''''''''''''''<·i!!·~•. II",""",,:;;;uI~ 1 I: ! I 1 I I Preface i i I A revolution in police patrol operations is quietly beginning. It has to do with police computers and fugitives. By the end of 1974, about 2,500 computer terminals were installed in police cars, and it is estimated that half of the nation's 75,000 police cars will be equipped with terminals by 1983. Competing with the vehicle-installed terminals will be hand-held terminals for patrol officers that are now in the developmental stages. These terminals will give police on patrol direct, electronic access to national computerized mes on wanted persons. The patrol officer will have a reply to a national search of wanted persons mes in as little as five to ten seconds. The revolution is the integration of fugitive retrieval in ordinary police patrol, and its beginning can be seen in the escalation of police dependency on computerized wanted persons mes to make decisions to arrest. Inquiries by local, state, and federal police to the national computerized file on wanted persons I ~. increased tenfold since 1968 to over nine and one-half million inquiries in 1973. I, The number of persons located after computer inquiry increased fivefold in the same period. There are dangers in this explosion in the technological capacity of police to know the wanted status of persons. Both the persons included in computerized fugitive files and the police acting upon those files could be harmed by the peU mell rush to technical refinement. The problem is not too much sophistication in police communication equipment or too tenuous a relationship between crime reduc­ tion and equipment, such as mobile terminals. It is the faint understanding of the social and legal implications in the enormous increase in the technological capability of police to know the wanted status of persons. There are potential privacy invasions to persons subject to arrest by officers with direct electronic access to computerized files on fugitives. In this type of arrest, the police are not \ relying upon accumulated perceptions of ('vents, but upon a system of storing and updating information. All discussion of privacy and police computers to date has centered on dissemination of arrest and conviction records. There has been silence on the privacy issues implicit in the expected reliance by police on national computerized files on wanted persons. Left unexplored is the right of persons to be relieved from harm due to arrest based on stale or inaccurate information in these computers. The police could also be harmed. The rules of law governing police in fugitive retrieval between states are intolerably inadequate to meet the growing xi Preceding page blank • I"'I":"~ .• ,,.}.,.,.. /' xii . :--. ----'--"- PREFACE capacity of pollce to acquire and exchange information on fugitives.

NOT THE KING'S BENCH Edward A. Hartnett* Speaking at a public birthday party for an icon, even if the honoree is one or two hundred years old, can be a surprisingly tricky business. Short of turning the party into a roast, it seems rude to criticize the birthday boy too harshly. On the other hand, it is at least as important to avoid unwarranted and exaggerated praise.1 The difficult task, then, is to try to say something re­ motely new or interesting while navigating that strait. The conference organizers did make it easier for me in one respect: My assignment does not involve those ideas for which Marbury is invoked as an icon. It is for others to wrestle in well­ worn trenches with exalted arguments about judicial review and its overgrown descendent judicial supremacy, while trying to avoid unseemly criticism or fawning praise. I, on the other hand, am to address more technical issues involving section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 and its provision granting the Supreme Court the power to issue writs of mandamus.

  • Commandeering Under the Treaty Power
    NOTES COMMANDEERING UNDER THE TREATY POWER JANET R. CARTER* In this Note, Janet Carter argues that the anticommandeeringprinciple announced in Printz v. United States should not constrain congressional implementation of treaty obligations. The Printz Court struck the balance between federal goals and states' rights knowing that Congress had alternative means of achieving its ends: the spending power and the threat of conditionalpreemption. Carter argues that those alternative means are largely unavailable,or at least less likely to work, when Congress is seeking to implement a treaty obligation. Therefore, the Printz Court's federal/state compromise will weigh too heavily againstfederal interests if applied to treaty-implementingprograms, suggesting that an absolute prohibitionon federal commandeeringpursuant to the treaty power is inappropriate. INTRODUCTION The powers of Congress, limited to those enumerated in the Con- stitution, are constrained further by the Tenth Amendment' and the general principles of federalism it embodies.2 However, in Missouri v. Holland,3 the Supreme Court held that federalism does not constrain * I would like to thank Professor Christopher Eisgruber for his generous guidance and advice, and Professors Barry Friedman and David Golove for their helpful comments.

X ("The powers not delegated to the United States by the Con- stitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."). 2 According to current Supreme Court jurisprudence, that is.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL THEORY OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT Gerard V. Bradley* INTRODUCTION We presently inhabit a "judicialized" regime of search and seizure. The "reasonableness clause" of the fourth amendment is universally understood to require a "common law of search and seizure," 1 yet one of constitutional stature. That is, it binds the states and cannot be undone by ordinary legislation. The purpose of this Article is to demonstrate that this near universal interpretation of the fourth amendment is unfounded. Indeed, it will be argued that the current view is contrary to the plain meaning of the fourth amendment, as historically recovered, and is inconsistent with the basic constitutional structure. Instead, the reasonableness clause, properly understood, does not authorize courts to do anything, but exists to affirm legislative supremacy over the law of search and seizure. Accordingly, the only judicially operative portion of the amendment is the "warrant clause." This interpretation can and should be installed as the operative premise of the fourth amendment.

  • The Constitution in the Supreme Court: the Protection of Economic Interests, 1889-1910 David P
    The Constitution in the Supreme Court: The Protection of Economic Interests, 1889-1910 David P. Curriet The Supreme Court's first hundred years virtually ended with the death of Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite in March 1888. Five of Waite's brethren-Stanley Matthews, Samuel F. Miller, Joseph P. Bradley, Samuel Blatchford, and Lucius Q.C. Lamar-left the Court within the next five years, and a sixth-Stephen J. Field-hung on after his powers had faded.1 By 1894, Melville W. Fuller2 presided over an essentially new Court consisting of David J. Brewer, Henry B. Brown, George Shiras, Howell E. Jackson, and Edward Douglass White3 in addition to the three holdovers, John M. Harlan, Horace Gray, and Field. Jackson and Field soon gave way to Rufus W. Peckham and Joseph McKenna; Gray and Shiras, after the turn of the century, were replaced by Oliver Wendell Holmes and William R. Day. William H. Moody and Horace R. Lurton served briefly at the end of Fuller's term, and another mas- sive turnover accompanied Fuller's death in 1910. Thus the per- sonnel of Fuller's twenty-one-year tenure is well separated from that of the preceding and following periods. Moreover, although twenty Justices sat during this time, eleven did the lion's share of the work: Harlan, Gray, Fuller, Brewer, Brown, Shiras, White, t Harry N. Wyatt Professor of Law, University of Chicago.
