Instructor’s comments from the Phase 4 IP to apply to the Phase 5 Individual Project

Opportunities for improvement: Things to remember for this task: Discretion is a choice from among legal options, not a decision to break the law. Getting consent to search vs a search warrant has some benefits, but they are outweighed by the benefits of getting a search warrant. Prosecutors have wide latitude in charging and can use significant discretion in this area.
