In our textbook the Word, on the section Revising, the author explains the importance of revising your work after making a draft so as to produce a piece of writing that is polished and one that can be understood by others. The author indicates that revising can be done by checking the organization of your work and by looking at the bigger picture, and then proofreading and editing the final draft. I am of the opinion that the author is correct in his statement that writing under pressure may not result in the best results.
In the Excerpt from Utah v. Edward Joseph Strieff, Jr, the author Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissents with how police violate the Fourth Amendment rights. Essentially, Strieff explains how pedestrians are illegally stopped by officers without any evidence that they have engaged in crime. According to the author, the said act is largely excused and tolerated by the courts. I am in agreement with the author that law enforcement officers should not be permitted to arbitrarily stop pedestrians, i.e. without cause. In addition, the fourth Amendment rights should protect pedestrians against seizures and illegal stops. Therefore, the courts should not tolerate acts of this nature.

Now, technology has changed how persons communicate with each other as well as how they relate with their environment. I agree with Sullivan that technology use ends monotony, is more economic, and more efficient. However, automated and online life may deny people the pride of workmanship and deep satisfaction that is achieved when daily tasks are performed - especially to those who depend on daily tasks for livelihood.

Fourth Amendment It is a traditional belief in America that a man's home is his castle, meaning that he is lord and master of his home and no one may enter, not even the government, without his permission. This was such an important issue among the American colonists that it was included into the Constitution when they broke away from Great Britain. In short, the fourth amendment states that no private

Fourth Amendment For all Americans, the Fourth Amendment is an essential element of the U.S. Constitution that protects everyone's rights. This has influenced the way that the criminal justice system is interacting with defendants and the tactics that are utilized by law enforcement when conducting investigations. To fully understand how this is impacting society and legal proceedings requires studying various sources. This will be accomplished using academic information (i.e. books, case
Fourth Amendment "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized" (Cornell University Law School.

" The full force and authority of a regular police officer is necessary to make such an intrusion. Yet, such a police officer would not be able to summarily search or seize on the premises of a regular home. The homeless person's effects are; therefore, protected from unlawful search and seizure.
