Thanks Mr. Beat! I'm not an American and have never been to the states, but I still watch all of your videos because you make learning fun! It's always interesting to compare US cases to cases in other countries to see the difference in principals, values and approaches to legal issues. Thanks again Mr Beat - you're amazing! Much love from around the world!

[@iammrbeat]

Where are you from? That makes me so happy to see that there are those outside the United States that dig the videos :)

[@thealiamin]

Mr. Beat I'm a law student in the UK, and my lecturers and professors always draw distinctions between European laws and principles compared to the crazy Americans :p its interesting to see different approaches to civil liberties and human rights e.g. how European hate speech laws contrast with American freedom of speech laws, which are more protected. You're the type of teacher that every kid wishes they had, and I hope you can rest easy knowing that you've educated and improved the knowledge and lives of thousands of people across nations, cultures and continents, many of whom you might not ever meet in real life buy all are grateful to you nonetheless! Thanks again for the video and for taking the time to respond - as long as you'll be uploading videos, I will be watching!!

[@PCDelorian]

@@Nimish204 The UN don't think so, nor does any other civilised country on Earth allow it for prolonged periods of time. Solitary confinement should in theory reduce crime though, but only because the insane aren't guilty of crimes. It is extremely damaging to the mental and physical health of those exposed to it, whilst it can be necessary to be used in the short term for extreme circumstances, it is far too often employed for years over very minor infractions including insolence which could be talking too loud. If this wasn't bad enough jails use it as well meaning a good portion of people subjected to this torture are innocent in the eyes of the law since all people are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

The decision in Mapp v. Ohio is a very important precedent within the context of the 4th amendment. Police officers now have to have probable cause as well as a search warrant that describes with particularity what the scope of the search will be. A motion to suppress can be filed if the evidence was obtained illegally.

[@dreamsmichael9719]

This was amazing! I'm a Sophomore in high school and am taking a Criminal Investigation course. I have to write a paper on a search and seizure case and turned to KZbin since I learn better visually and not by reading. This broke everything down into things I could better understand to put into a paper, while still going into great detail. Thank you Mr. Beat, and I will be subscribing! :)

[@Treblaine]

Mapp is a god damn legal operator, putting it in her blouse was a smart move but she's like a chess grandmaster playing against a flock of pigeons.

[@PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

Glad they sided with Mapp, the police unlawfully broke in and charged her with ridiculous crimes that they weren’t even originally intending to find her guilty of. You shouldn’t be allowed to be charge with a crime even if you committed it if the police didn’t unlawfully and without original intent.

[@outmywritemind1739]

I mean, I personally disagree. If police enter a home to serve a warrant and in the process uncover evidence of child abuse, they should be empowered to investigate. The problem therein is that we don't have a system that easily differentiates between an officer legitimately being obligated to investigate a secondary crime and an officer so frustrated in investigating the primary crime that he more or less invents the secondary charge

[@gigiratliff5801]

Which of the Bill of Rights are most under attack right now?

[@zacharyclark4290]

It is in my humble opinion (for what it is worth) a tie between 1st and 2nd Amendments but the attack on any Amendment (including the 4th Amendment) scares me.

[@blueseanomad7435]

The Third Mr. Beat! Joking, of course. I'd The First, then again I'd say it's always under attack for various reasons.

[@zacharyhenderson2902]

Legislatively, I think the Second Amendment is the most under attack. In terms of the government just disregarding the law, I think the 4th Amendment is under attack the most.

Sure, individual violations can be punished even up to being suspended or fired, but if everyone decides to ignore it on a casual basis, well, you can't just dump an entire police force.

[@HistoryNerd808]

For the amendments most under attack, I would say the 2nd and 4th. At least SCOTUS is hearing a lot of cases on the 4th though. Hopefully, the 4th is restored with the Carpenter case this term. I love and agree wholeheartedly with Gorsuch's property rights interpretation(essentially he said the records belonged to Carpenter and therefore required a warrant, rather than a privacy interpretation). Interesting how the 18th and 19th century interpretation fits our modern technological world better than the 20th century one. For the 2nd, hopefully, SCOTUS hears more cases on the 2A because it seems like it's treating it as a 2nd class right

[@iammrbeat]

I didn't know about that interpretation by Gorsuch. I like it. He has been a bit of an enigma so far on the bench. I also agree the Court needs to hear many more 2nd Amendment cases. I mean, there have only been like 3 or 4 so far, right? Speaking of which, the US v Miller case is coming soon.

[@HistoryNerd808]

Mr. Beat This is a really liberal blog so it's very biased(just a heads up) but it explains his interpretation fairly well despite the obvious bias(even if it's a bias in favor of his interpretation) www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2017/11/in_carpenter_v_united_states_neil_gorsuch_showed_his_independent_streak.html I don't think he's much of an enigma, I think he's just an originalist in the mold of Scalia who was also willing to vote with the liberals on the 4A. And agreed on the 2A, the only major ones I can think of off the top of my head are Cruikshank (which I know nothing about), Miller, Heller, and McDonald. There was a case in 2016 where SCOTUS ruled unanimously that stun guns are protected called Caetano v Massachusetts but that's not a major case.

[@Compucles]

It's no more double jeopardy than the many other things excluded to people with previous criminal records. Cruel or unusual punishment? Not really. Violation of civil rights or due process? Nope, since as mentioned it's perfectly legal to target former criminals in certain ways; while they won't get in trouble again as long as they follow the rules, so their due process rights are still intact as much as anyone on parole.
