Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper in which you describe the key elements of the rights guaranteed by
the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments and their impact on criminal procedure by the courts and
police officers.
Include an explanation of how the Bill of Rights applies to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment.
According to "Criminal Procedure “Criminal procedure deals with the set of rules governing the
series of proceedings through which the government enforces substantive criminal law.
Municipalities, states, and the federal government each have their own criminal codes, defining
types of conduct that constitutes crimes. Title 18 of the U.S. Code outlines all federal crimes.
Typically, federal crimes deal with activities that either extend beyond state boundaries or
directly impact federal interests. Criminal procedure is the body of state and federal
constitutional provisions, statutes, court rules, and other laws governing the administration of
justice in criminal cases. The term encompasses procedures that the government must follow
during the entire course of a criminal case, ranging from the initial investigation of an individual
suspected of criminal activity, through arrest, arraignment, plea negotiations, pre-trial hearings,
trial, post-trial motions, pre-sentence interviews, sentencing, appeals, and probation and parole
proceedings. The rules of criminal procedure may also apply after a defendant has been
unconditionally released following an acquittal. For example, the Double Jeopardy Clause of the
Fifth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution may be invoked by individuals who are facing
prosecution on charges for which they have already been found not guilty. Criminal procedures
are designed to safeguard both the innocent and the guilty from indiscriminate application of
substantive criminal laws (i.e., laws prohibiting rape, murder, arson, and theft, etc.) and from
arbitrary or abusive treatment at the hands of law enforcement, the courts, or other members of
the justice system. At the federal level these safeguards are primarily set forth in three places: the
Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Title 18 of the United States Code sections 3001 et seq.,
and Amendments IV, V, VI, and VIII to the U. S. Constitution. The rules and statutes reference
each other, and both are designed to enforce and delineate in greater detail the rights established
by the federal Constitution”
In this paper, I will discuss and describe the key elements of the rights guaranteed by the Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth Amendments and their impact on criminal procedure by the courts and police
officers. Law enforcement officers have a great deal of authority and power to enforce the laws
of the United States, it is important there are checks in place to protect citizens from this
