INSTRUCTIONS:
Consider the following scenario: Before Simon returned home from his State B fishing trip, a State B wildlife officer, who overheard Simon’s conversation with the clerk, stopped Simon in the parking lot. As he peered through Simon’s car window, the wildlife officer asked Simon about the minnows. The wildlife officer explained that the minnows were contraband and asked Simon to turn them over so that he could confiscate them. Simon objected and told the wildlife officer that the minnows appeared to be healthy and that they were purchased from a reputable State A dealer. Simon demanded that the wildlife officer prove to him that the State A minnows had parasites. The wildlife officer declined. Eventually Simon turned over the minnows to the State B wildlife officer. Simon feels that his Fourth Amendment rights have been violated. Is he right? Using the Simon’s Food Truck (Minnow Nabbing!) Template.docx, explain the Fourth Amendment and how it protects citizens and others. Also, analyze and conclude whether or not Simon’s Fourth Amendment rights were violated. Follow APA formatting, including use of 12-point Times New Roman font. Correct use of citations and references is required. Refer to OCLS APA Writing Styles Guides for questions. When you have completed your assignment, save a copy for yourself and submit a copy to your instructor by the end of the workshop.
