NO PLAGIARISM DUE MONDAY MARCH 25, 2019

Police agencies must develop policies for officers which conform to  constitutional requirements. Three of the leading U.S. Supreme Court  opinions guide interactions between police officers and the people that  they contact. Three of the most important cases for law enforcement to  not violate are Weeks v. United States (1914), Miranda v. Arizona (1966), and Terry v. Ohio (1968). Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read each of the three listed U.S. Supreme Court cases, Miranda v. Arizona (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Terry v. Ohio (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and Weeks v. United States (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..  Law enforcement officers throughout the United States are bound by the  Constitution’s intentional limitations on the government’s power. Many  people believe that people who have done nothing wrong need no  protection; however, the truth is that everyone must be afforded their  protections from the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments to the  Constitution) for every person in the country to be safe from  governmental overreaching.

In your 500-word Case Briefs (excluding the title and reference  pages), examine each of the cases listed through the provided links. Use  at least three scholarly and/or credible sources from the Ashford  University Library in addition to the course text with one minimum  scholarly and/or credible source per case.

Consider using Q for your library research and to access writing supports, and tutoring services available to you. See the Guide to Installing and Using Q (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for more information.

For each case,

• List the constitutional amendment(s) relied upon in the court decisions.
• Describe the Supreme Court opinions (what the Supreme Court ruled on the issues for each case).
• Analyze whether the Supreme Court’s ruling provides appropriate  protections for defendants or results in unnecessary risk to people’s  safety.
• Explain the implications of the decisions for law enforcement in its investigations.
