According to this appeals court, what errors were made by the judge at trial?
First off, the judge was wrong by allowing the jury to even deliver a verdict on discrimination claims against Thiesing for 2,200,000 dollars. Thiesing was the prosecutor and this case was not about what Thiesing did as he was the prosecutor and brought the case to court not the defendant. I feel as though the judge should have kept the jury on track by not allowing other issues not relevant to the case at hand to be admissible. On the other hand the judge also did not allow the jury to look at the evidence of the case with a clear mind due to the plaintiff’s counsel only desire was to ignite the passion in the jury emotionally instead of on the evidence. The judge should have never allowed the jury’s feelings to get so emotional that a verdict and awards would have been as high and harsh as they were for this type of hearing. It went too far and the judge never intervened.

Would the police violate a suspect’s Fourth Amendment rights against unlawful search and seizure by secretly placing a GPS tracking device on the suspect’s car for an extended time without first securing a warrant to do so? Explain. See, for example, United States of America v. Lawrence Maynard, 615 F.3d 544 (D.C. Cir. 2010); petition for rehearing en bane denied, United States of America v. Antoine Jones, 625 F.3d 766 (D.C. Cir. 2010).
Justices who commenced to talk about the 4th Amendment concluded that when you go and put a GPS on someone’s car it constitutes a search. To do this, you must have a warrant, it is now the law. Police would not do this without first securing a warrant because if they did so and found evidence that they were looking for but did not have a warrant, the evidence they found would not be admissible in court.
