Case Study 2: Plain View, Open Fields, Abandonment, and
Border Searches as They Relate to Search and Seizures
Officer Williams asked the neighborhood's regular trash
collector to put the content of the defendant's garbage that was
left on the curb in plastic bags and to turn over the bags to him
at the end of the day. The trash collector did as the officer
asked in order to not mix the garbage once he collected the
defendant's garbage. Then, Officer Williams' partner, Officer
Martinez, searched through the garbage and found items
indicative of narcotics use. Officer Williams and Officer
Martinez then recited the information that was obtained from
the trash in an affidavit in support of a warrant to search the
defendant's home. Officer Martinez and Officer Williams
encountered the defendant at the house later that day upon
execution of the warrant. The officers found quantities of
cocaine and heroin during the search and arrested the defendant
on felony narcotics charges.
Write a 2- to 3-page paper in which you:
Identify the constitutional amendment that would govern
Officer Williams' and Officer Martinez' actions.
Analyze the validity and constitutionality of the officers'
actions.
Assess if the officers' actions were justified under the doctrines
of plain view, abandonment, open fields, or border searches.
Support your response by citing specific case law and/or
contemporary cases.
Use at least three quality references.
Note:
