Question.

While we like to believe that those who are trusted to enforce our laws will always do so with the very best intent there are many examples where this does not occur. One specific case is that of Mayfield v. U.S. Brandon Mayfield and his family clearly had their rights violated and their case is one of the few that made a significant challenge to the U.S. PATRIOT Act and its potential for being unconstitutional. You can simply google Mayfield v. U.S. and read countless articles about the blatant disregard for the law, the ineptitude of various FBI agents and contractors, and a failure of their associated leaders. Mayfield a former Army officer honorably discharged practicing law in Oregon was the target of poor investigation. He was a suspect by the FBI in the 2004 Madrid commuter train bombings. Even though Spanish authorities conveyed to the United States that Mayfield was not a suspect the FBI seemed to match his fingerprints. Not just one FBI agents, but two, with one being a supervisor and a third being a contracted fingerprint expert who retired from the FBI. Because of their matching of the fingerprint the Mayfield family became the target of an overzealous surveillance operation, which put his family through a very horrible time. When reading about a case at this level and coupling that with many of the botched forensic work of the FBI crime lab in the past we must take pause and ask ourselves who is in charge. Nothing significant in terms of disciplinary actions seems to occur as a result of blatant failure hence there is no deterrent for poor investigative work. Given our form of government we must grow a new breed of leaders who are not afraid to right a wrong and take corrective action.

This unit’s discussion question will serve as a great precursor when we examine many of the laws enacted following the events of 9/11.

I am posting some of the links regarding this case here:

After reviewing the case of Mayfield v. U.S., offer your thoughts regarding how the U.S. government pursued Mayfield and the subsequent actions of Mayfield to sue the government.

Question 1: Do you feel the laws are appropriate and we must assume that there will be mistakes of this magnitude on the way or do the laws go beyond what the framers of our Constitution intended? Write 250 words

Question 2: What actions would you recommend, if any, following this case for the agents involved and for how we perform future investigations? Write 250 words

Please answer all questions with good solution and proper in text citation and Reference.
