This case shows that law controls the conditions before and after execution of warrants. The warrant was executed by Officer Chris while he wasn’t wearing formal attire. He also conducted an outside search and found a gun and a letter. Steve was suspicious and made damning comments at his house as well as the station. Here are the key points: search warrants, searches, seizures and warrant execution. Also, exclusionary rule, right against self incrimination and Miranda rights. A search warrant should only be executed by an officer who is wearing the field uniform. Chris, however, was not. Also, the warrant states that the officer must not examine or seize goods from the second floor. This violates Steve’s privacy. According to the Fourth Amendment, there can be strong expectations of privacy in one’s own home, or at an exclusive place such as a restroom (Dripps 2017, 2017). Chris purposely delayed his arrest to not give the Miranda warning. To be able to arrest him later after gathering Steve’s ongoing incriminating remarks. He advised Chris, for example, not to take part in the heist and he did so without asking him.
Chris conducted an illegal search on Steve, but he was not accused of a crime. He may contact a civil or personal injury attorney to discuss filing a complaint or lawsuit. The evidence against Steve will likely not be used in court.
