Section I of this Comment examines Terry v. Ohio, in which the Supreme Court decided that certain on-the-street encounters between police officers and citizens come within fourth amendment scrutiny. Section II traces the development of standards for determining when a seizure has occurred, that is, when a reasonable person would believe he was not "at liberty to ignore the police presence and go about his business."' In section III, this Comment argues that, when the police chase a citizen, their conduct constitutes a seizure because the citizen is aware of the police's attempt to apprehend him and is therefore …

Bright Line Seizures: The Need For Clarity In Determining When Fourth Amendment Activity Begins, Edwin J. Butterfoss

This Article proposes that the Mendenhall-Royer standard, as presently interpreted, should be discarded because it is unworkable and fails to strike the appropriate balance between the liberty interests of citizens and the interest of the state in combatting crime. The test is unworkable because the outcomes of cases turn on subtle factual distinctions unrelated to an individual's actual freedom to end an encounter with a police officer, making it difficult for police officers to apply the standard in the field and adjust their conduct accordingly. Moreover, the standard provides insufficient protection for an individual's rights by failing to consider the …

Technologically Enhanced Visual Surveillance And The Fourth Amendment: Sophistication, Availability And The Expectation Of Privacy, Clifford S. Fishman
Scholarly Articles
Since 1983, however, seven Supreme Court decisions have focused at least in part upon application of the Fourth Amendment to technological enhancement of, or technological substitution for, visual surveillance: United States v. Dunn and Texas v. Brown (artificial illumination); United States v. Knotts and United States v. Karo (electronic tracking devices); California v. Ciraolo9 and Florida v. Riley (aerial surveillance); and Dow Chemical Co. v. United States (image-magnifying aerial photography). Reaction to many of these decisions has been highly critical.
In six of the seven cases, investigators refrained from intruding physically into a location protected by the Fourth Amendment. The …

Judicial Criticism, James Boyd White
Judicial Criticism, James Boyd White
Book Chapters
Today I shall talk about the criticism of judicial opinions, especially of constitutional opinions. This may at first seem to have rather little to do with our larger topic, "The Constitution and Human Values," but I hope that by the end I will be seen to be talking about that subject too. In fact I hope to show that in what I call our "criticism," our "values" are defined and made actual in most important ways.
I will begin with a double quotation. I recently heard my friend and colleague Alton Becker, who writes about language and culture, begin a …

A Linguistic Analysis Of The Meanings Of "Search" In The Fourth Amendment: A Search For Common Sense, Clark D. Cunningham
A Linguistic Analysis Of The Meanings Of "Search" In The Fourth Amendment: A Search For Common Sense, Clark D. Cunningham
Faculty Publications By Year
This article offers a new technique for analyzing and evaluating competing interpretations of a legal text and applies that technique to one of the most debated questions of modern constitutional interpretation: the meaning of "searches" in the first clause of the fourth amendment. This Technique is called the "common sense" approach because it begins with a semantic analysis of the text in terms of the sense that the key words have in everyday speech. Such analysis reveals a complex of interlocked concepts that underlies the ability of speakers to recognize meaningful uses of these words. The common sense approach then …
