Assignment One:

SLO  #1: Civil Rights versus Civil Liberties.  70% of students will  successfully analyze the nuances between civil liberties and civil  rights, as well as how the judicial branch interprets them.  [SLO #1  fulfills the following Program Level Outcomes: Communication, Critical  Thinking, Social and Personal Responsibility, as well as the following  Course Level Outcomes: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8.]

Activity for Assessment:

Civil  liberties and civil rights are mechanical components that have  tremendous influence on the way we live our life.  Each category can be  applied in different situations, to identify different experiences for  each individual.  People in the USA are beginning to question whether  democracy is worth fighting for as more instances are identified in  which human beings find themselves ‘above the law’.

In  chapters 4 and 5, we have explored the evolution of civil liberties and  civil rights in America.  Our ideas of what these concepts mean change  over time, as new issues and problems challenge our thinking.

For  this assignment, I want you to understand the difference between civil  rights and liberties and then look at contemporary areas of CONFLICT  between civil rights and civil liberties. We are going to focus in on  the 4th Amendment.

First, watch this video before starting your research: http://www.pbs.org/video/crash-course-government-23/

Then, research and consider each of the following for your paper:

• What is the difference between civil right and civil liberties?
• How have the courts ruled on them throughout history?
• Does the Terry Stop violate a person's rights? Explain. Do we have any inherent (Constitutional) privacy rights that would protect us from these type of issues? How has the Supreme Court decided on the following, with regards to our rights?  
  • Read the article in the attached link regarding Stop and Frisk https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/terry_stop_stop_and_frisk 
  • https://www.theroot.com/philly-cops-habit-of-fondling-black-men-sparks-greatest-1795698954 
• GPS Surveillance on a suspect’s vehicle without their knowledge.  Is a search warrant required? Explain.
• Using drug-sniffing dogs in the front yard around someone’s home.  Is a search warrant required? Explain.
• DUI checkpoints.  Is a search warrant required? Explain.
• Does  profiling take place?  Based on your research, how do you think  profiling may impact law enforcement decisions?  Are there any  potentialities of violating our civil liberties or civil rights with  regards to this profiling?  What has the Supreme Court decided in cases  that have been brought before them on this issue?  
• What  are your final thoughts with regards to civil rights and civil  liberties?  Do you feel they are in-tact or starting to dismantle?   Explain.
