Answer to Question 1

In Exhibit 6.1, Reflections on Law and Technology, retired magistrate Judge John Facciola discusses several of the effects of technology. Included in his discussion are the topics: most criminal warrants today are issued for electronic information; judges need to be technologically adept and understand technology; challenges to the Fourth Amendment particularity requirement when searching electronics; and the need for lawyers to read outside of their field.

This is one example of a correct answer, others may apply.

Answer to Question 2

There are three major exceptions to the knock-and-announce rule: (1) where knocking and announcing would reasonably present a threat of physical violence to the officers executing the warrant; (2) where the officers are in hot pursuit of a person who retreats into a dwelling; and (3) where police officers have reason to believe that knocking and announcing would result in the destruction of evidence that police were coming to search for.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
