	Law of Suspects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Law of Suspects is a term which is used to refer to an enactment passed on September 17 1793 during the course of the French Revolution.
		It allowed for the creation of revolutionary tribunals to try those who were suspected of treason against the Republic and to punish those convicted with death.
		The law called for a general roundup of all suspects; it was a deeply comprehensive list, for example: those who, by their conduct, associations, comments, or writings have shown themselves partisans of tyranny or federalism and enemies of liberty [..]

		The suspects are John Allen Muhammad, 41, an Army veteran of the Persian Gulf War who qualified as an expert marksman in the service, and 17-year-old John Lee Malvo, a Jamaican citizen.
		The two suspects were taken into custody while they slept early Thursday morning when members of the sniper task force, in Kevlar combat gear and supported by helicopter cover, swarmed a Maryland highway rest stop in the pre-dawn darkness.
		A senior law enforcement described the Caprice as a "killing machine," with two holes in the trunk, one for the rifle, the other for the scope.

	Domestic Violence Protocol for Law Enforcement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In identifying the dominant aggressor, the officer shall consider the intent of the law to protect victims of domestic violence from continuing abuse, the threats creating fear of physical injury, the history of domestic violence between the persons involved, and whether either person acted in self defense.
		Once a suspect is arrested on a misdemeanor offense, he/she should be booked into the County Jail or Juvenile Hall unless the officer can identify a strong likelihood that the offense will not continue once the officer leaves the scene and that there has been no prior history of domestic violence.
		If a suspect is given verbal notice of the Order, the officer must advise the suspect to go to the local Family Court to obtain a copy of the Order containing the full terms and conditions of the Order (Family Code Section 6383(g)).

	Admission Problem
		Converse then contacted the chairperson of the law school committee of the South Dakota State Bar Association with his complaint, expressly referring to Vickrey as being "arrogant." There is no indication of a response from the chairperson in the record.
		Converse was also involved in a dispute with other law students, in which he threatened to file a lawsuit and warned the students that all lawsuits in which they were involved would need to be reported to proper authorities when they applied to take a bar examination.
		Further, Converse posted signs on the bulletin board at the law school denouncing a professor, in response to the way in which Converse's parking appeal was handled, and then went to the student newspaper to criticize the process and those involved in that appeal.

		The question of whether it is lawful to wage war on states that are complicit in or tolerant of acts of terror is a complex one that is engendering considerable debate.
		The cornerstone of international humanitarian law is the duty to protect the life, health and safety of civilians and other non-combatants such as soldiers who are wounded or captured or have laid down their arms.
		They allow law enforcement agents to use lethal force only to protect themselves and others from the threat of imminent death or serious injury-and not, for example, to kill a suspect fleeing arrest in the absence of such a threat.

	allAfrica.com: Uganda: Enact a Loosely-Worded Law for Very Suspicious Suspects (Page 1 of 1) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This law will neither require any specific provisions on who should be considered "highly suspicious" nor should it in any way address issues of measure, nature or extent of the degree of "suspiciousness".
		This law will definitely be left in the hands of those who despise courts, loathe judges and disregard the rule of law with evident contempt and viciousness.
		The "law of suspects" suggested here will have only one clearly written maxim: "Every suspect is as good as a guilty convict, as long as such a suspect is highly suspicious, and as long as the mighty patriots of this nation say so".

		The issue stems from the case of Larry Hiibel, who in May 2000 was arrested and convicted of hindering a police investigation solely because he refused to identify himself to a deputy sheriff.
		In urging the US Supreme Court to overturn his conviction, Hiibel and his lawyers argue that police are free to ask a suspect any questions they want, but the suspect does not have to answer.
		Supporters of the Nevada law say the act of asking and revealing one's name is far less intrusive than being frisked.

		The law provoked intense debate at the time, with some lawyers and politicians arguing that people who boasted about violent plans, or even threatened crimes, could not be convicted unless they committed a crime.
		In earlier, similar trials, suspects were acquitted because the courts found plans for terrorist actions not concrete enough.

	'Diplomatic Assurances' Allowing Torture (Human Rights Watch, 15-4-2005)
		(New York, April 15, 2005) Governments in Europe and North America are increasingly sending suspects to abusive states on the basis of flimsy “diplomatic assurances” that expose the detainees to serious risk of torture and ill-treatment, Human Rights Watch said in a new report released today.
		Officials in the United States recently acknowledged the transfer of an undisclosed number of suspects to countries where torture is a serious human rights problem, claiming they received diplomatic assurances prior to the transfers.
		But in an increasing number of those cases—so-called “extraordinary renditions”—the suspects have credibly alleged that they were tortured.

		Questions also emerged over what law or combination of laws would apply: the laws of the United States (both already-existing and later-enacted), the laws of other countries, or the handful of international legal principles, including those developed at multilateral trials born of earlier international and internal wars.
