the three criteria for research question evaluation discussed in your textbook.

Answer:
Do the sanctions and limitations on drone use by police departments limit their
ability to solve crimes or do they protect the Fourth Amendment rights of United
States citizens?
Evaluation: I evaluated this question by the feasibility, social importance, and
scientific relevance. The feasibility is that the research conducted would not
take forever and the ability to gain access to police files through the right-to-
know law and/or court order. The social importance is that people do not want
their rights to be infringed upon by the police just to solve a crime. Lastly, the
scientific relevance would show if the use of drones does or does not violate the
Fourth Amendment rights of citizens (Bachman & Schutt 2018, pgs. 26-27).
