1. Plain View:
You and your partner are working the midnight shift. You stop a car for having no taillights. The car is properly registered, and the male driver has a valid driver’s license and insurance. Your partner tells you this person “gives him a bad feeling” and subsequently orders him out of the car. Your partner searches the car and finds a handgun under the front seat; he arrests the driver. At the station, the serial number of the gun is run through the computer and a hit is received indicating the gun was used in a homicide. When confronted with this, the suspect confesses. Your partner, knowing the search was illegal, fears the evidence of the gun and confession will be inadmissible in court. Your partner says he is going to write in the report that the gun was in “plain view” and tells you to go along with this so a murderer will not be back on the street. What would you do? Explain your answer and provide support from the text.
2. The False Report
You and a senior officer are on routine patrol. You come across a juvenile whom you have repeatedly seen in and out of court. You personally know him to have been involved in a total of six property crimes. You are tired of seeing him go through the “revolving door” of justice. Your partner suggests you file a false report on him. After all, the kid’s “got to pay” for his actions. Right?
