6-2 Journal 3

Prompt: Jasper robs the home of Peter and Carly, two meth dealers. He steals expensive jewelry, meth equipment, and meth. You are the assigned detective to the robbery and receive a reliable tip that Jasper has stashed the goods in his home. You want to use thermal imaging to detect the presence of the stolen items. A senior detective advises you that you do not need a warrant. Based upon your reading of Kyllo v. United States, what should you do? How does the court’s decision reinforce ethical behavior and constitutional limits on law-enforcement officers? Write a journal assignment that addresses these questions. Refer to your textbook and relevant scholarly sources to support the points and observations made in your journal assignment. 

Note: Kyllo v. United States is also referenced in your final project. Review of this case will also support Section VIII of your final project. 

Guidelines for Submission: Your journal assignment must be 300–400 words (excluding the references). Citations should be formatted according to APA style. Submit assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
