R. V. Macdonald 's Court Of Canada

III. Statement of Facts: Two Philadelphia officers observed Harry Mimms driving a car with an expired plate. They stopped the vehicle to issue a traffic ticket. One of the officers approached Mimms and asked him to step out of the car and produce his license and registration. Mimms alighted, whereupon the officer noticed a bulge under his jacket. Thinking the bulge might be a weapon, the officer frisked Mimms and discovered a loaded .38-caliber revolver. The other occupant was also carrying a gun. Mimms was indicted for carrying a concealed weapon and for unlawfully carrying a firearm without a license and convicted. Following a denial of a motion to suppress in the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, Mimms was convicted. The conviction was affirmed by the Superior Court of Pennsylvania but the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania reversed. The U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari and reversed.

Facts. A police officer received a tip from an informant, whom he had previously worked with and felt was reliable, that the Respondent, who was sitting in a vehicle early in the morning, had drugs in his possession. The police officer investigated the informant’s report by first tapping the car window and asking the Respondent to get out of the car. The Respondent lowered the window, then the police officer reached in and removed a fully loaded gun from the Respondent’s waist. The gun was not visible from outside the car, but it was exactly where the informant reported it was. A search was then conducted after the arrest: heroin, a second revolver,

In U.S. v. Windsor a same-sex couple (Windsor and Spyer) who met in 1963 and had been dating ever since registered as domestic partners in 1993 in New York. Worried about Spyer’s failing health they went to Canada to get married in 2007. In 2009 Spyer died and left everything to Windsor. At the time DOMA denied federal recognition to same-sex spouses, Windsor did not qualify for the marital exemption from the federal estate tax, which excludes from taxation “any interest in property which passes or has passed from the decedent to his surviving spouse.” 26 U.S.C. § 2056(a).

They do have knowledge of general areas where contraband, including weapons, are being carried."(ACLU footnote) Ultimately, the Illinois trial court denied Mr. Wardlow’s petition to suppress the handgun as evidence because the court’s believed that Officer Nolan’s pat down of Mr. Wardlow was in fact a lawful stop and frisk. The trial court believed that Mr. Wardlow’s fleeing gave the officers reasonable suspicion to believe that Mr. Wardlow was engaged in some sort of criminal activity. Mr. Wardlow was found guilty and convicted of the unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.

Terry was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. Terry motioned for the trial court to suppress the gun on the grounds that his Fourth Amendment right against unlawful search and seizure had been violated and therefore, the gun should not be admissible evidence in court. The trial court rejected the motion and Terry was convicted.

The police had a search warrant for the premises for weapons and evidence of gang activity. During her detainment, the police officers questioned Mena about her citizenship status. The district court sided with Mena and the Ninth Circuit court upheld the D.C.’s decision. The courts stated that detaining Mena in handcuffs throughout the search had infringed upon her Fourth Amendment rights, as well as questioning her citizenship.

Hudson was charged under Michigan law with unlawful drug and firearm possession. Hudson’s counsel moved to subdue the evidence from the record because of the violation of Hudson’s Fourth Amendment right when the officers prematurely entered his home. The issue was whether or not a violation of the “knock-and-announce” rule would call for the courts to throw out of all evidence found in a warranted search if police do not exercise the rule announcing their presence and giving proper time for the citizen to respond before entering the citizen’s home. Upon

In concurrence with King, requiring professors in Christian Charter schools to refrain from wearing non-Christian articles of faith is not a reasonable infringement of Section 2(a) of the Charter. The Oakes test was conducted to deduce that the Charter infringement is not justifiable in a free and democratic society. The first step of the Oakes test is to determine if the infringement is “prescribed by law”. A common law rule or regulation, in addition to legislation can constitute a limit “prescribed by law” (Sharpe & Roach, 2013, p66).

In the 2001 trial of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit’s case of Landrigan vs. Stewart was a great example of how behavioral genetics can have both a negative and positive effects on criminal cases Landrigan had filed a petition because he claimed he did not have an effective counsel during the penalty phase of his capital case (Farahany, Beret).. After four years of being sentenced he said he would have been cooperative if his attorney tried to offer evidence, that his biological background ‘made’ him a criminal. Even with his effort to chance his sentence the Ninth Circuit was unmoved. His background showed the court room his genetics will make him still violent in the future, because he cannot change his genetic

Terry appealed the case, claiming that the guns found should be inadmissible in court proceedings as evidence since his Fourth Amendment rights were violated. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court, where it was it was ruled that his rights had not been violated.

Many court cases within Canada regarding Indigenous people have been discriminatory. The Daniels v. Canada (Indian Affairs and Northern Development) case was legally and culturally inappropriate in many ways due to the lack of care for the evidence put forth by Daniels and obvious discrimination. Thankfully, once the case reached the Supreme Court of Canada, the previous trials and decisions were put to rest and a proper and legally sound decision was made. The Daniels v. Canada (Indian Affairs and Northern Development), 2016 SCC 12, [2016] 1 S.C.R. 99 case was filed by Harry Daniels in 1999. Harry Daniels wanted Metis and non-status Indian rights to be mentioned in the new constitution along side status Indians and Inuit. This would mean

They cuffed him and put him in a squad car, they tried kicking down his door, a police officer came to him and requested his keys that he had on his belt loop. After the second time of asking him for his keys the officer said that he could search without a warrant and took his keys. The officers entered his house without his consent or a warrant, As they were searching his house the officers found two medium sized gun safes. The dispatcher had told them about how many firearms were legally owned by the owner. They used the owner’s keys to open the safes and they found 8 guns, one of the guns was a m14 with certain modifications, one of the officers said he want this exact gun. After a few minutes of searching the rest of the house and unloading every firearm found they took them and kept the firearms for “safekeeping.” To this day the owner of the property still hasn’t gotten back all his firearms he got back 10 of them he is still missing 4 including the one the officers said that he wanted for his own. All the officers who were there on scene haven’t been charged with anything for violating the owner's 4th amendment right. The writer of this story said “Bear in mind: The man has done nothing illegal at all. All of the weapons that they seized were legally registered. And they were executing an

The court agreed with Miller and Layton due to the fact the Second Amendment gave them the right to bear arms. The Supreme Court reversed the district court, arguing the Second Amendment does not guarantee an individual the right to keep and bear a sawed-off double barrel shotgun. I personally agree with the court case decision. I feel that the right to bear arms should be with any arm you choose whether it’s a shotgun or pistol. The Amendment should be more specific if it’s going to have certain laws. Also states should maybe try to have similar laws with one another. This cease a lot of problem we have with other states. James Clark McReynolds writing for the majority, the Court reasoned that the Second Amendment doesn’t not protect the

Has one ever wondered about Canadian firearm laws. Firearm laws have been developing in Canada since the 1892. The Canadian government started creating laws like Bill C 83, Bill C 51, Bill C 17 etc to control firearms, but these laws are becoming more helpful and unhelpful. According to the government of Canada scene firearm laws and gun control were put into amendment, the country has seen both positive and negative changes. Firearm laws may have the advantage of preventing crime, additional injuries and / or fatalities, crammed prisons, loss of money and use of materials developing firearms, but correspondingly has the disadvantages of illegal purchase, different methods of armed attacks, delay of sports, cancellation of jobs and insignificant increase in pollution.
