Search & Seizure In The Context Of Automobiles
.... to believe that contraband goods are in an automobile. Such things as automobiles and boats can quickly be moved away before an officer can secure a warrant. New Jersey Courts also recognize that an automobile exception is required because the need of a search warrant is often unforeseeable when an automobile is inherently mobile. Carroll v. United States, 267, U.S. 132, 45 S.Ct. 250, 69 L.Ed. 543 (1925). The Courts seem to realize that if law enforcement officers were required to serve a warrant each time they believed that someone had something illegal in their automobile, prosecution of that person would become practically impo .....

Capital Punishment
.... man that hunted you down, kidnapped you, and killed your friend, was the one of the few whom successfully escaped from jail? Once life has already been taken; your life should not also have to be lived in fear. Serial killers such as the Hillside Strangler prove that they need .
Killing the monsters that have already killed others gives the legal system spare money to spend on more important things. I find no logical reason why the government should spend money to feed, cloth, house, and entertain the murderers, when they could use the extra dollars to council, reprimand, and treat petty criminals to prevent more severe crimes i .....

A Few Media Commandments
.... the public. Magazines, newspapers and billboard owners should be held accountable for promoting these types of products and are just as guilty as the cigarette manufactures themselves.
THOU SHALL NOT PROBE INTO PEOPLE’S PRIVATE LIVES
Another region where the media needs to be much less involved is in that of people’s private lives. Take for instance the Clinton sex scandal. This is clearly a personal matter between him and his wife, not that of the President and the public’s right to know his every action. A further issue involving lack of privacy is that of the Princess Diana car crash that took her life. It was the r .....

Should Marijuana Be Legalized?
.... the users feelings and thoughts. Such changes are caused mainly by THC. The effects of a marijuana high vary from person to person and from one time to another in the same individual. In most cases, the high consists of a dreamy, relaxed state in which users seem more aware of their senses and feel that time is moving slowly. Sometimes, however, marijuana produces a feeling of panic and dread. The different reactions result partly from the concentration of THC in the marijuana. Other factors, such as the setting in which marijuana is used and the users expectations, personality, and mood, also affect a persons reaction to the drug .....

Make US Citizenship More Difficult
.... of the many subcultures brought to the United States by immigrants. However, each subculture added has substantially made the American culture richer. An incredible example is the broad range of cultural foods found in the United States. In how many other countries throughout the world can you go to almost any given city and find Italian, Chinese, Japanese, French, Tex-Mex, Cajun, and Mexican food.
Economically we can not afford to decrease the annual rate of immigration that we have. False statements that are passed between many Americans about immigrants are complaints that we are paying for them to stay at home, wh .....

The Presidency And Inexperience
.... who has spent a great deal of his life in Congress working with (or against) the president on various bills, campaigns, etc. Nevertheless, he has still not had the experience that even approximates that of an incumbent president. Primarily this is because the presidents task is so multifaceted. (Neustadt 103)
In one of his capacities, as head of state, the president receives representatives of other governments and performs a variety of ceremonial duties such as holding state dinners and bestowing the Medal of Honor. (Neustadt 84) In fact the President’s activities as head of state are not limited to the White House and Wash .....

The ABA And The Government

The GAO also maintains an active grassroots lobbying effort and distributes periodic "alerts" to ABA entities and state and local bar groups advising them of legislative developments which call for concerted action.
In 1986, the GAO expanded its efforts beyond the federal arena by establishing a State Legislative Clearinghouse to track important state legislative developments and provide a regular overview of these developments to the organized bar through the publication of the State L .....

Make Drugs Legal
.... could be taxed heavily because the users will be assured of "clean drugs." Making drugs legal will reduce the great amounts of money spent on enforcement every year. Drug dealers and users are one step ahead on the enforcement process. If one drug lord is caught, another one will show up somewhere else. We cannot win. “In 1987, 10 billion dollars were spent alone just on enforcing drug laws. Drugs accounted for about 40 percent of all felony indictments in the New York City courts in 1989. This figure is quadruple what it was in 1985. . Forty percent of the people in federal prison are drug law violators” (Long 114). One can on .....

Freedom Of Speech: Censorship On The Internet
.... one newsgroup is the rec.humor list, which is a collection of jokes submitted to subscribers. There are straightforwardly rude jokes but others are politically incorrect, focusing on sexual stereotypes, mothers-in-law, women and so on. It has been suggested (Interpersonal Computing and Technology, 1994) that discretionary warning labels could be attached to potentially offensive material. With warning labels like those on records this may serve to whet appetites. Warning labels involve some sort of judging and then the question is raised as to who shall be the judge. The Internet is world-wide so would the First Amendmen .....
