      • How could the constitutionality discussed in the video extend to other current technologies?

The three videos listed below will be used for your discussion in this module. Be sure to watch all of them before beginning your discussion activity this week.

Video: Student on the Street: Cell Phone Search opens in new window (4:10)
This video contains a series of short interviews for which you are asked to consider the following: “The police are arresting you. Can they search your cell phone? Can they take a DNA sample from you?”

Video: Ruling on GPS Tracking by Police Leaves a Big Question (3:58)
This video explores the constitutionality of placing a GPS tracking device on a vehicle without a warrant. After reviewing this resource, you should be able to answer the following questions:

  • Is it legal to place a GPS tracking device on a vehicle without a warrant?
  • Can the police gather GPS data from devices that are installed by the suspect (e.g., GPS installed in a car by the consumer)?

Video: Can the Police Take Your DNA? (4:32)
This video explores the constitutionality of collecting suspect DNA samples that eventually result in charges for another crime. After reviewing this resource, you should be able to answer the following questions:

  • Can the police legally collect a DNA sample from a suspect even if they do not have a warrant?
  • Can the police charge someone for a different crime than the one they are currently suspected of, based on the results of their DNA test?
