the supreme court has struck another blow at the constitution fourth amendment protecting ci tizens from unreasonable searches and seizures in a 6 to 3 decision the high curt ruled that the police may conduct a protec tive search of the passen ger area of a car even if the suspect is out of the car and in custody the ruling extends the limits of a warrantless police search the supreme court had ruled in 1968 in a case named terry v ohio that the police were authorized in conducting a protec tive warrantless search or a frisk of a person stop ped while driving a car the rationale behind the stop and frisk law is the terry case was to allow the police to protect them selves from possibly arm ed suspects the court's recent decision extends this serach with a warrant now to property this ruling flies in the imcte ef ail concepts of duo process once a suspect is out of the car and in police custody a warrant should be required prior to an extended search especial ly where the search is not incident to an arrest writing for the majority justice sandra day o'con nor said a search of this type is justified if the police officer possesses a reasonable belief based on specific and articulable facts that the suspect is both dangerous and may gain immediate control of weapons i ask how can a suspect who is in police gain immediate control of weapons this decision appears to be an attempt on the part of the court to enhance the degree of discretion an individual police officer may exercise in an auto mobile search the purpose of requiring a warrant is to prevent the police from making arbi trary decisions and instead to require that an unbiased and independent party determine whether there is sufficient cause for a warrant to be issued the practical effect of this decision will be that the police will conduct searches of automobiles in the hope of finding incrim inating evidence these ashing expeditions on the part of the police are highly irregular and step on those individual free doms guaranteed by the constitution at what point >•>,!! this stripping of the fourth amendment end the tamers of the bill of rights certainly never suspected that such a sharp contradiction to their original intent would be upheld by the nation's highest court this is charles e cobb of the united church of christ tor civil rights journal thank you for listening an open letter community outraged over youth rape by rev e.g.seymour tuesday july sth at 4 p.m a very horren dous thing took place at the towne gardens apart ments when it was alledg ed that a ten-year-old girl was abducted from her home and taken from her home where she was alledgedly raped and sodomized there has been a lot of publicity concerning the situation public opinion has been very high but the main factor has been so skillfully avoided if it had not been for evangelist mary lafay ette profecying as to the whereabouts of the victim and the victimizer at the towne gardens the father and the mother of the child and other irrate neighbors would not have been able to find the man to save the child's life after the bloodhounds had lost the trail evangelist lafayette prayed and god through her touched the hearts of the national public to open their pocketbooks and send contributions to the child and her family i feel that it was the lord who stirred public opinion for there has been many rape victims and the person committing the crime has been caught but there has never been such a display of public concern so again i say and stress the point that it it had not been for sister mary's profecy it could have very easily have ended in a tragedy so why are they the news commendators refusing to let her testimony be known it will help people to believe and know that god still works through his prophets please mr and mrs public accept and recognize the truth that a true prophet walks among us in the person of evangelist mary lafay ette and through the grace of god as she predicted the whereabouts of the victim and the victimizer she can predict other crimes sister mary can be reached at the following number 892-2654 from 12 noon until 11 p.m thank you — authoress
