When do the police need a warrant? If the Fourth Amendment has been violated, does the exclusionary rule apply?

When does a seizure occur? What are the types of searches and seizures? What interests are protected by the Amendment? Who has standing to challenge the intrusion? When is a search or seizure justified? When do the police need a warrant? If the Fourth Amendment has been violated, does the exclusionary rule apply? It also offers insights on motion hearings practice, detailed examination of the principles related to consent searches, and sessions on warrant issuance and review of that decision, warrant execution issues, and searches without warrants. These latter searches include exigent circumstances, community caretaking, inventory searches, automobile searches, frisks, and searches incident to arrest.

The New Digital Forensics - March 5, 2013 Basic overview of “digital forensics” investigative approaches that are responding to the challenges presented by rapidly evolving technologies such as cloud computing, ubiquitous and diverse mobile devices, and pervasive use of home and office networks. Essentially, as we move beyond the nearly-exclusive focus on “dead box” or “postmortem” computer forensics that has been the subject of training for twenty years or more, we must now be cognizant an array of forensic “specialties” or “branches” relevant to both criminal investigations and civil discovery. Accordingly, the discussion will define and touch on the highlights of:
