One fine morning in 1962, law enforcers in the United States pursued a man they suspected of robbing the Diamond Cab Company located in Baltimore. The police carried out a search in his house and confiscated a number of things including outfits. Though Hayden's wife allowed the law enforcers to rummage the house, they found Hayden upstairs pretending to be asleep. The outfits he was wearing were used in the recognition and detection of the crime of burglary. The certainty of the crime was acknowledged. In this case, confiscating of Hayden's possessions supposedly necessitating the fervor of the case was disputed as being illegitimate due to the fact that these possessions had exclusive significance in the form of proof. Subsequently, Hayden appealed for a centralized court order of habeas-corpus. According to Casenotes, "the district court denied the petition, but the fourth circuit reversed, holding the items to have had evidentiary value only and, therefore, not to be subject to search and seizure. The supreme court therefore granted review" (8)
[...] The ruling of the appeal posited that the rummaging was constitutional on the basis of the Fourth Amendment. The court on the other hand argued that the inclusion of the outfits did not impinge on the rights of the accused in regard to security and confidentiality. It is important to consider the fact that there must be a relationship or link connecting the personal belongings and the delinquent activity. Conclusion In conclusion, law enforcers in the United States in 1962 received intelligence from eyewitnesses who pursued the felon of his whereabouts. [...]

[...] Due to his in-objection, Hayden was found guilty of robbery. When he found out more court happenings were not in favor of his side, he opted for an appeal in the central court (Karagiozis and Sgaglio 264). Though he was deprived of his right initially at the district courts, this judgment was overturned by the court of appeal judges. Appeal The fact that the confiscated possession could provide sufficient proof on its own does not mean that its confiscation is illegitimate. [...]
