can probable cause be based on an anonymous informant?
what are four things that will presumptively not save a defective warrant under the good faith exception? |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 1:01 AM Author: odious magical hunting ground Yes, as long as anonymous informant has given sufficient accurate verifiable facts as to give rise to probable cause on "totality of the circumstances."
1. So obvious on face of warrant that there couldn't be probable cause
2. Warrant lacking any particularity such that it could not be valid
3. Affadavits relied upon in issuing warrant contained "knowing or reckless" falsehoods
4. Magistrate who issued warrant was biased in favor of prosecution (rare)
Edit: I'll look these up so we have definitive answers |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 1:02 AM Author: Ruddy legal warrant puppy mostly right.
3 is when the cop lies to the judge to get the warrant
4 is when the judge is biased (i.e. gets paid $25 per warrant she issues) |

|
Date: July 11th, 2010 1:07 AM Author: Onyx Milk the first one is interrogation because the police are using a "vulnerability" of the defendant that they know of to elicit an answer. the second one isn't because there doesn't seem to be any use of a specific vulnerability to elicit a response - it's just a general off-hand remark (at least that's the best line i can draw - i was hoping for a clearer explanation).

|
Date: June 8th, 2011 10:47 PM Author: nighttime mewling school cafeteria prole I realize this thread is a year old, but the distinction lies in the "known vulnerability." With the Christian burial speech, the cops knew D was likely to respond to their statements with an admission of guilt because he professed to be a devout Christian minister. With the gun near the school case, they had no knowledge of, or reason to think, that D was particularly vulnerable to a comment about handicapped children getting hurt.

Date: July 11th, 2010 1:05 AM Author: Ruddy legal warrant puppy dunno man. i just go by the "would a RP think that they're enticing the D to respond to this query" as my standard in deciding what interrogation is. hopefuly they won't ask such bitchass questions on the exam.

|
Date: July 11th, 2010 1:08 AM Author: cracking school That's fine as long as it was a voluntary statement that was unprovoked by officer coercion (i.e., no questioning [obvs], no talking about how they are going to be going away for a long time/going to get the chair/no manipulating a suspect's known vulnerability to get them to talk/ no using a conversation with another officer in earshot of the suspect to encourage statement by the suspect)...etc. also the patrol car can't take a 'long detour' on the way to the stationhouse [again, obvs].

|
Date: July 11th, 2010 12:59 AM Author: Nudist pea-brained halford accomplice: act is encouraging to commit crime. mental state is intent for crime be committed.
attempt: act is substantial step or dangerous proximity depending on the jurisdiction. mental state is specific intent to commit crime.
solicitation: act is asking to commit criminal offense. mental state is intent for crime to be committed.
conspiracy: act is overt act in furtherance of agreement between 2 or more people. mental state is intent to achieve conspiracy's objective.
solicitation and attempt merge, conspiracy does not |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 1:00 AM Author: Ruddy legal warrant puppy titcp. only thing is that there are really 2 acts in conspiracy: the agreement itself + the "overt act" requirement.
also, DESCRIBE the difference between bilateral and unilateral theories of conspiracy. |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 1:03 AM Author: Nudist pea-brained halford bilateral--need 2 people or more.

for a terry FRISK there must be reasonably articulable suspicion that the suspect is armed and dangerous.
keep them separate. |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 1:02 AM Author: Slippery casino Terry Stop - If you have a reasonable suspicion that criminal activity is aftoot, police officer may stop a person and ask a few questions (must be brief).
If suspicion persists, you may pat down the person (only pat down the outer clothing) if you have a RS that the person is armed and presently dangerous . If you feel something that you have probable cause to believe is drugs (difficult to prove in most states) or a weapon, such as a gun (easier to show probable cause), you may reach in to the person's pocket and take it out. |

Date: July 11th, 2010 12:55 AM Author: Ruddy legal warrant puppy unreasonable vs. reasonable mistake of fact is a defense to what sorts of MR crimes?
when is mistake of law a defense to a crime?
are factual or legal impossibility defenses to attempt? |
|
Date: July 11th, 2010 1:02 AM Author: Nudist pea-brained halford 1) unreasonable mistake of fact is only a defense to specific intent crimes. reasonable mistake of fact is a defense to anything but strict liability.
2) generally, never. exception if D reasonably relies on overturned statute/caselaw or advice of one in charge of enforcement (not a personal lawyer, of course)
3) legal is, factual isn't. the latter is not because is not because if facts were as D thought they were he would have committed a crime. |

contrasted with the automobile exception, where you can search the entire car if you have PC. |

|
Date: July 11th, 2010 7:51 PM Author: cracking school my understanding is that accomplice liabilty occurs when the actual crime is committed whereas liability for conspiracy attaches once the illegal agreement has been made. so to be found liable as an accomplce for murder an acutal murder had to have taken place (that you assisted in/aided/encouraged) whereas to be found liable for conspiracy to commit murder, the objective of the conspiracy (the murder) need not have taken place, just the agreement. (note: a maj. of states now also req. an overt act in prep.)
oversimplified: i like to think of the accomplice as the 'side-kick' of the principal while the crime is taking place and conspirators as a bunch of people just sitting around talking about what they're going to do. (though,I realize this doesn't take account of accomplice liablity for an accessory before the fact). |
