PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Police search without consent
"the Fourth amendment to the constitution, intact for over 200 years, guaranteed that the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated."-Kenneth Eade
The Founding Fathers wrote a Bill of Rights to protect the people
The Bill of Rights included certain unalienable rights
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are unalienable rights
liberty includes the right to be free from oppressive government
The police represent a part of the government
police require consent to search your vehicle under certain conditions
Your vehicle cant be stopped unless you commit a crime or traffic offense
Committing a crime gives the police a right to search without consent
A traffic offense gives the right to search without consent if State allows
If your State says you cant be arrested
life, liberty, & happiness from the Bill of Rights
Terry v. Ohio says the stop has to be legal and the officer's actions must be related to the stop
