Supreme Court Rejects Expanded Home Arrest Powers

The Burger Court on Monday refused to hear California officials appeal to broaden arrest powers without warrants at a suspect’s home. The case centered on Michael K. Ramey arrested in Sacramento after police found marijuana during a tip about a stolen gun. The decision aligns with Warren era limits and narrows warrantless home arrests while addressing related Fourth Amendment concerns. The court also set guidelines for closing arguments in death penalty cases, and agreed to hear cases on aliens’ eligibility for state financial aid and seniority rights for a United Airlines stewardess.
