Maryland v. King

 On 1/9/2012, The Court of Appeals of Maryland heard oral arguments in the case of Maryland v. King. The issue related to whether the police can take DNA swabs from all persons arrested for certain violent felonies. The court issued its opinion on 4/24/2012 ruling by a 5-2 vote that to do so constituted a violation of the 4th Amendment prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Go to the Maryland Courts website, then click on Courts on the top of the page, then click on Court of Appeals, then on Webcasts, then to Oral arguments archives, then to September 2011 term, then scroll down to 1/9/2012, #68, click on it and the oral arguments should start. 

Next, Google the case and read the Court of Appeals opinions.

Upset with the decision, Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on 2/26/2013 and on 6/3/2013, the Supreme Court announced its decision, by a 5-4 vote, and issued its opinions. Now, Google the Supreme Court opinions and read them. Pay particularattention to Justice Scalia’s dissenting opinion. He was almost always pro-police.

—Which side do believe is correct—and why. Give cogent legal reasons for your opinion.

—I would also like to know your opinion of the respective oral arguments by each side in the Court of Appeals of Maryland.

Mass-energy equivalence states that mass is oonoentrated energy. In his dteory of special reiatiyity Einstein formulated the equation E=rncfl2. There is a tremendous amount ol energy in mass. A Eng marble contains as muchenergy as a soc kiloton hydrogen bomb. but this energy is yery difficult to release. It can be released through matter—antimatter annihilation. when matter and antimatter dome together. Nuclear reactions can be understoodto release so much more energy than chemical reactions because ofthe mass changes. 2} How much mass-energy is there in 1 gram ol matter [about as much mass as a paper clipi? Assuming youcould conyert this entire mass into energy. for how many years oould you mn a 1430 w light bulb orl‘l the energy oontained within this gram of matter?
