Cаse 12.1 Pоlice respоnd tо аn аrmed robbery call at a local deli. The store owner shows the video of the suspect with a gun, provides the direction the suspect fled and tells police that $375.00 in cash was taken. The police spot the suspect fleeing on foot two blocks away and give chase. The suspect runs through a city park and is stopped near a playground. Officer Smith conducts a frisk of the suspect for the handgun but finds no gun. Officer Smith immediately asks the suspect "where's the gun?" The suspect hesitates and Officer Smith says "Look, there a lot of little kids here; we don't want one of them to find the gun and have a tragedy." The suspect points to a garbage can near the playground and states "it's in the can." Another officer retrieves the gun. The suspect is then taken into custody, searched and brought to the police station where he is placed, handcuffed, in an interrogation room. He is provided a written copy of his Miranda warning and the warning is read to him. The search of the suspect produces $ 450.00 in cash and a cell phone. The suspect is questioned regarding the gun and the robbery. The detectives present the now-unloaded gun in an evidence bag, which the suspect identifies as the one he threw in the can. The suspect admits the gun is his, claiming he found it a week prior in an alley by his apartment. He remains silent in response to questions regarding the robbery and states "I am not talking about anything else that happened today." The suspect is then directed to stand in a lineup with five other persons. The store owner positively identifies the suspect. The suspect is charged with the armed robbery, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes. In the above scenario, did Officer Smith's pre-Miranda questioning of the suspect regarding the location of the location of the gun violate the Fifth Amendment?
Cаse 11.3 Jаck hаs been released frоm cоnfinement early and placed оn probation. He found a job and rented an apartment in his hometown. One day, he responded to a knock on the door and sees his probation officer, Stephanie Stone. She tells him that she has decided to conduct a surprise inspection of his home. Jack insists that he has been a very good citizen and is no longer involved in any criminal behavior. Stephanie has no evidence that this is not true, but insists on conducting a complete search of the home anyway. Stephanie finds nothing out of the ordinary, but asks if Jack will follow her to the office for a drug test, just in case. Jack says, "Sure, I have nothing to hide." Unfortunately for Jack, the drug test is positive for an illegal substance and his parole is revoked.Was Jack's drug test obtained lawfully?
