Assignment 2: Terry V.Ohio 392 U.S. 1, 88 S. Ct. 1868, 20 L. ED.2d 889, 1968 U.S.

Due Week 8 and worth 150 points

The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution limits the power of the police to make arrests, search people and their property, and seize objects and contraband, such as illegal drugs or weapons. These limits are the bedrock of search and seizure law and are ultimately at the root of your right to privacy.

Analyze the following case in preparation for a systematic approach to your synthesis of law and fact:

• Terry v. Ohio located at http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=392&invol=1

Write an eight to ten (8-10) page legal Memorandum paper in which you:

1. Summarize five (5) key aspects of Terry v. Ohio.
2. Posit whether or not you believe law enforcement violated Terry and the other men’s right to privacy which the Fourth Amendment guarantees. Justify your position.
3. Examine the dissenting opinion of Justice Douglas, as discussed in the case. Discuss the origins and importance of probable cause as it relates to law enforcement’s discretion to search Terry’s car in this case.
4. Examine the two part test provided by the Court in Terry that first asks whether the officer’s action is justified at its inception; and second, asks whether it is reasonably related in scope to the circumstances which justified the interference in the first place.Discuss whether or not this test leaves officers with too much discretion when making a determination to stop an individual. Provide a rationale for your response.
5. Examine the Court’s holding in Terry that provides that probable cause is based upon the totality of the circumstances. Review the factors that help shape the totality of circumstances, such as specialized knowledge of the officers, investigative inferences, personal observations of suspicious behavior, and information from other sources. Question whether these factors in question are too subjective to establish probable cause. Provide a rationale for your response.
6. Debate the validity of the Court’s holding that “whenever a police officer accosts an individual and restrains his freedom to walk away, he has “seized” that person with the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Justify your response.
7. Use at least two (2) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Initial question: Identify two key strategic decisions made by your current team, department, or organization. How could those decisions have been enhanced by optimization models? Support your rationale with evidence from readings or external research.

Respond to this : A key strategic decision made by the current organization was in contracting with an outside company for patient sitter services. There is a great need for these services to reduce patient falls, decrease healthcare organizations liability and to ensure all licensed and certified healthcare providers are functioning at the highest level of their certification/licensing. The healthcare organization typically garners assistance from other disciplines within the organization; security guards, dietary workers, housekeeping, etc.… at a rate that is typically one and a half to two times their base pay. This has cost the healthcare organization millions of dollars over the last year. Contracting these services to an outside company will also be costly; even if there is a savings. Optimization of this situation would be to minimize cost. I would create an in-house pool for patient sitters for resource leveling. The objective would be to increase profit and decrease sitter cost. The constraint of the optimization would be in trying to ensure that all sitter cases had a dedicated sitter without the use of overtime or outside contractors.

Another key strategic decision made by the current organization was in increasing the number of operating rooms being used by lead surgeons on weekdays. The goal was to perform more surgeries in fewer days. As they scheduled more cases the operating room was unable to staff all the cases appropriately. The objective of this decision was to generate more revenue in a shorter period of time. The constraints of this decision was the lack of staff to accommodate the volume. The optimization of this decision would be to reduce the number of cases each day and balance the O.R. schedule based on staffing.

The final exam is a final written response to Jason de León’s Land of Open Grave. In a short essay of
1,200 words you should address the following:
1. Using at least three specific examples from the book, citing the location of your examples,
illustrate how the intersection of global politics and economy, US border enforcement and
immigration policy, and the environment of the Sonoran Desert have transformed the lives
and cultures of people in North, Central, and South America.
2. Describe in detail how reading Land of Open Graves has changed or otherwise influenced the
way you perceive a specific cultural process, political agenda, or ecology in contemporary
local, national, or global space.
3. Your response should form an integrated, coherent narrative. Use your daily reading notes,
but don’t just copy/paste.
Notes:
1. If you cite another paper of book in your response you must provide proper in-text citations
as well as the full reference information in a separate bibliography. A bibliography page does
not count toward the word minimum.
