Introduction To The Criminal Investigative Case

I feel that this case was somewhat representative of what was discussed in the textbook. The forensics aspects of this case were generally different from the impression of forensics I received from reading the textbook. Despite this fact, I feel that the investigative techniques of this case were similar to what was discussed in the textbook, as well as what has been discussed during lecture.

Evidence plays a vital role throughout criminal investigations. Typically, we think of evidence as things such as fingerprints, DNA, and fibers. However, evidence as evolved as the world of technology has expanded. Digital evidence also now plays just as much of an important role as traditional evidence. When beginning an investigation that involves digital evidence, it is important for the investigator to know what evidence to look for. Identification of evidence, collection including transportation of evidence and examination of evidence are the three main aspects of the process.

From a trial strategy point of view, you always start with the piece(s) of evidence you believe are most damaging to the client's case and work backwards looking for an exploitable flaw in the search and seizure procedure that would make that or those item(s) inadmissible. The further back in the series of events you can argue a fatal flaw, the more likely that the evidence and any additional materials which flowed from that particular item of evidence will be excluded. This is the practical analysis of all the times we see or hear of law enforcement arguing that there was some technical item which drew their attention and suspicion and justifies their hunch that criminal activity is afoot.

Should the FBI have the right to break the 4th amendment in order to solve criminal cases? Author Conor Friedersdorf claims in his article “Law Enforcement Crying Wolf About the Dangers of Locked Phones?” that if law enforcement pushes to break the 4th amendment it will become a threat to the American people rather than the criminals themselves, because it leaves us with less secure devices and it won’t dramatically make changes in solving cases. Although, I do agree with Friedersdorf claim about how this poses a threat to americans rather than criminals, but I do think that he should of provided more credible examples of how law enforcement is still able to solve cases through other means without the need to encrypting phones.

Probable cause (PC) is not equivalent to absolute certainty and can exist without absolute certainty. PC must be established before law enforcement can search a person and their property; in addition, to an arrest. The requirement for probable cause to “search and seizure” is found in the Fourth Amendment. Without PC, a suit for malicious prosecution could be brought by the defendant.

The police have the right to block entrance to the crime scene in order to protect evidence, and will question witnesses concerning the crime.

The criminal justice process begins with a report of violation of the law by a citizen or witnessed by a police officer first hand. Then after it is investigated where the police officer is to come to the area or scene of the incident to determine the extent and nature of the crime committed. Where sometimes an arrest is made on the scene of the incident and statements of the witnesses or evidence are taken to obtain evidence of the crime. In some cases there is a preliminary investigation where the police conduct an investigation then after a secondary investigation is conducted by a team of detectives. The purpose of these investigations is to protect the evidence in the crime committed to obtain potential witnesses and to get substantial evidence against the criminal in court.

The average pay of a criminal investigator is around $79,000 annually depending on the the area as well as experience of the investigator. It's a field that's expected to grow in the coming years.

In chapter one, we discuss the history of the rules of evidence and how the rules of evidence became applicable to our modern society. The use of evidence was deeply established during the creation of the American colonies. In comparison to many developed countries at the time, the common law was embraced to implement a set of guidelines to punish any wrongful acts and/or to ultimately deter criminal behavior in society. Ideally, the utilization of evidence was used and is still used to corroborate whether an individual is guilty or innocent in the court of law.

You are going to have to be very vigilant in acting as the judges in this case. Each one of you are a judge for this case . You have to examine all the evidence very carefully and ask yourselves, "Is this reasonable? Is this logical? Does this make sense? Would I look at this evidence the same way. . . ."
