An Evaluation Of The California Community Crime Resistance Programs, Assembly Office Of Research

A New Approach To The Fourth Amendment In Light Of Proposition Eight, Robert K. Calhoun

Publications

The purpose of this article is quite simple. It confines itself to the area of search and seizure law and begins by assuming the worst-that the Court eventually rules that a federal standard applies to all such suppression issues. It then goes on to propose an argument which is intended to rescue as much of California's independent search and seizure law as is possible.
