Abstract
Individual questions focus on the automobile exception to the Fourth Amendment requirement of a search warrant, the rule that defines legal insanity, warrantless entries into a felony suspect's home to make an arrest, the removal of a prospective juror without showing cause, and illegally obtained evidence. Other questions focus on civil rights violations, strip searches of certain arrestees, the Miranda rule, police use of deadly force, probable cause, and search and seizure of garbage left outside the curtilage of a home.
