Gidby And Brian Case Study

The Civil war was not inevitable; it was the result of extremism and failures of leadership on both sides. This war was long forthcoming; we see this conflict as a nation divided or as Lincoln put it a house divided (Doc 4). It was a conflict between pro-slavery southerners and anti-slavery northerners. Both sides felt strongly about their position, leading to neither side backing down. However, this war could have been avoided through a compromise of stronger leadership and less extremism.

I made contact with the driver and requested a driver's license and insurance. The driver was unable to provide a driver license or insurance. He provided a State of Illinois Identification Card with the name of Rivera, Alejandro DOB 10/09/98. Rivera was checked through LEADS which revealed he had a driver's permit with no wants or warrants. While speaking with Alejandro I detected an odor of cannabis emanating from inside the vehicle. Alejandro related that there was cannabis underneath the passenger seat hidden in an ArmorAll container. At this time Alejandro turned over a ArmorAll container with two (2) small blue plastic bags containing cannabis (4.0 grams). There was also a half rolled cigar paper containing cannabis, cigar paper, and cigar inside the container. The two (2) passengers in the vehicle were identified as Martinez, Jose L. DOB 05/25/99 and Saavedra, Angel I. DOB 11/22/98. They were checked through LEADS which revealed no record. Jose and Angel were in the closest proximity to the container with the cannabis.

Assume an undercover officer believes Andy is selling narcotics. During his surveillance he observes individuals approach Andy and hand him money. After Andy collects the money he would walk toward a tree and out of the sight of the officer. Andy would then return and hand small packets to the individual. After Tara conducts a transaction w/Andy, the police detain her. On her person is 6 small bags of heroin. Tara told police she purchased the heroin for her boyfriend. When police detain Andy he has $500 on his person but no narcotics. Underneath a rock by the tree where Andy walked to, police found 200 bags of heroin. Criminal liability was imposed because, possessing narcotics is a misdemeanor and the sale of narcotics is a felony. Each

American Society, an extremely large and, even more so, diverse group of people that have accepted the world with open arms falls short on one demographic. This particular group, often suffering from great life obstacles ranging from alcoholism, mental illness, physical disability and undoubtedly extreme poverty, are left with a blind eye and cold shoulder from the vast majority of Americans. This demographic is the homeless—the absolute bottom of our social hierarchy. These homeless men, women and children live lives that are foreign to the common American lifestyle and, due to their special circumstances, must have an adapted legal view employed upon them. In the case disputing the use of the 4th Amendment with the homeless man, David Mooney,

Moreno, 579 F.2d 371, 372 (5th Cir. 1978), the compartment containing drugs had been welded onto the truck's exterior and was partly visible to a person simply inspecting the back of the truck. The defendant in United States v. Legeza, 559 F.2d 441, 442 (5th Cir.1977), was driving a car that smelled of marijuana, testified that he knew pillow cases had been concealed and that they felt peculiar, and acknowledged that the car’s owner was using him in some kind of illicit scheme. The odor of marijuana was about the vehicle in United States v. Maspero, 496 F.2d 1354, 1356-68 (5th Cir. 1974), as well, and seeds were in plain view on the trailer’s floor. Moreover, the defendants in Maspero engaged in a variety of suspicious activities while under surveillance. Again, the odor of marijuana was present about the automobile in United States v. Rodriguez, 556 F.2d 277, 278 (5th Cir. 1977). The defendant in United States v. Fonseca, 490 F.2d 464, 466 (5th Cir 1974), had previously been stopped in the same automobile, and marijuana seeds and rolling papers were discovered in that earlier inspection. A strong odor of heroin was present in the car in United States v. Gonzalez, 700 F.2d 196, 204 (5th Cir. 1976), and the defendant had been present during several veiled discussions of the drug

As American settlers had continued to populate the expansive land the United States of America which had lay before them, the Native Americans, who had resided there for hundreds of years prior to the Revolutionary War, had become increasingly troubled with every passing moment. Soon, they realized, they would be overtaken entirely by the settlers of the newfound nation. As such, in 1830, the Congress of the United States had passed the Indian Removal Act, which had forced all Native American tribes into specially-designated reservations, where their underlying spiritual bonds had effectively been permanently separated. Indeed, the Indian Removal Act had been extremely powerful, but not in ways that had been beneficial to either party. Hence, its passing and subsequent institution, manifested as the infamous Trail of Tears, had been an error on the part of the United States Congress, in all basic aspects of morality, politics, the Constitution, and practicality of survival and thriving. Specifically, moral aspects included concerns relating to driving Native Americans from their long-time homeland without their consent, alongside the breaking of their spiritual statuses. Political perspectives against the Indian Removal Act had revolved around the notions of value, progress, and improvement, paired with the ramifications and intentions of treaties passed by Congress. Constitutional viewpoints had protested against the Act in that they had insisted the lack of reasoned

Alcohol impairs judgment and vision, and causes speeding and reckless driving. On the other hand, there has been debate over the effect of marijuana on driving. One study by a computer software company reported that people who smoked a small amount of marijuana drove faster and with fewer collisions in a driving computer game. Another study said that marijuana causes abnormally slow driving, proneness to distraction, and increases the time it takes to react, therefore greatly impairs your ability to drive.

Currently, merely possessing marijuana is a criminal offense, however, it would be a great benefit to the legal system to treat it as other legal substances. One such similar substance is alcohol, which is legal in all states. As with alcohol, marijuana usage should have consequences if associated with other actions, such as: driving, abuse and murder. Thus, the court system would only be spending time and money on individuals that abused the use of marijuana rather than all users of marijuana.

Public use would be prohibited except for designated establishments and all other authorized public events and places. The operation of any motorized vehicle while under the influence of marijuana would also be prohibited by law. Violations of this law would result in punishments similar to those of current laws governing the operation of motorized vehicles while under the influence. Now obviously there would be many other intricate laws governing the legalization of marijuana. The possible laws mentioned above are general stipulations that would likely head categories of any future laws concerning legalities of marijuana. However, they do present a solid basis for future consideration.

Marijuana can have very damaging affects on a person?s brain. It can impair a person?s short-term memory, decision-making and signal detection (Cannabinoids). ?In one study conducted in Memphis, TN, researchers found that, of 150 reckless drivers who were tested for drugs at the arrest scene, 33 percent tested positive for marijuana? (Marijuana). After having used marijuana a

In order to pay for drug use, teens engage in criminal behavior, motor vehicle theft, and breaking-and-entering offenses (University of Washington ADAI). Teen Marijuana users need money to pay for drug use, and in order to obtain money, teens engage in problematic behaviors. There are also legal aspects when selling, using, or possessing marijuana, involving fines, jail time, and possibly a criminal record (Teens Health 2). Teen marijuana users’ problematic behaviors involving the law can lead to consequences, sometimes with the potential to damage the teen’s future. Laws against growing, possessing, and selling marijuana exist in all states but Washington and Colorado (2). Over 7.2 million Americans have been arrested on marijuana charges since 1990, many of which were teenagers (NORML). Marijuana association damages the lives of many teens who get caught engaging in marijuana associated problematic behaviors. The problematic behaviors associated with teen marijuana use can potentially damage not only a teen’s future, but also society.
