Read this short article: EXAM 3 CASE 1.pdf   BEAVER — A minor traffic violation led to a significant drug bust in Beaver County on Tuesday, A car was pulled over about 6:20 a.m.on I-15 just north of Beaver for an illegal window tint and failing to illuminate the rear license plate, according to a police booking affidavit. When a Utah Highway Patrol trooper questioned the driver about his travel plans, he said he and his passenger “were headed to Utah to visit family but didn’t know where. He only knew it was close to Salt Lake,” the affidavit states. The trooper continued to ask various questions but got inconsistent answers. When the driver consented to having the car searched, troopers found a handgun in the trunk and magazines in the center console and driver’s door. “Also in the trunk was a backpack that contained a tobacco bag with raw marijuana inside. Behind the carpet in the trunk on the driver side were two large plastic wrapped packages of blue M30 pills consistent with those containing fentanyl,” according to the affidavit. After the car and its contents were seized and taken to the UHP office in Beaver, the pills were weighed “and showed a total weight of approximately 4 pounds which calculates to approximately 18,000 pills,” police stated. Aubrey Gray, 24, and Nehemiah Washington, 23, were each arrested for investigation of drug possession with intent to distribute. Gray was also booked into the Beaver County Jail for investigation of additional charges of being a restricted person in possession of a gun, possession of drug paraphernalia, marijuana possession and two traffic infractions. 2.

Explain what a Gerstein hearing is.

Name only two differences between the Gerstein hearing and the Preliminary hearing.

The police decided to run a sting operation from a budget motel downtown. They have posted sex ads on Craigslist and were flooded with so many phone calls that they had to add three more female officers to take the calls. The playbook for this sting operation was very simple and worked as planned: each john arrives and is greeted by a nice looking female; he pays the fee, and the female officer goes to the bathroom to undress while the john starts undressing as well. That’s when the officers enter the room and arrest the offender. A total of 50 johns were arrested.  A few of them decided to challenge the sting operation under the entrapment defense. Apply the subjective test or the objective test to explain why the johns will succeed/not succeed in their claim that the arrest was illegal
