Right to Privacy Case Study

Certain freedoms such as civil liberties and civil rights are concepts highly revered by Americans; however, there are times when these two concepts conflict in the name of safety and national security. The Digital Age is having a profound effect on the privacy of individuals in both their daily and private lives. With technology like cameras and smartphones, the activities of people are being recorded more, whether it is running a red light, entering a building, playing in a park, or using an ATM machine.

In this assignment, you will analyze a case involving public safety versus an individual’s privacy. Read the following article from the New York Times concerning Carpenter v. United States, a case recently decided by the Supreme Court.

Liptak, A. (2018, June 23). Warrant required for cellphone tracking data. New York Times, p. A1(L). Retrieved fromhttp://link.galegroup.com.libraryresources.columbiasouthern.edu/apps/doc/A543973598/ STND?u=oran95108&sid=STND&xid=753160e8

For more background on the case, here is a link to the actual opinion written for this case: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-402_h315.pdf

Please answer the following questions concerning this case. Address the questions in a cohesive essay. It should be at least two pages in length and should be double-spaced, and typed in 12-point Times New Roman font. Please be sure to provide an introduction to your essay,

  1. Which part of the Constitution addresses individual privacy rights? Do you believe that, with today’s technology, the Constitution still adequately protects those rights? Why, or why not?
  2. Describe the issue that was debated in this case. How was the need for public safety and security balanced with individual civil liberties and civil rights impacted by the final ruling in this case?
  3. Do you agree with the majority opinion or the dissenting opinion in this case? Explain your response. Where do you personally draw the line in this privacy issue?
  4. Explain how historical thought and tradition affect civil liberties and rights as they pertain to the issue presented in this case.
  5. Describe how politics can intersect with civil rights.
  6. What consequences do you support for those who violate constitutional rights?
  7. What, if any, compensation do you recommend for individuals whose rights have been violated by others?

Module 4 Assignment: Identity & Community

MR4 Final Due Date: Fri, June 15th at 11:45PM.

Worth: 5%

Minimum Word Count: 700 words Maximum Word Count: 800 words

For scholars, the selfie phenomenon represents a paradox. As an object, the selfie lends itself to cultural scorn and shaming. As a cultural practice, however, selfie circulation grows by the moment, moving far beyond the clichéd understanding of bored teenagers sharing narcissistic tendencies online. Selfies have come under considerable scrutiny and debate – ranging from discussions about ego-centric acts to empowering forms of self-expression that build local and global community. (Senft 2014)

For this module response assignment, you will be asked to select a popular Selfie as a case study for critical discussion. Ideally, this will be a Selfie that has received a lot of attention, and has been discussed and debated in the media – for whatever reason.

The Selfie artifact should be one that can provide a rich academic analysis and discussion about the fluid social boundaries of ‘egocentric’ and ’empowering’. The paper will provide some context and description of the Selfie that is selected in the introduction, and then critically analyze how the case study could be examined as an ego-centric act and/or (not both) an empowering form of self-expression – depending on context, the social location of the ‘viewer” – different people interpret and experience things differently. Discuss and theorize the social significance of Selfies, and how Selfies can build (or dismantle) local and global community. The paper MUST use academic sources for this discussion and analysis, otherwise it is simply opinion and description (which is not what is asked for).

You must follow the parameters of what constitutes a “Selfie”: “a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media” (dictionary meaning). This means that your photo/Selfie artifact:

-will not be a video

-will not be a photo of someone taking a Selfie of themselves (or a group of people)

-will not be a photo that is a portrait of someone (in which someone else is taking the photo)

Important Notes:

  • The ‘tone’ is academic and more ‘formal’; avoid first person, watch your vocabulary – do not be conversational, do not use contractions.
  • You must include a link to the Selfie you have selected in your Reference list (check how to format this entry properly in APA).
  • Your MR4 response must include at least three of the module four Required Readings, and at least one additional outside academic source (four sources in total). The link to the Selfie is not considered the outside academic source.
  • You are required to stay within the minimum and maximum word count, or you will be penalized .5 (half a mark).
  • Do not provide descriptive opinions and speculations, make succinct arguments that are supported by research and literature.
  • Double space your submission. Please pay attention to your writing style: grammar and punctuation matter. Have someone proofread your work. Your responses must have an introduction, body/discussion, and conclusion. Response submissions should not be one paragraph. No need for title pages, or running header this assignment.
  • Properly cite and reference any readings that you use in APA format. Submissions that do not cite and reference material properly will not be accepted and will result in a zero. This means, if nothing is cited in your submission – it will not be accepted. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they are meeting university standards for academic writing, regardless of what your home department is.
  • Do not use any direct quotes in your module submissions – Instead, rephrase and cite properly. You will be penalized .5 (half a mark) if you use direct quotes. Paraphrase and cite properly (this is a learned skill).
  • Please name your M4R file properly with course number, last name, and assignment name. For example: 2F00YourLastNameM4R.doc

How to submit this assignment:

  • Go to Assignments on Sakai.
  • Click M4R and and click ‘Add Attachments’. The file must be a .doc file, or a .pdf file. (Note: If you are using a Mac, you can convert a Pages document into a word .doc file by going to the menu bar and choosing: ‘File’ – ‘Export’– ‘Word’).
  • Files that cannot open and/or incorrect files will receive a grade of 0.
  • We will not be tracking down assignments: you must submit properly, on-time.
  • Check and double check to ensure that the file is attached and is the correct file. After submitting, definitely review your submission so you can see/confirm the file.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure that you have uploaded your file into Sakai. You have a maximum of five re-submission attempts BEFORE the deadline passes.
  • Late assignments are not accepted and will receive a grade of 0.
  • Assignments sent via e-mail will receive a grade of 0.
  • Do not wait until the last ten minutes to submit your module response.
  • Technological issues (ie my laptop froze at 11:44pm) are not grounds for extensions. You MUST have the appropriate (and reliable) technology to take this course – and throughout the duration of the course, and you must plan your time effectively.
  • This assignment is not ‘complete’ until it has successfully been submitted to Sakai before the deadline. Do not email screen shots ‘proving’ the assignment was done before the deadline in hopes it will be accepted – it’s not done until it is submitted electronically to the right place in Sakai.

  1. You are returning to your office from lunch, and you pass by the nurses’ station on the floor. When you get a little closer, you notice that there are a lot of people staring at some information on the screen. When you ask them what is going on, one of the nurses tells you that John Morris, a heartthrob celebrity, is staying in the hospital for treatment. None of the nurses looking at his records are actually treating this patient. None of the nurses are going to sell or leak the information, but they were just curious about his medical history.

    Is this still an example of a breach of patient confidentiality? Why, or why not? How would you handle this situation? What, if any, laws have been broken in this incident? Your best answer will include any valid defense that could be raised by the nurses.

    Your response should be at least 200 words in length

Then discuss the case’s impact on and significance for juvenile justice’s philosophy, protocols, and practices. What did the case mean for parental rights?

  1. Jerry Roberts, a 15 year-old boy, developed a crush on his teacher who was single and lived alone. Jerry began asking the teacher if she would go on a date with him. The teacher told the boy repeatedly that he was being inappropriate. The boy then approached the teacher and tried to kiss her. He was immediately sent to the principle’s office. After that incident, the boy became reserved in class. A few nights later, the doorbell rings at the teacher’s house. She answers and sees Jerry at the door. She states, “Jerry you must go home, it is not right for you to be here.” Jerry pulls out a hunting knife and says, “You had no right to turn me away @#$%. Now you’re going to make Jerry happy.” He forced her into the house and raped her five separate times throughout the night. He then choked her until she fell unconscious. He then slit her wrists and placed her in the bathtub. The teacher’s mother stopped by the next day because they always went to breakfast in the morning. She had a key to her daughter’s house. When her daughter did not answer she went in. She discovered her daughter and called 911. The teacher was taken to the hospital and remarkably survived. She conveyed all of the details of the crime to the police. Because of the boy’s age, he was referred to the juvenile court. The judge was outraged by the brutality of the case. The parents demanded to know what their son, Jerry, was being charged with. The judge and juvenile court complied with their request verbally via telephone. At the end of the adjudicatory hearing, finding Jerry guilty by a preponderance of the evidence, the juvenile court judge sentenced Jerry to a secure detention facility until the age of 21. Jerry spent two weeks in the facility. After extensive evaluation, the juvenile detention administrators wrote the judge telling him that the boy lacked remorse and was beyond rehabilitation. Upon hearing the report, the judge ordered that Jerry be released from the detention facility and then unilaterally without a hearing remanded him to adult court. The adult court convicted Jerry of 5 counts of aggravated rape and attempted murder. The judge ordered that Jerry serve two life terms in Colorado’s maximum-security prison.

You have been retained by Jerry Roberts to represent him in filing appeals. The lower appellate court is willing to hear your case. On what grounds would you appeal Jerry Robert’s conviction? In your appeal, be sure to identify any and all applicable procedural requirements, court precedents, and/or judicial rulings that would support your appeal. Do you believe you will win the appeal? Why or why not? (7 points)

  1. Julia Schaeffer, a 13 year-old girl, was caught by her coach abusing prescription drugs in the locker room at her school. Upon reviewing the details of the incident, the principal of the school referred Julia to the juvenile court despite her parent’s pleas not to. Once before the juvenile court judge, the parents requested to know for what their daughter was being adjudicated. The judge rebuked the parents saying, “You should already know what your daughter is doing, and if you don’t then your indifference disqualifies you from knowing the charges.” Without a hearing, the juvenile judge immediately and unilaterally ruled that Julia serve two years in a juvenile detention center as punishment for her offense. The parents objected to the ruling demanding that their daughter receive a jury trial. The judge responded, “I don’t need to provide a jury trial in my state.” The parents also told the judge that their daughter should have been provided counsel when she was referred to the juvenile court. The judge replied, “Your daughter did receive counsel. She was assigned an officer from the probation department to represent her when she was referred to the court.”

The parents, infuriated, call your law office. They retain you as counsel to file appeals on their daughter’s behalf. The lower appellate court agrees to hear the case. In presenting your case to the appellate court, on what grounds would you make your appeal? In your client’s defense, be sure to identify any and all applicable procedural requirements, court precedents, and/or judicial rulings that would support your appeal. Do you believe you will win the appeal? Why or why not? (7 points)

  1. Ted Thompson was a 13 year-old boy who was caught vandalizing, painting gang graffiti on residential houses. He was brought before the juvenile court. Ted and his parents were notified, in writing, of the charges being levied against Ted. After a review of the boy’s social history, it was discovered that both his parents were drug addicts and that Ted had turned to gangs as a replacement family. He had dropped out of school and regularly drank and used drugs. The judge determined that Ted was likely to one day become a hardened criminal who would likely pose a “serious risk” and a “danger” to the community in the future. The judge proceeded to send Ted Thompson, his family, and his attorney written notification that a detention hearing was going to be held. The judge then held the detention hearing at which it was determined that Ted Thompson should be detained until his involvement in the offense can be determined at an adjudicatory hearing. The judge proceeded to send Ted, his family, and his counsel written documentation of his decision. Two weeks later, the judge held an adjudicatory hearing to decide whether Ted Thompson was involved in the offense with which he was charged. Ted was found to be involved. The judge then ordered a dispositional hearing to determine if Ted should be placed in juvenile detention until rehabilitated. The hearing was held and the judge ordered that Ted be placed in a juvenile detention facility for treatment. The judge then submitted into the court record a written delineation of the reasons for his dispositional decision.

Ted retains you as his attorney to file appeals on his behalf. The lower courts refuse to overturn the conviction. The case is accepted by the Supreme Court for review. On what basis would you appeal Ted Thompson’s conviction? In your defense, be sure to identify any and all applicable procedural requirements, court precedents, and/or judicial rulings that would support your appeal. Do you believe you will win the appeal? Why or why not? (7 points)
