Hello everyone,
Im an international student from Sweden.
I have a very complicated project I need to accomplish by this wednesday.
I just need some directions toward what laws apply and so. I really appriciate all answers, and please for the most efficient way , email your answers to nimaeil@hotmail.com . Once again, thank you!
This is the case :
Facts: At 11:00 p.m. the Santa Barbara County Fire Department extinguished a small hay fire in a barn. At 11:15 p.m. sheriff Carr walked through the barn and detected the odor of gasoline. At 11:45 on his way back to the office, Carr stopped a speeding truck on a nearby road, driven by David. Carr observed that while cruising to a stop, David bent down twice toward the floor. Carr walked to the truck and ordered David to get out. David complied and closed the car door behind him. Carr then wrote a traffic ticket, handed it to David, and told David he could go. As David reopened the truck door, Carr saw a red gasoline can on the floor. Carr thereupon arrested David. Transporting gasoline in a vehicle’s interior is a misdemeanor. Carr promptly read David the Miranda warning, and asked if he would waive his rights. David shrugged his shoulders. Carr then commented: “I guess some people don’t know much about setting a good fire.” David responded: “I didn’t try to burn the barn.” Carr seized the can, told David he was a suspect in an arson investigation and removed him to the jail. Later, authorities learned that David owned the barn, but that he had leased the barn to a tenant. At trial, David asserts that all of the evidence obtained should be excluded because the search of the barn was illegal, the arrest was invalid, and his statement was made in violation of his rights.
