The Miami Beach police department is sick and tired of the college and high school students
coming to town for Spring break and bringing drugs and alcohol with them. So, they’ve devised
a plan, Operation Intercept, to stop the flow of drugs.
First, the Police Chief orders random check points on all the highways leading into town. Each
check point will have a drug dog that will go around the outside of the vehicle and alert the
handler if there is a “hit.” Second, to help stop the flow of drugs entering the city via the
waterways and ports, the Chief has ordered the use of drones. He instructs his officers to conduct
drone “flights” in the areas where the drug dealers often use speedboats for drug trafficking. As
expected, Operation Intercept is successful. The Department makes a number of arrests based
upon both the traffic stops and the drones.
Discuss whether drug dogs at the traffic stops and the drones are constitutional under the 4th
Amendment.
Solution
Answer:-
Fourth Amendment understanding (taken from book):-
The United State Constirution, in Fourth Amendment, is part of Bill of Rights, protects people or
prohibits from unreasonable searches and seizer by government and it requires any search
warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. But it doesn’t give
guarantee against searches and seizer but only those that are deemed unreasonable under the law.
Case Evaluation:-
Operation Intercept carried by The Miami Police Department is to stop the flow of drugs to city
during Spring. This is of good intent that will not only help to control drug flow but will help to
keep control on unwanted environment in city and will maintain harmony and peace in city while
people enjoying their summer alongwith city continue to reap benefits from tourism activities.
Dogs sniffing at patrolling point is correct as per 4th Amendment as it is only taking not more
than two minutes of tourist time but helping to keep control on unreasonable drug flow in the
city. Moreover, patrolling is like paying toll money that helps government to pass on benefits to
people in way of providing better infrastructure (and here by patrolling returns are in form of
peace and harmony during their summer vacation tour).
Drones flying only captures images of external environment and it is not interfering on people
privacy hence it is correct as per 4th Amendment as it is not searching on people.The images are
helping police department to check speed of boat that could bring unlawful flow of drugs.
