borne’s conviction should be vacated. B.

In Eduardo Porter’s work titled “The Danger From Low-Skilled Immigrants: Not Having Them,” he observes what low-skilled immigrants bring to the United States and what we would come to be without them. The United States is more dependent on low-skilled immigrants than it thinks; they are the behind the scenes doing the jobs you do not see, like picking crops and washing dishes at restaurants. They have bettered the lives of Americans not just by filling the employment hole, but also in the working field and academic field.

This means that the suspect had touched the purse and under Locard’s exchange principal, there should be something at the crime scene and on the purse and also something on the perpetrator. The police or investigators did not process any evidence that they found. The purse was found by a can collector and called into the police. The purse contained about $1200 in cash and all of Mrs. Stevens property that was originally in her purse. The whole problem I find with the location where the purse was discovered is that it does not coincide with anything the police were trying to tie together for a timeline of the crime.
