Arson evidence does not need to be packaged separately from other evidence.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Question 2

Did Crist give authority to conduct a warrantless search of the green-brown backpack for the firearm?
 
  Police agents, acting on a tip that prison escapee Purcell was at a motel, went there and arrested him outside without incident. Fearing an explosion resulting from methamphetamine manufacture, police knocked on the door of Purcell's room. They heard a shower running and a fan blowing. After three minutes Purcell's girlfriend, Yolande Crist opened the door. She gave agents consent to take a quick look around. The agents observed two duffel type bag suitcases near the door and a green-brown backpack located between the bed and window. Some items in the room looked suspicious. Agents received permission from Crist to conduct a more complete search. Asked if there was anything dangerous in the room, Crist replied that a firearm was in one of the bags but did not indicate which one. An agent pointed toward one duffel bag and asked, Is it this bag? Crist responded that it might be. The agent opened that first duffel bag near the door, and as he searched it Crist said that was her bag because she set her purse on top of it. Upon opening the bag, the agent discovered marijuana but no firearm. The bag did not contain Crist's personal effects, but instead contained only men's clothing, indicating it was actually Purcell's bag, which he did not share with her. The agent did not ask her to verify whether she owned any of the other bags in the room. Shortly thereafter, another agent found the firearm in the brown-green backpack. After discovering the firearm, Crist said that she gave the backpack to Purcell for his use. The firearm was introduced to convict Purcell.
  What will be an ideal response?

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
