Judge And The Crime Burden, John Barker Waite Dec 1955

Judge And The Crime Burden, John Barker Waite

Michigan Law Review

One does not happily charge the judiciary with responsibility for the country's burden of crime, but the responsibility does in fact exist. Judges, though they may not encourage crime, interfere with its prevention in various ways. They deliberately restrict police efficiency in the discovery of criminals. They exempt from punishment many criminals who are discovered and whose guilt is evident. More seriously still, they so warp and alter the public's attitude toward crime and criminals as gravely to weaken the country's most effective crime preventive.

Evidence-Police Regulation By Rules Of Evidence, John Barker Waite Feb 1944

Evidence-Police Regulation By Rules Of Evidence, John Barker Waite

Michigan Law Review

The judicial rules of Evidence, said their great expounder, "were never meant to be an indirect process of punishment." Yet twice the Supreme Court has promulgated new rules of evidence for precisely that purpose. The rule that evidence is inadmissible, regardless of its relevance and materiality, if it was obtained by unreasonable search was first suggested by Justice Bradley, who wrote the majority opinion in Boyd v. United States in 1886. The other rule was voiced in 1943 by Justice Frankfurter, writing the majority opinion in McNabb v. United States. And each rule demonstrates the inherent evil of judicial …

The Prevention Of Repeated Crime, John B. Waite Jan 1943

The Prevention Of Repeated Crime, John B. Waite

Michigan Legal Studies Series

Though this study is concerned fundamentally with the prevention of crime, it deals only with that part of the field wherein prevention of further crime is sought through treatment of known criminals. The whole field of crime prevention is, of course, much wider than that particular part. With a reasonable degree of logical distinction, it represents five major divisions of particularized interest. The first involves the question of what activities are to be considered as crimes and ought, as such; to be prevented. The second division assumes that a crime has been committed and covers the various activities by which …

Constitutional Law-Martial Law-Suspension Of The Law Jan 1936

Constitutional Law-Martial Law-Suspension Of The Law

Michigan Law Review

Fifteen thousand workmen in a county struck, forced business houses to close, cut off the milk supply even to hospitals, threatened electric and water company employees with violence, stopped all transportation services, and congregated in mobs. On request of the local authorities the governor issued a proclamation suspending the right to carry arms, the right of assembly, and the right to enter or leave the county, and directed the military to disperse all crowds, picketers, or other assemblages. A striker imprisoned by the military forces sued to enjoin the governor and military officials from carrying out the proclamation on the …

Searches And Seizures - Reasonableness Of Arrest - Use Of Evidence Secured Through Unreasonable Arrest- Statutory Changes Feb 1934

Searches And Seizures - Reasonableness Of Arrest - Use Of Evidence Secured Through Unreasonable Arrest- Statutory Changes

Michigan Law Review

Police officers patrolling Detroit streets in a radio-equipped police car stopped a taxicab in which defendants Stein and Massie were riding. From the statement of the court, the officers' attention was attracted to the cab "because it was 'driving pretty fast,' about 32 miles per hour." The police car pursued it for a block or more; as it drew abreast of the cab defendant Stein was seen to reach into his pocket as if to take something out and put it behind him. "There was something about the cab, probably aside from its speed, which suggested to officer Sullivan that …

Constitutional Law - Federal Control Over Crime - Scope Of Power To Regulate Crime Under The Commerce Clause Jan 1934

Constitutional Law - Federal Control Over Crime - Scope Of Power To Regulate Crime Under The Commerce Clause

Michigan Law Review

The increase of criminal activities interstate in scope, and the growing dissatisfaction with state enforcement of local laws, have focused attention of late upon the power of Congress to regulate crime under the commerce clause of the Constitution. Outstanding among proposals for congressional legislation are the following: making interstate felonies federal offenses; punishing criminals who flee across state lines after committing a crime; and restricting the sale and transportation of firearms. Most, if not all, of this suggested legislation must rest on the commerce clause for its validity. We purpose here to discuss the nature and scope of this power, …

Public Policy And The Arrest Of Felons, John Barker Waite Apr 1933

Public Policy And The Arrest Of Felons, John Barker Waite

Michigan Law Review

Under the judicial rulings of a score of States, it may happen that a man is arrested for the crime of carrying concealed weapons, that irrefutable evidence of guilt is found upon him, and that he nevertheless evades conviction and punishment because the courts will not permit the evidence to be used. It not only may happen; it does actually occur with shocking and incredible frequency. Yet oddly enough this practice appears to be in flat conflict with the statute law of some of those States and with the provisions of the model Code of Criminal Procedure recently approved by …

Report On Lawlessness In Law Enforcement, John Barker Waite Nov 1931

Report On Lawlessness In Law Enforcement, John Barker Waite

Michigan Law Review

The first part of this Report offers taxpayers little return on their investment. All it even purports to do is to inform the public that the police throughout the country sometimes use intolerable, brutal methods to extract information concerning crime and occasionally keep arrested persons out of communication with lawyers and friends until they can be questioned at length. But of these facts the public was already convinced through newspaper and magazine. Indeed, the Report itself uses the widespread public knowledge of the evil as evidence of its existence. Yet, beyond this repetition of already accepted beliefs, the Report really …
