The document discusses the challenges law enforcement faces regarding the Fourth Amendment and DNA evidence, which is often overlooked, leading to the unlawful seizure of DNA. It requires research on a case where DNA evidence was deemed illegally seized, prompting the preparation of a media interview transcript highlighting constitutional violations. Additionally, it calls for recommendations to prevent future issues and emphasizes the need for scholarly support.

1. Instructions
Because the term
DNA
is not being specifically mentioned in the Fourth Amendment,
its protection is often overlooked by law enforcement officers
which results in evidence not being able to be used in court.
Many cases in the criminal justice system are dismissed due to
illegally seized DNA evidence.
For this assignment, research a case where the courts ruled
DNA evidence was seized illegally. Prepare a transcript
assuming you, as a law enforcement expert, are being
interviewed by a news outlet about the case you researched.
Develop possible questions you could be asked and indicate
how you intend to respond. Be sure to discuss the fact pattern
and specify the specific constitutional violation in the seizure of
the DNA evidence. Indicate how the forensic scientist(s)
involved may have incorrectly obtained or processed the
evidence. Provide recommendations concerning how to avoid
these issues in the future.
Support your assignment with at least five scholarly resources.
