People V. Caballes: An Analysis Of Caballes, The History Of Sniff Search Jurisprudence, And Its Future Impact, Brett Geiger

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article begins by attempting to understand sniff search jurisprudence through the earliest Supreme Court precedent and the application of those cases by the various circuits. Then after a brief discussion of the Caballes case itself it attempts to discern the various arguments made by the parties in the suit, scholars, and practitioners, examining each for its relative merit. Finally, the article attempts to predict what impact Caballes will have on both the use of canines in law enforcement and other technologies that serve similar purposes.


Knock-And-Announce Rule: An Illusory Hurdle Or A Legitimate Law Enforcement Limitation, The, Mitchell E. Kempker Jun 2006

Knock-And-Announce Rule: An Illusory Hurdle Or A Legitimate Law Enforcement Limitation, The, Mitchell E. Kempker

Missouri Law Review

Woven into the western world's legal fabric by English courts over four centuries ago, the knock-and-announce rule requires law enforcement officials to knock at a residence and announce their presence prior to executing a search warrant. Recently, the efficacy of this law enforcement restriction and essential civil right has been challenged by various United States courts. On June 15, 2006, the United States Supreme Court eviscerated an essential remedy for violation of this rule, and last year, the Eighth Circuit's decision in Doran v. Eckold diminished the threshold for permissible no-knock entries. These decisions have eroded the constitutional protection the …

Racial Profiling In Texas Department Of Public Safety Traffic Stops: Race Aware Or Race Benign., Steven R. Wolfson Mar 2006

Racial Profiling In Texas Department Of Public Safety Traffic Stops: Race Aware Or Race Benign., Steven R. Wolfson

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

It is illegal for Texas law enforcement agencies to racially profile people. However, Texas continues to deal with racial profiling among law enforcement officers. This article concerns the right to travel, unmolested by state action based upon race or ethnicity. Since passing the Fourteenth Amendment and its Equal Protection Clause, our legal system under-includes, and outright excludes, certain groups of people from its promise. Such racial disparities have lived in the United States Constitution since the authors drafted the three-fifths compromise at its inception. When considering the criminality of a group of people and the overpopulation in state prisons, many …

The Fourth Amendment: Internal Revenue Code Or A Body Of Principles?, Stephen A. Saltzburg Jan 2006

The Fourth Amendment: Internal Revenue Code Or A Body Of Principles?, Stephen A. Saltzburg

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

The Supreme Court has made the body of Fourth Amendment law too complicated, inconsistent, and confusing. Prior to Mapp v. Ohio, in 1961, the Court focused its attention on federal law enforcement and devoted less of its docket to criminal procedure cases. After Mapp, the Court was called upon to review state cases and forced to deal with the myriad of state law enforcement issues that inevitably arise. Since Mapp, the Court has made the meaning of the relatively few words that constitute the Fourth Amendment extremely complicated, so that the total body of Fourth Amendment law has begun to …
