Navigating Legal Frameworks in Digital Investigations: A Case Study of United States v. Steven C. Perrine
student
will post one thread of at least 500 words For each thread, students must
support their assertions with at least 3 scholarly citations in APA format..
Acceptable sources include peer reviewed journal articles, textbooks, the
Bible, etc.
United States v. Steven C. Perrine
518 F.3d 1196 (10th Cir. 2008)
The Perrine case illustrates how law enforcement must utilize the statutory framework to trace the source of criminal activity and then operate within the Fourth Amendment framework to seize evidence on the digital device that was the source of the activity. Some aspects of an investigation do not implicate any regulatory regime and law enforcement may, just like any private citizen, utilize the numerous ways that the Internet now offers to learn something to facilitate the investigation. Hence, an investigator passes in and out of three frameworks to obtain digital evidence: 1) statutes; 2) the Fourth Amendment; and, 3) non-regulated cyber-space. The point here is not to gain an understanding of the doctrines but to understand the complexity of such investigations, including passing in and out of various legal regimes during the course of the investigation. Picture yourself as the investigator in this case.
Question 1: What evidence of crime is there? (recount the facts of the case).
Question 2: Who is the criminal; how do the police find him?
Question 3: What do you do next? (Discuss the various legal regimes that the police must confront and how they must comply with those regimes. For example, search engines such as Google, public websites, and chat rooms offer a host of information to anyone who chooses to use them. Perhaps you could use a free IP locater service and enter the IP address in Perrine to show how easy it is to find who is assigned the IP address. Discuss all the steps you would take until you have seized Vanlandingham’s computer and why each step is important. -

“Tactical Plan for Gathering Intelligence and Identifying Hot Spots in Philadelphia” Introduction As the Chief of Police for the city of Philadelphia, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety and security of our community. In order to effectively combat crime,
Tactical Plan White Paper
Module 01 Content
In a 1 – 2 page white paper, create a tactical plan showing how you will gather intelligence about crime and how your department would identify the hot spots.
HERE IS THE COMPSTAT FOR PHILADELPHIA
https://www.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/b324008cbf0f4272bfc03f289ead0b15
Keep in mind the following criteria will be used to evaluate your assignment:
Choose a community where you can access crime and demographic information.
Locate the hot spots where most criminal activity occurs.
Describe the community, the type of criminal activity, where it occurs, and what resources you will use to gather this intelligence (data).
The assignment is formatted as a white paper (see resources)
Once again HERE IS HOW TO DO THIS PAPER:
For anyone not understanding the tactical white paper plan here it is in a nutshell as I explained it in the live lecture.
find a city – any city (I gave you Philadelphia so I already did step one for you)
look up the Compstat or Crime mapping for that city on the internet (I gave you the Philly one just to save you time).
Prepare to write your 2 to 3 page paper in APA format so first do your cover sheet, then do your double spaced essay and your last page is your reference page.
to write your essay you need to first tell me about the city you chose such as the demographic: race, gender, education level, socioeconomic status, crime rate of the town.
Then tell me (from you looking at the compstat) what types of crimes are most prevalent (again – look at the crime map I gave you from Philly).
Then tell me how you plan to identify where the crimes are happening (the answer is you will use CompStat) and how you plan to stop those crimes from happening in that city (you are the chief remember).
THAT’S IT FOLKS! THAT’S ALL THERE IS TO THIS WEEK’S TACTICAL PAPER (THE FIRST PART OF YOUR PROJECT)
NOTE – Be sure the paper displays proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure. -
Title: The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health: A Synthesis of Current Research
Essay length: 8-10 pages (this includes the content you will incorporate from Draft #1).
● You must use at least 8 sources in this essay. These include the sources you used for
Draft #1, and those you found for your annotated bibliography
● Your paper should contain an introductory paragraph in which you introduce the topic
and give the audience enough background to understand your discussion. Your introduction should end with a thesis statement which gives the reader a clear understanding of the main point of your essay [this can be the same intro you used for Draft #1, with appropriate revisions made].
● Do not discuss one article in its entirety first and then move on to the next article. Your sources should be synthesized throughout, and your paragraphs should focus more on the point you’re making rather than the articles themselves (think about the structure of Papers 1 & 2). Use clear and accurate topic sentences and include transitions. It’s okay if you don’t synthesize in every single body paragraph, but the majority of your essay needs to be a synthesis.
● Write well-developed paragraphs with concrete supporting evidence which illustrates your point and supports your thesis. Remember the paragraph structure – topic sentence, intro to your evidence/point, evidence, analysis, discussion.
● Include a cover page, in-text citations, and a reference page that follow APA style. Introduce all quotes with signal phrases that offer contextual summary. Use the Purdue Owl website for guidance on correct citations.
● Your work should be typed, double spaced, Times New Roman, size 12 font. Ensure your spelling throughout is correct and your essay follows standard grammatical conventions, and write in past tense when referencing your sources. -
