Performance Task #2
- 1. Stop and Frisk
http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/203614/stop-and-frisk-violates-the-4th-amendment-rules-judge/ (website)
This shows that the stop and frisk procedure violates the 4th amendment because the police search people without any reason and it violates peoples right.

This tells us that the stop and frisk policy violates the fourth amendment because it makes the police search people by the color of their skin and it violates the amendment that people should not search you without a reason.
The stop and frisk policy both violates the 4th amendment and it violates peoples equality because most people that are searched are colored people.
This shows that the stop and frisk policy violates colored men their right by searching the men illegally because of their color and it violates the 4th amendment.

This shows that Michael Bloomberg made the police search people who they thought would be suspicious. But this law also violates the 4th amendment that people won’t be searches without a warrant.
- 2. Illegal searching
This shows that in an airplane when it stopped for fuel people were asked to do a ramp check. This lets people be checked for anything. But this violates the 4th amendment because people are being searched without reason.

This shows that a police department went and searched a house because an alarm went off but they would not give them any more information. This shows the police came and searched their house without any reason which violates the 4th amendment.

This shows that the 4th amendment is supposed to protect people’s privacy and that they have no right to search our privacy.

This shows that the people and government are invading our privacy and that they can arrest people because of the searches that they do.

Jonelly Semper
- People are protesting to restore the 4th amendment because, most of the people are afraid to lose their privacy rights.
This is a good answer because the people were actually afraid and unsure.
- The people are feeling unsafe because, they feel that their privacy rights are being violated.
This in a great answer because in the video the people were fighting for their rights.
- It was Edward Snowden who revealed what the security agency was doing.
This answer is good because in the video it states he was the one who exposed what they were doing.
