What laws and cases cover the ways police are able to search?
Q. Please include any law or case that changed the laws in any way...all the way back to when law enforcement started in the USA. I'm doing a term paper for my criminal justice classes.
Asked by surferchic - Mon Oct 5 12:43:20 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The Fourth Amendment covers search and seizure, that is where it all starts. There are a couple of landmark cases that defined that authority, such as Terry v. Ohio (protective pat down of weapons) and Carroll v. United States (permits searching a vehicle without a warrant). The most recent case is Gant v. Arizona, which limits the scope of a search incident to an arrest. There are other laws that define what happens if a search is illegal, such as Mapp v. Ohio (established the "Exclusionary Rule") and Weeks v. United States (makes the Mapp decision applicable to all states). There is a lot more to it. Much more than I could list here, but those are some of the major decisions.

How legislators make laws while everything in this world is subjective, including goodness and badness?
Q. What we consider good and positive for the humanity can be negative indeed. What is considered right in the West may be considered wrong in the East. Regarding to the fact that everyone has his own ethics and reasons, how can we set laws and consider them to be positive for everyone? Philosophically, I believe there's no verity in the laws the lawmakers set. How legislators make laws?

A. It's true everyone has different standards, maybe that's why there are so many different countries. What you are talking about sounds a lot like relative moralism. In philosophy that's when you adopt the standards of morals from wherever you happen to be. Here in the US it's considered very bad to eat a relative. but in some islands in the south pacific it is considered important and an honor to eat a dead relative. It has something to do with the passing along of energy. Under relative moralism, you coming from the US to one of these islands would instantly adopt this custom without trouble. There is much more to it than that. philosophy class was a long time ago.

Possible to break the laws of matter and energy?
Q. Ok. Theres two laws that say matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed, right? I've been thinking about a way to possibly break those laws... When matter moves at the speed of light, it becomes pure energy. If that is so, something could accelerate to the speed of light and become pure energy. Thus destroying the matter and creating energy. Does that seem possible? Could that, in theory, break those laws?

A. Unfortunately, I don't think you have the right idea. According to our current theory, E=mc^2 ( of course this is the equation for rest energy, but close enough for Yahoo). Energy and mass are interchangeable. If mass turns to energy or energy turns to mass, the laws of physics are conserved. Could matter go as fast as the speed of light? I don't think so. Scientists have been accelerating atoms to close to the speed of light and have hammered energy into them and the only thing that happens is that the atom's mass swells. Energy in this case is turned into mass.

How are laws against same sex marriage not considered sexual discrimination?
Q. It seems that any laws discriminating based on sex should be considered discrimination and should be illegal by Federal law. What am I missing? It seems to me that limiting who I can marry based on sex is sexual discrimination and diminishing of personal freedoms (inalienable rights?). Should there be laws requiring that I have to marry within my same race? By the way, sexual discrimination laws apply to more than just the workplace.

A. black codes-laws passed on the state and local level mainly in the rural Southern states in the United States to restrict the civil rights and civil liberties of African Americans. While some northern states also passed legislation discriminating against African Americans before the Civil War, the term Black Codes is most commonly associated with legislation passed by Southern states after the Civil War in an attempt to control the labor, movements and activities of African Americans.

What laws would apply to public animal sacrifices in modern times?
Q. Now that I have your attention, I am writing an absurd short story in which one of the characters decides to sacrifice a cow in a city park.

A. Legally, yes they are. The reality, though, is that unless for some reason the media gets seriously involved, cops don't arrest cops. Here is a truly obscene example. Russ Perdock, the Chief Deputy of the Lake County Sheriffs department recently killed a woman. He was screaming across the lake (off duty) in the pitch dark at around 50 miles an hour in a boat whose raised bow didn't let him see directly in front at high speed, and he smashed into a sailing boat, from behind, that was doing about 2 miles an hour. The man who was sitting at the helm of the sailboat was found to have a BAC of 0.09% - just 0.01% above the legal limit.

A. What do you mean by "scooter?" You mean one of those two-wheeled things that look like a Razor scooter with an engine on the back? If that's the case, then 1. You need a driver's license or permit. VC 21235(d) 2. You don't need insurance, nor do you need registration or license plates. VC 21224(a) 3. You need lights and reflectors if you ride at night. VC 21223 4. You can't ride on the sidewalk. VC 21235(g) 5. Most important, you must wear a helmet. VC 21235(c). After all, California is the nanny state. These are the highlights. I suggest reading Vehicle Code sections 21220-21235.

A. Exactly the same as with integers. x^(a/b)*x^(c/d) = x*(a/b + c/d) [x^(a/b)]^(c/d) = x*(ac/bd)

What European laws pertain to the labelling of food and drugs containing Artifical Sweeteners?
Q. If any laws exist, are they binding to all states, or is each one expected to formulate policy according to EU guidelines? No. I'm not planning to put an artificial sweetener in a product. I was sold a product which contained an artificial sweetener, but no labeling on the package indicated so.

A. The seat belt law is one I can think of. Should people wear seat belts? Of course. But should the government make a law on that? No. A persons choice to wear one doesn't in any way danger anyone else except themselves, and the government has no right to enforce this. Its just another way to infringe on our personal liberty. I always always wear a seatbelt, but not because of some law.
