Chief Bryan Jenks has a problem. Many car burglaries are occurring in his town, in alleys. The mayor is up for reelection, and the community is demandingaction. They want the burglars arrested and convicted, no matter the cost. The mayor has demanded that all police resources be put into catching the criminals. He even has proposed a curfew of 6 pm be imposed citywide on all people except first responders. Before 6 pm, he wants all people walking in alleys stopped and identified. He would like the Constitutional requirements for arrest and conviction lessened, until the burglars are caught, as well.
What should Chief Jenks tell the mayor in light of the five “criminal Procedure ideals in the real world”?
