It is undisputed that Mr. Roberts, who had a history of depression and borderline personality disorder,
telephoned his girlfriend and stated that he was somewhat depressed. A team of ofcers arrived at Roberts’
apartment, rang the doorbell, and pounded on the door until he responded. When he opened the door a
little bit, ofcers burst through. The door hit him in the head and knocked him to the floor and the towel in
which he had wrapped himself came of, leaving him naked. The force of the entry also ruptured a plastic
bag of used kitty litter, placed near the front door. The ofcers did not have probable cause so Roberts was
never arrested. Discuss any possible cause of action that Roberts may have under the United States
Code and what he will need to prove to be successful in his claim.

In Mapp v. Ohio (1961), the United States Supreme Court was asked (among other things) to
decide whether or not an Ohio state statute concerning pornographic material was
unconstitutionally vague.  What did the Supreme Court decide?

vague.
B. They decided that even though the Ohio statute was vague, it was a matter of states rights
to decide about pornography.
C.They decided they wanted to address another issue entirely and instead decided the case by
extending the reach of the exclusionary rule.

probably ever existed anyway and decided the trial court was wrong in the way it interpreted
that fact.
