9) In July 2000 the Police Dept. of Attleboro Massachusetts entered a private party without a search warrant. The party was not open to the public or in the business to make a profit. Any donations given were used to pay rent. When the police entered, they arrested two people.  The first person who was arrested organized the event. The second person arrested was arrested because she spanked her consenting adult partner with a wooden spoon. Do you support the actions of  the Attleboro police as given in this example? Why?

I do not support the actions of the Attleboro police in this example.  The actions of the police included an illegal search and seizure.  If this wasn't enough to convince me, the fact that all participants were conenting adults is enough to tell me that the police did not belong there.
