Discussion 3

 

Week 3: Discussion

The United States vs. Carey, 1998

Prologue 

Carey had been under investigation for possible sale and possession of cocaine and his residence as the center of operation. Six (6) months after the last purchase, the law enforcement officers obtained a warrant to arrest him. During the arrest, officers observed in plain view, a device for smoking marijuana in his residence and labeled the unit as marijuana in defendant’s apartment.

Plan of Action

Alerted by these items discovered in Mr. Carey’s apartment, the law enforcement officers asked Mr. Carey to consent to a search of his apartment. In clean and clear language, the law enforcement officers informed him of the intention to obtain a search warrant to search his apartment if Mr. Carey refused permission. After considerable discussion with the officers, Mr. Carey verbally consented to the search and later signed a formal written consent at the Officer’s station.

The search warrant was all-inclusive; thereby, authorized officers to search the filesystems on the computers for names, telephone numbers, ledger receipts, addresses, and vital documentary evidence about the sale and distribution of controlled substances.

Discoveries

1:1. Armed with the consent, the officers returned to Mr. Carey’s apartment the same night and discovered quantities of cocaine, marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms; took two computers believed to demonstrate evidence of drug dealing.

1:2. During the examination of Mr. Carey’s computer, investigators found files with sexually suggestive titles and the label “.jpg” that contained child pornography. 

1:3. In the process, investigators temporarily abandoned the search for evidence about the sale and distribution of controlled substances and focused on child pornography files, and Mr. Carey was charged with one count of child pornography.

 Court Proceeding

  • In the appeal, Mr. Carey challenged child pornography count as inadmissible and unacceptable because the computer was taken as the result of a general, warrantless search out of his apartment
  • Law enforcement officers contention was the warrant authorized them to search any filesystem on the computer that might contain data and information germane to drug crimes, cocaine, marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and asserted that child pornography came into plain view during the search. 
  • The court concluded that the investigators exceeded the scope of the warrant and reversed Mr. Carey’s conviction.
  • The Law enforcement officers adopted “Plain view doctrine” that must have not been extended to embrace wide-ranging search warranties from one item to another until something incriminating emerges.

Precautious

  1. Digital forensic investigators must be extremely cautious and avoid breaching the fundamental principle of digital forensic investigation.
  2. Digital forensic investigators inadvertently abandoned the search warrant and overstepped the authorized limit of the search warrant.  
  3. Investigators engrossed in child pornography files. Notably, Mr. Carey was charged with one count of child pornography.
  4. Tactlessly, Digital forensic investigators failed to obtain a new search warrant before conducting extra search on Mr. Carey’s child pornography operation.

Answer All Questions: (1:1 – 1:3)

Question 1:1. Provide a comprehensive plan of action on Mr. Carey’s count germane to drug crimes, cocaine, marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Question 1:2. Provide a comprehensive narrative and concluding evidence on Mr. Carey’s use of the computer to compiled names, telephone numbers, ledger receipts, addresses, and vital documentary evidence on the sale and distribution of controlled substances.

Question 1:3. Describe the immediate danger of Mr. Carey’s modus operandi germane to drug crimes, cocaine, marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and child pornography in a developing rural community?

Discussion

Python Programming

Requirements

For the following problem:

– Each module must be written in Python and submitted as an executable .py file (NOT the Jupyter notebook file)

– Each module must have header comments at the top of the program that include:

o The Course

o The assignment number

o The submission or creation date

o The author’s name

– Comments should be used to help explain your code if it may need explanation

Question 1

Write a module that simulates the rolling of 1 or more dice, then compare the theoretical with the actual results.

– The user must be asked how many dice will be used in the simulation. The number of dice should be between 1 and 16 inclusive. Your code should validate the user entry.

– The user must be asked for the number of rolls of the dice to simulate. Your code should validate the user entry to be a positive integer with a minimum value of 1.

– Your program must count the number of times each total of the dice faces appears. For example, if you have 3 dice, you will count the number of times 3, 4, 5, …. 18 appears.

– Your program must display a list of values representing the percentage of the total that each total appears, the theoretical likelihood, and the percentage error between the two values.

The name of the file must be of the form: FirstName_LastName_A02_Q1.py, where FirstName and LastName are your first name and last name respectively.

(continued on next page…)

Question 2

Write a module that counts the number of times each word appears in paragraph.

– The user must be able to enter a number of sentences. You can assume that each sentence ends in a period. (No other punctuation needs to be considered.) You may use any mechanism you wish to enter the sentences. However, you must explicitly tell the user what they need to do when entering.

– When the user finishes entering the sentences, the program displays each unique word found in the paragraph, along with a count of how many times that word appears. The list must be displayed in alphabetical order.

– Unique words are not case sensitive. For example, ‘House’ and ‘house’ are considered the same.

The name of the file must be of the form: FirstName_LastName_A02_Q2.py, where FirstName and LastName are your first name and last name respectively.

Writing

Heinrich Koch is a second-year college student. Last semester his best friend had his laptop stolen. The laptop was an old computer that he planned to replace soon, but the greatest loss was his data: he had not performed a backup and all his data was lost. Heinrich himself does not perform data back-ups but knows that he needs to do that on a regular basis. He has decided to use an online backup service that will auto-matically back up his data whenever it changes. Evaluate and compare reviews of online backup services. Consider iDrive, Carbonite, Acronis True Image, BackBlaze, and others you might find in your research. Recommend a service that you consider the best solution for Heinrich. Discuss your reviews and mention speed, security, and features in your recommendation.

Requirements:

  • APA format, 3-4 pages in length (excluding cover page, abstract, and reference list)
  • Minimum of 2-3 peer reviewed resources
  • The paper must be 3-4 pages long. double space, and must have an introduction with a clear thesis statement, a body discussing the three main points and a conclusion
  • Conduct research to find relevant information using reliable sources to support your views; Use at least 2-3 peer review resources
