The assignment's goal is for you to apply what you've learned about the constitutional underpinnings and restrictions on criminal law in a real-life scenario. There are several possible constitutional answers to the question being posed, all of which will demonstrate your understanding of the role of the Constitution in restricting the government's actions in enforcing criminal law.
