Malaysia developed its economy by exporting timber, and this caused destruction of local nature, which was a serious threaten for global world. So government should decide how to respond to the western environmentalists, as they were threatening they would make an important restrictions against Malaysia. 2) Questions The important questions which may appear around this case are following: 1) What is the basic motive for western environmentalists?

Mass merchandise stores are vital to the company's performance, accounting for about half of Hanesbrands' total sales. Hanesbrands also allies with mid-tier stores, including J. C. Penney, Macy's, and Kohls, which are adding its lower-priced labels. It's L'eggs and Hanes brand underwear are also sold in food, drug, and variety stores. Hanesbrands also sell apparel to the US military for sale to soldiers and through discount chains, including Dollar General and Family Dollar Stores. Looking to grow abroad in 2014, Hanesbrands acquired DBApparel Group of France, a maker of intimate apparel in Europe, from investment firm Sun Capital Partners. DBApparel holds the license to manufacture and sell apparel under the Wonderbra and Playtex trademarks in the European Union, as well as several other nations in Europe and South Africa ("Hanes Brands Inc.", n.d). Hanesbrands hopes to identify and capitalize on the long-term megatrends related to their top product lines over the next five to 10 years. To this end, in early 2015, the company purchased Knights Apparel to expand its sports licensed collegiate apparel business with a goal of appealing to college students as that market grows over the next years and decades.

...Unreasonably Dangerous Underwear Dangerous product? A large guy (280-90 pounds) ironically won a one-week trip to Hawaii as a reward for selling more than $20,000 in diet products. But in a lawsuit against Hanes, the underwear maker, he alleged his “dream trip” went awry due to allegedly defective briefs which “gaped open and acted like a sand belt on my privates,” causing injury. We’ll let the court elaborate on this interesting products liability case: Plaintiff testified that by the second day in Hawaii he was in debilitating pain. However, … he ignored the pain until he returned to Pensacola two weeks later. He explained he was able to ignore the pain because he was enjoying himself so much on this long anticipated vacation that he did not dwell on or focus on the pain to any degree. Plaintiff testified he believed sand that he picked up in his swim trunks while enjoying the Hawaiian surf had irritated his penis. Over the next few days he and his wife “walked all over the place” until his condition worsened to the point that he “could hardly walk.” Plaintiff testified his inability to walk was caused by defendant’s defective manufacturing of his underwear which caused his “fly” to gap open. The gap resulted in his penis protruding from his underwear, whereupon the edges of the opening abraded his penis like “sandpaper belts.” … Under cross examination plaintiff admitted he never examined his penis to assess the problem and/or treat the problem. He testified he is a...

...of his two brake lights being broken. Originally, Heien consented to the search and the case seemed open and shut. However, the defendant is now claiming the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine- saying that the initial stop was illegal because North Carolina law only mandates that one of two brake lights be operational. The state, however, argues that the Good Faith exception applies, as the officer was not aware of this little known law. They are also arguing that the officer could use discretion as to whether the vehicle was safe to operate. On the other hand, Heien’s lawyers claim that just as ignorance is no defense for citizens, it should not be a defense for police officers. We covered the exclusionary rule through Weeks v US and Mapp v Ohio, which made it law for the US and the States respectively. We also discussed the Fruit of the Poisonous tree Doctrine in Silverthorne v US and Wong Sun v US. The good faith exception that the state is claiming stems from Herring v US, which makes evidence obtained through illegal measures admissible as long as the officer had no mal intent. If the court is to find that the evidence was in fact obtained in violation of FOTPT, then in...

...and seizure must be excluded in a federal criminal trial. The Court also held that the Fourth Amendment barred the use of evidence obtained through illegal search and seizure in a federal prosecution. With this ruling, the Court established the exclusionary rule. Mapp v. Ohio (1961) On May 23, 1957, three police officers went to the home of Dollree Mapp to search for a man, who was wanted in connection with a bombing at the home of Donald King. The police officers knocked on the door and demanded entry. Mapp telephoned her attorney, and the attorney advised Mapp to refuse the police from entering her home without a search warrant. Three hours later, the police arrived again and forced their way into Mapp’s home. As the police officers began to searched the home, Mapp demanded to see a search warrant. One of the officers held up a piece of paper purported to be a search warrant. The police searched Mapp’s entire home and searched a trunk located in the basement and found pornographic literature. Subsequently, Mapp was convicted for possessing obscene materials. In 1961, the Supreme Court made the exclusionary rule applicable to all state courts and law enforcement personnel in the landmark decision of Mapp v. Ohio. The Court held that although the search had...

...Kevin Clark Sr. Week Two Assignment CRJ201: Introduction to Criminal Justice Instructor: Ronald Kemper September 17, 2013 Week v. United States What is the main issue or question involved in the case? Weeks v. United States was a Supreme Court case that the Court unanimously held that the warrantless seizure of items from a private residence constitutes a violation of the Fourth Amendment. On December 21, 1911 Mr. Weeks was arrested by police without a warrant, at the Union Station in K.C. Missouri, where he was employed by an express company. While he was detained other officers entered his residency without a warrant and took several possessions that were turned over to U.S Marshalls. Later that same day The U.S Marshalls returned and took additional evidence to try and convict Mr. Weeks also without a warrant. What precedent or laws did the court use in order to come to its ultimate conclusion? The case raised a question about the Fourth Amendment. What kind of protection does the 4th Amendment provide for U.S citizens? How can the evidence gained by an illegal search be used? What kind of penalty will be issued to officers who gain evidence through illegal search? Mr. Week’s lawyers argued the 4th Amendment will be meaningless unless it provides some real protection. To say that people are safe from unreasonable search and seizures have no value unless it is clear that evidence from such searches cannot be used in federal court. Federal officials...

...fashioned, any evidence was allowable in a criminal trial if the judge found the evidence to be germane. The manner in which the evidence had been seized was not an issue. This began to change in 1914 ,when a federal agent had conducted a warrantless search for evidence of gambling at the home of Fremont Weeks. The evidence seized in the search was used at trial, and Weeks was convicted. On appeal, the Court held that the Fourth Amendment barred the use of evidence secured through a warrantless search. Weeks's conviction was reversed, and thus was born, “The Exclusionary Rule.” The Exclusionary Rule established in Weeks was constitutionally required only in federal court until Mapp v. Ohio. In Mapp, Cleveland police officers had gone to the home of Dollree Mapp to ask her questions regarding a recent...
