Performance Task #2
4th Amendment
Big Ideas:
1. Stop and Frisk
Someone got stopped and frisk due to their actions. Someone was looking at a store window, while the officers were suspecting the victim to robbing a store.

How Police officers have a reasonable suspicion of crimes people have or about to be committed or commit. If the police suspect a crime and arm the person it can be a stop and frisk.

Being stopped by an officer due to being blamed for a crime without a warrant would be a violation to the 4th amendment
Stop and Frisk violates tens of thousands of people’s rights. This is offense to the amendment 4 which refuses officers to violate someone’s privacy without a warrant.
· http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/nypolice/ch5.htm
People have the right to have freedom and or privacy from the police officers from just searching and seizure their homes.
2. Search and Seizure
· http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/search_and_seizure
Any search of a person’s vehicle, home, or belongings by any police officer without a reasonable reason would be related to the 4th amendment. Police officers must obtain a warrant before doing this action of search and seizure.
· http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-rights/search-and-seizure-and-the-fourth-amendment.html
The 4th amendment prevents any seized or searched items from being used for any crime scene or suspension taken place by a Police officer.
· http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/search-seizure-criminal-law-30183.html
The 4th amendment is about the freedom and or privacy of peoples belongings whether needed for any crime or evidence it prevents from them conducting a seizure on whom who owns the home.
· http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Fourth+Amendment
The amendment was to prevent search from any U.S. citizens and the intimidating power of law enforcement from searching your belongings.

Homeland Security Seized Electronics From a young man’s friend without a reasonable reason to do this. The officer had seized his entire house for these electronics without permission from a judge or warrant which violates the 4thamendment.
3. Search Warrants
· http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/search_warrant
A search warrant is what allows a police officer to search your belongings for any occasion or crime needed for. Otherwise, without this warrant the 4th amendment prevent his from happening.
· http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/library/law/fourth-amendment-warrants-searches-and-seizures
Warrants gave police officers permission without cause or justification to search and or seize a person’s belongings or home.
The 4th amendment allows police officers to enter and search a persons home but, they must first convince a judge—the judicial branch—that there is enough evidence to obtain a search warrant.

1. How was the revolutionary war related to the 4th Amendment? It relates to the Amendment because any army cannot barge into a house without permission, which happened in the war.
This is a good response because you are stating how the revolutionary war relates to the 4th amendment and why
2. How was the 4th Amendment created?
The Amendment was created because the soldiers were taking people households during war, and people didn’t like that.
This response is ok but you could’ve added why the soldiers took place in these actions of barging into people’s personal homes or belongings
3. Is the 4th Amendment a good thing?
Yes it is because during war nobody would want to have solider controlling your household
I do agree , although you could’ve added what people would do to prevent this and why.
