The Ultimate in Jurisprudence
BT DR. SAMUEL H. SUTHERLAND / PRESIDENT, KOLA SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES, INC. N OW WE HAVE heard everything1—and we do mean everything! The following news item which appeared in the Los Angeles Times February 1, 1970, is printed below in its entirety. If only excerpts were published, right-thinking people everywhere would accuse this editor of surely omitting something of signifi cance in the case. Here it is: Headline: “DIAPER SEARCH RULED ILLEGAL; PAIR RELEASED” : Dateline San Bernardino: “Narcotic officers here arrested two persons—one the moth er of a 9-month-old baby—after they said they found heroin in the child’s diapers. Arrested in December were Mrs. Ramona Padilla and Robert G. Cardova. But they were released Friday after a preliminary hearing before Muni cipal Judge Theodore G. Krumm. Their lawyers claimed the search was illegal since the child had not given its consent. Dep. Dist. Atty. Joseph A. Burns countered by arguing that ‘the 4th Amendment was not designed to protect the rights of a baby. . . . A baby would not have the occasion to demand such rights,’ he said. Krumm agreed with the defense. He said the baby did have the rights of a person, ruling the search unconstitutional.” The editor has read the above news item several times and still finds it almost impossible to believe. This is surely a land mark decision! Former Chief Justice Earl Warren and the mem bers of the Warren Court must be proud beyond words to realize the extent to which their decisions on the rights of accused crimi nals have gone. Judge Krumm (what a crumb!) must be proud beyond words in the knowledge that these two adults named above are now free to peddle their heroin to anyone who will pay the price for it. One wonders how many lives will be lost or how many individuals will continue on in a living death, because these pushers and/or users have this heroin available for their own hellish purposes. One cannot but wonder how much farther up the judicial ladder Municipal Judge Krumm will be able to climb as a result of this monumental decision. One wonders also how proud the people of San Bernardino (Calif.) must be to realize that they have a judge in their midst who exhibited such outstand ing judicial acumen in rendering a decision of this type. If this is allowed to stand, it means that robbers can go into a bank with a baby, take thousands of dollars of bills, hide them in the baby’s diapers and calmly walk out. The uniformed guard and policemen must stand by absolutely helpless to do anything
