Study Notes
Constitutional Amendments
- Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
- Fifth Amendment guarantees the right against double jeopardy and self-incrimination, along with due process.
- Sixth Amendment ensures the right to a speedy trial, confrontation of witnesses, and counsel.
- Fourteenth Amendment mandates equal application of the law to all individuals.
Responsibilities of Peace Officers
- Peace officers must uphold citizens' rights under the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
- They are responsible for protecting civil rights in accordance with Federal Civil Rights Statutes.
Consensual Encounters vs. Detentions
- A consensual encounter occurs when individuals feel free to leave, with no legal justification needed.
- Detention requires reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and signifies no freedom to leave.
Reasonable Suspicion
- Reasonable suspicion exists when sufficient facts suggest a connection to criminal activity.
- It can be based on direct observations, training, experience, or information from others.
Appropriate Actions During Detention
- Officers may question detaining individuals, verify identities, and check for warrants.
- Cursory searches for weapons are permissible if there are specific safety concerns.
Use of Force
- Force may be used to detain someone attempting to leave but must align with Penal Code Section 835a.
- Cursory searches are limited to outer clothing to check for weapons without extending to evidence search.
Arrest Procedures
- An arrest is defined as taking someone into custody with full control justified by law.
- Officers must communicate the intent (arrest), cause (reason for arrest), and authority (proof of identity).
Warrantless Arrests
- A misdemeanor can be arrested without a warrant under specific circumstances, including domestic violence and DUI.
- Felonies allow for warrantless arrests when probable cause exists, regardless of witnessing the crime.
Miranda Warnings
- Miranda Rights must be read during custodial interrogation to ensure compliance with the Fifth Amendment.
- These rights include the right to remain silent and the right to legal counsel.
Interrogation and Admission
- Interviews involve questioning non-suspects willing to cooperate; interrogations focus on suspects, often in follow-up investigations.
- A confession acknowledges all crime elements, while an admission only acknowledges incriminating facts.
Legal Considerations
- Searches during detentions must be limited to safety concerns, and any findings cannot lead to further manipulation of items not constituting weapons.
- Statements made during custodial interrogation without proper Miranda advisement may be deemed inadmissible in court.
Additional Elements
- Statutory requirements dictate the disclosure of arrest information and handling suspected offenders.
- Use of force during arrest must be reasonable and necessary, aligning with applicable legal standards.
