c. John Law, a local police officer, is sitting outside an AM/PM around Midnight. He is eating a protein bar and drinking an energy drink when he observed a man walking up to the entrance of the AM/PM. The man then walked away from the entrance and met up with another individual on a street corner while repeatedly walking up and down the same street. The men would periodically peer into the AM/PM window and then talk some more. The men also spoke to a third man whom they eventually followed up the street. The officer believed that the men were "casing" the store for a potential robbery. The officer decided to approach the men for questioning, and given the nature of the behavior the officer decided to perform a quick search of the men before questioning. A quick frisking of one of the men, Jake, produced a concealed weapon and Jake was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, a felony.

Jake, hires a lawyer and fights the charges against him. He believes that his greatest argument is that the officer did not have probably cause to search and seize the firearm. Do you agree or disagree? Within your answer, please discuss whether the search was lawful or unlawful. In other words, did the search violate Jake’s 4th Amendment rights?

Explanation:

A. The elements are:

-The person must have committed an act that is prohibited

-The act must have been committed with intent

B

The defenses include

-Self defense

- under duress

- insanity

- necessity

C officer john law had a good and enough cause to search Jake and seize his firearm since his movement was suspicious. It was midnight and he was about a shop in a strange manner and he was even talking to someone else. Such actions is enough to get an officer at alert. It seemed like jake and the man were planning on how to commit a crime. A search on the man even revealed a weapon. 4th amendment gives a protection to peoples privacy and immunity from unnecessary search and seizures. But the amendment does not say a probable cause like the officer had done was illegal. This search was reasonable and very legal. Jakes rights were not violated.

Lorenzo Peterson was swimming in a swimming pool with a friend at an apartment com­plex. Lorenzo watched his friend swim to the bottom of the pool, slide an unattached drain cover away, and then slide it back. Lorenzo thought his friend had hid­den something inside the drain, so he swam to the bot­tom of the pool. Lorenzo slid the drain cover aside and stuck his arm inside the drain. The 300 to 400 pounds of pull of the drain pump held Lorenzo trapped under­water. At least seven people tried to free Lorenzo to no avail. When the police arrived, they broke down the door to the pool equipment room and turned off the drain pump.Lorenzo was trapped underwater for twelve minutes, which left him irreversibly brain damaged. Evidence at trial showed that Sta-Rite's drain covers are designed to screw down, but often a drain cover becomes loose. Further evidence showed that there had been more than 20 prior suction-entrapment accidents involving Sta-Rite's drain covers and pumps. Evidence showed that others had designed a pool drain pump with a mechanism that would automatically shut off a pool drain pump when it detected that it was pulling more than it should. Sta-Rite did not install such safety fea­tures on its drain pumps, however.Lorenzo, through his relatives, sued Sta-Rite Indus­tries, Inc., the manufacturer of the drain, under the doctrine of strict liability to recover damages for Loren­zo's injuries. The plaintiff alleged that the underwater pool drain was designed defectively because it did not contain a shut-off mechanism. Sta-Rite Industries, Inc. v. Peterson, 837 So.2d 988, 2003 Fla. App. Lexis 1673 (Court of Appeal of Florida, 2003)1. Is there a design defect?2. Did Sta-Rite Industries meet its ethical duty?3. Should Sta-Rite be assessed punitive damages be­cause it knew there were more than 20 prior suction-entrapment accidents?
