If memory serves, Alan Bakke was trying to get into Med. school.  He just missed the cut while some minority students who had lesser credentials got in.  This was basically the first reverse-discrimination case.\n\nI think he won, got into Med. school and is now a MD.

He's asking about California.  \n\nThe question is nonsense, however.  Section 1538.5 of the Penal Code is the statutory mechanism that allows unlawfully obtained evidence to be suppressed (kept out of court).  A 1538.5 hearing is held at the request of the defendant to determine if the government followed "the rules" when it obtained evidence to be used against a defendant in a criminal case.\n\nFor example, if a defendant is charged with possession of drugs based on a search of his person, the defense may file a 1538.5 motion to challenge the search.  The defendant may take the position that the search was unlawful and ask the Court to exclude the evidence obtained as a result of the unlawful search.  \n\nIn Danny's case, a 1538.5 motion might be filed to contest the legality of the checkpoint, the observations of his sobriety made by the officer who initially detained him, the observations made by the officer who evaluated him and ultimately arrested him, and/or the function of the breath machine or other chemical testing procedure.  There might even be more issues, but those are the significant ones.\n\nSo while the question really doesn't make sense, it at least shows the poster has an idea of what's going on.  A 1538.5 hearing is used to determine if the government did the things it's allowed to do by law and didn't violate anyone's constitutional rights.\n\nDanny - see my other answer to your first question.  I applaud your interest in safeguarding your rights.  However, if you acknowledge (even if only to yourself) that you were driving in violation of the laws in California concerning DUI (driving a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .08% or higher) then I'm left feeling like you need to accept that you potentially could have killed someone (or yourself) that night, and take your lumps.  If you think you can get off on a technicality, go for it if you want.  But really...you know if you were guilty or not, no matter what the legal beagles end up saying, and if you should be punished for making a bad decision, then take it and move on.  I know it's expensive and I know it has a *profound* impact on your life...but the impact you might have had on other lives that night makes your concerns look childish.\n\nEDIT 2/12/06: James F...I know, but that does not stop defendants from filing supppression motions against them.

I can't find the text of the decision online, but if you have access to LexisNexis or Westlaw, the citation for the case is 595 F. Supp. 1521. You could also go to a law library and look it up in the Federal Reporter. The ruling was made by a Connecticut Federal District Court in 1984.

I have no idea about the curriculum or year or whatever. I do know, though, that Berkley is not in southern California, and that USC is in the L.A. Area, so I would have to say that the answer is False.\n\nIt may have been at USC in LA, or at UC Berkley. I have know idea.

Not yet. There is a case near San Diego that will be heard by the courts.

Three Duke University Lacrosse players were accused of raping an African American exotic dancer.  The alleged victim is currently facing severe credibility problems because her story is not corroborating with the evidence.  \n\nThe DA, Mike Nifong, is under fire for pursuing this very weak case during his election season to boost support from the black community.  Indeed, the community just reelected him.\n\nThis he-said-she-said battle is developing into a perfect storm of a legal case because it involves race, sex, an elite university, and rocky town-gown relations.

On the heels of the Rodney King riots. The DA was ordered by the mayor to lose the case.  That is why they had inexperenced lawyers trying the case. OJ Simpson indeed lives a charmed life.

Actually Brown vs. Board was THE case that the Supreme Court used to establish federal authority over state authority. If you would like more information read the first 3 chapters of "Law 101" by Jay M. Feinman. Excellent book.

It was a supreme court case, Brown v. Board of Education (I'm assuming you mean in schools), and basically the supreme court unanimously ruled that it's unconstitutional to segregate schools based on race. This also provided a strong precedent in overturning other segregation.

I'm sorry to say I can't answer the question its one of the stupidest things I have heard of. Not you question, but how they can bend you over the table like that.\n\nauntb93 really there is no such nonsense in CA?  \n\nThe state where someone can sue you for cutting themselves while breaking into your house, and win.\n\nAn elderly couple in CA filed a lawsuit against their neighbor over her 5:00 a.m. baths.  She was taking a bath before work and the noise from here pipes was waking them up.  She tried the problem fixed and they still were not satisfied.\n\nA man joined a group to learn, among other things, to fly through self-levitation. Unsatisfied with the results, he claimed psychological and physical damages...and sued the group for $9 million. \n\nA woman went to her friend's house and asked for a haircut. Unhappy with her new look, she claimed her friend had willfully, intentionally, and maliciously cut her hair without her consent...and sued him for $75,000.\n\nA man was invited to his parents' house to celebrate the Fourth of July. He became intoxicated. And when one of the fireworks he brought with him to the party did not ignite, he went over to inspect it, and it exploded in his face. He sued his parents, the co-worker who sold him the fireworks and his employer. \n\nA teacher in CA got fired for having her students send letters to troops stationed in Iraq, while many teachers in CA had their students send letter to Governor Schwarzenegger on behalf of Tookie Williams without so much as a letter of reprimand.\n\nI grew up in CA and my dad made me read the whole paper before he would allow me to read the sports page.  I thought it was unfair then but today I'm glad he made me keep myself informed.  No nonsense in CA?  Don't make me laugh!
