The Court held that because of the “special facts” the “attempt to secure evidence of blood-alcohol content in this case was an appropriate incident to petitioner’s arrest.” Under current jurisprudence, we would construe the language about “special facts” as relating to the exigent circumstances exception to the Fourth Amendment – which resists categorical rules – and instead focuses on the need for the intrusion and the availability of a warrant. However, the language also justifies the search as “incident to petitioner’s arrest,” which would indicate that the test was upheld as a search incident-to-arrest. In situations where it is appropriate, that has been described as a “categorical” exception to the warrant requirement that does not require any case-by-case

You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during police questioning, if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you by the state. These words have preceded every arrest since Miranda v. Arizona 1966, informing every detained person of his rights before any type of formal police questioning begins. This issue has been a hot topic for decades causing arguments over whether or not the Miranda Warnings should or should not continue to be part of police practices, and judicial procedures. In this paper, the author intends to explore many aspects of the Miranda Warnings including; definition, history, importance to society, constitutional issues, and pro’s and con’s of having the Miranda Warnings incorporated into standard police procedures.

As a result of the Miranda case, all persons detained by the police should be informed of four things before being questioned:
The first thing that should be thought about prior to any form of interrogation is the suspect’s rights; particularly his or her Miranda Rights. Also known as the Miranda warnings, “the purpose of [which] depends on whether you are the law enforcement officer or the suspect. From a suspect's point of view, it is to remind you that you have a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and not incriminate yourself. From an officer's point of view, it is to help preserve the admissibility of your statements in a criminal proceeding” (Second Call Defense, 2014). There are four main principles to the Miranda statement that an officer will read; although the exact wording may change from police department to police department. Miranda warnings or rights basically state that: you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used against you, you have the right to an attorney, and you may be appointed an attorney if you cannot afford one. In addition, an individual may wave his rights outlined within the Miranda statements. Suspects can waive their rights to a lawyer and to remain silent by knowingly and voluntari...

In this paper I am going to be discussing the Miranda rights. What they mean to you, what they entitle you to, and how they came to be used in law enforcement today. I am discussing this topic because, one it is useful to me as a police officer, two they can be very difficult to understand, and three if they are not read properly to you when you are placed under an arrest it could actually get you off. I will start off by discussing the history and some details of the Miranda case.

The polygraph test consists of many steps, it even includes a pretest. Before taking a polygraph test, the examiner asks the examinee several control questions to understand how the examinee responds to questions, and to help detect if he or she is lying during the actual polygraph test. This is important because the examiner will analyze the test afterwards to decide if the examinee was lying or not. Questions that would have special meaning to the criminal but not to others are often used. During a test usually only 3 out of 10 questions are relevant. The other questions are known as controls. Setting up a polygraph requires several different parts. In order to record changes in blood pressure and heart rate, an arm-encircling cuff is placed on the upper arm.
Offense reports are usually one of the more detailed, if not the most detailed of police reports. These reports generally contain considerably “more information about the particular methods a crime has been carried out, the specific injuries or property damages sustained by a victim and all the different directions an officer took to investigate the crime” (Redwine). These reports usually contain all of the necessary information to obtain arrest warrants for the suspects, so that means that most of that information is not needed on the arrest report once the suspect is taken into custody. This form provides blank spaces for hand written information as well as a number of small boxes to be filled in. Most of the pages have coded numbers. These numbers refer to each specific crime, victim, witness, suspect and piece of property involved in the offense (Redwine). They take up most of the pages, and there is little where you have to actually write down a lot. Most of it is just filling in what number it
