Chapter 78: The Wind Rises in the Pacific
It was half past five, and it was almost time to get off work, so she got up, took the form, and walked straight to the director's office.
Los Angeles helmsman Capello is the official title director.
The office is in the innermost.
Pushing open the door, Capello was on the phone, saw her, motioned to wait, and then said a few words to put down the phone: "What's the matter?" ”
"That case, there are clues, I want to apply for a search warrant." Penny said.
"Then you just fill out the form."
Penny handed over the form, and Director Capello glanced at it: "This Shaun, the problem is big?" ”
"Yes, it is suspected that he is involved in the gang, and he has drugs in his home!"
"Are you a screenwriter?" Capello brushed the form back into Penny's arms, "Do you think the judge will approve this thing?" He would call and ask if I had taken a good look at the Fourth Amendment. ”
Penny shrugged: "I think the logic is pretty good." ”
"What do you think? Why isn't that expressed? Write clearly! Capello looked at her with a cold face, "What about Miller?" Why is there no signature on the report? ”
"Miller was injured when he went to the hospital with me to ask about this guy."
Capello frowned: "Injured? Something to do with this Shaun? ”
"Maybe!" Penny sighed, "I can't put it down, but the fact is, Miller has a needle in his ass in this guy's hospital room." He is still under observation in the hospital, and I have to take a leave of absence for him. ”
Hiss~
Buttocks, sitting on the needle, Capello gasped, and his eyes were numb: "How come?" ”
Penny recounts the entire afternoon of her and Miller's activities, including her visit to the pizza shop, her conversation with Sheaney, her conversation with the police officers, and her observations of Shaun.
"This person is indeed very suspicious!"
Director Capello stroked his chin with his hand and looked thoughtful.
The Fourth Amendment requires that the police have reasonable grounds for believing that the search will uncover evidence of criminal activity or contraband, and that there must be legally sufficient grounds to believe that the search is necessary to conduct the search.
If the reasons are not sufficient, first, it may not be approved, and second, even if it is approved, it may be found by the lawyer and the evidence cannot be used.
However, there has to be a strong lawyer behind him, and this Shaun, a Chinese food delivery person, can't get along with any strong lawyer.
He tapped lightly on the table and made a decision.
Now it is mainly necessary to get the judge to sign off on the search.
Searching the home of an ethnic minority can sometimes be sensitive.
There are many ethnic minorities in this country, Jews, Arabs, Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, African, Filipinos, Mexicans, Indians, Indians, Russians, 、......, the same unfair treatment, in terms of extent, the backlash of Chinese Americans may be the lightest, bloodless, who do you bully if you don't bully?
No one dares to move at will, this country is theirs, and since the California rebellion, Africans have suddenly opened up their minds to like blocking the streets.
Other people of any ethnic group are now grouping together, some with gangsters as the core, and some with ... The slogan is the core ......
There is not much movement among the Chinese, I heard that they naturally like to live a small life in peace, and they are only holding together to speculate on the house, and the land in California is hot, and I don't know where the money comes from.
Since I don't like the rebound, it's not a big problem to shoot hard.
Penny looked at Capello with a calm expression.
In Carroll v. United States in 1925, the Supreme Court held that the substantial grounds for a search could be a flexible, common-sense standard.
The specific explanation is that it requires the police to make a judgment based on specific facts under a reasonable and prudent mind, and that some items that may be stolen or contraband or can be used as evidence of a crime will be found during the search, but it does not require that such a judgment must be correct, or that it is more likely to be correct, and it is a "practical rather than technical" judgment.
I guess my reasoning is practical rather than technical! Penny thought to herself.
"Alright! You polish the reasons on this form well, and I'll send them to you, hoping that the judge will still have time to look at them. Capello looked at Penny and pointed, the judge had time off work.
"Need to hurry, this guy is still in the hospital, but I think he is about to be discharged, if he hides things in advance, it will be troublesome."
"Apply for a police dog!" The director said lightly.
"Miller's work injury..."
"Let's see the results! Isn't he in the hospital, so he'll be a surveillance. Capello shook his head, "The budget is so tight, if I didn't count him as a work injury, he would have to be picked up and scolded by the auditors at the next annual hearing!" ”
Penny shrugged, of course it's best to be fine.
After saying that, I turned around to leave, and remembered something important.
"By the way, Director," Penny asked, turning to her gravel, "what do you think of me?" ”
Hiss~
Capello was stunned, immediately looked at the door and window in a panic, and then turned his head: "What do you mean?" ”
"I mean," Penny said, holding up her hand and touching her face with a serious expression, "how hairy do I seem to you?" Hair doesn't count, just look at it that way. ”
"Not much! If you're better than this, you'll have to be at the bottom! Capello frowned at her, "What are you asking for?" You're going on a blind date? ”
"That's discrimination, isn't it?"
"Discrimination?" Capello was stunned.
"That Shaun, say I'm hairy, I want to sue him!" Penny leaned over and said.
Capello's expression was distorted.
It's not uncommon to tell people in such a sentence, but the bureau will come forward to do this, it will be a bit gossipy, there is more hair and less hair, this is a bit idealistic, and I am afraid that the press will be happier if it starts a lawsuit.
What's the point?
To set a standard for the future?
How long is the body hair to say that there is a lot of hair? Or is it discrimination?
American judges will be exhausted!
Capello covered his forehead: "Oh, you can't come forward in that bureau, you can find a lawyer yourself, but you can't get a few dollars, isn't he a food delivery person?" It's not a Chinese guy who came to California to speculate on land. ”
"Give him some pressure, it will help the case."
"That's it!" Capello touched his chin and looked at his agent, his thinking was a little strange!
"There are witnesses who agree to testify. The girl, Britney, heard it with her own ears. We made an agreement. The point is, you can put extra pressure on that guy! ”
Capello breathed a sigh of relief: "Then go ahead, if you need legal assistance from the bureau, I will call." ”
"Thank you, Boss!"
Penny smiled and turned away.
Looking at the closed door, Capello picked up the pen, turned it half a circle slightly, and sighed: Woman, there is no one to mess with! Be careful!
Penny stood in the aisle, feeling a little confused, and she hid Britney's claim that Shaun had "hurt" the three thugs without going out at all, like some kind of superpower.
But it may not be, who knows!
Law enforcers are not afraid of superpowers, and superheroes must abide by the laws of this country, even in the movies.
Penny sat at her desk with headphones in her ears as she listened to today's transcript for three hours throughout the afternoon.
The first paragraph, and Sheaney's.
The second paragraph, in the ward.
The third paragraph, and Britney's.
It's not a long time, but the content between them is very significant, it needs to be analyzed byte by byte, and she needs to re-polish the reason for the search and hand it in within half an hour, so that if she meets a judge who doesn't want to go home, she can get the search warrant back immediately.
However, this is very unlikely.
Because, this case has not yet reached the point where people will die if they are not searched immediately!
Logically intelligible.
It is not easy to impress the judge to immediately draw a charge on the search application.
Fast forward!
Fast forward!
While pressing the button, I listened to the recorded conversation, looking for the right wording.
Penny looked attentive and her pen was flying, and soon, the newly written search application was sent to Capello.
Now, get off work!
Walk out of the building and come to the surface parking lot.
The slanting sun shines in the west, pulling everything out of a long black shadow.
The Star-Spangled Banner on the straight pole in front of the FBI building sounded violently.
Penny stood beside the car, and suddenly felt a little panicked in her heart, because the storm was coming!
The wind was so strong that it ruffled her hair, and she raised her head, as if she saw that thousands of kilometers away from here on the ocean was turbulent, and a huge air mass rolled up millions of tons of seawater, which was coming towards Los Angeles!
