In any episode of the popular television show Law and Order,
questions of police procedure in collecting evidence often arise.
Was a search legal? Was the evidence obtained lawfully? Did the
police follow the rules in pursuing their case? While the show
depicts fictional cases and scenarios, police procedure with regard
to search and seizure is a real and significant issue in the
criminal justice system today. The subject of many Supreme Court
decisions, they seriously impact the way police pursue their
investigations, the way prosecutors proceed with their cases, and
the way defense attorneys defend their clients. This book answers
these questions and explains these decisions in accessible and easy
to follow language. Each chapter explores a separate case or series
of cases involving the application of the Fourth Amendment to
current police investigatory practices or prosecutorial conduct of
the criminal trial. The police-related cases involve topics such as
searches of suspects (both prior and incident to arrest), pretext
stops, the knock-and-announce rule, interrogation procedures, and
the parameters of an individual's reasonable expectation of
privacy. The prosecutor-related cases involve topics such as jury
selection, the right to counsel, and sentencing. This important
overview serves as an introduction to the realities and
practicalities of police investigation and the functioning of the
criminal justice system when search and seizure becomes an issue.

Throwing light on a timely and controversial subject, this volume
considers the privacy rights of alleged criminals, convicted
criminals, crime victims, and justice personnel—and the violation
of those rights—in light of post-9/11 privacy policy changes.
This revealing book answers many crucial questions. What legal
surveillance, search, and seizure authority do criminal justice
officials have when investigating crimes, monitoring criminals, or
regulating justice personnel? What factors have contributed to
changing guidelines and practices? What protections do persons have
when they interact with the criminal justice system? What are the
privacy implications of surveillance and search practices in public
places, such as schools, workplaces, or public areas? What methods
and technologies are used in surveillance, search, or seizure? How
do we balance individual privacy rights against public safety?
Using real-life stories, Under a Watchful Eye: Privacy Rights and
Criminal Justice reveals the threats to personal privacy when
individuals come under investigation—whether warranted or not.
Covering privacy of the home, workplace, computer, personal records
and communications, and other areas of personal concern, this book
is an important reminder that, when it comes to invasion of
privacy, we are all vulnerable.
