A Saudi Arabian official has been shot dead in an upmarket district of the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, police say.

Eighty-four per cent of secondary schools and nearly half of all primary schools are experiencing difficulties with either the quality of their education, budgets or enrolments.

Defendant used a buddy’s work computer to do internet searches on “how to kill a baby, how to have a miscarriage, and how to find a missing person.” He was told before the search that the company could see it. The computer was password protected but the search history was available to IT. He was convicted of arranging the murder a 14 year old he impregnated. He had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the internet search history after the computer was turned over the police after the murder. State v. Robinson, 2012 Kan. LEXIS 149 (March 2, 2012). [The court did not have to go this far to show a lack of REP in the search history. It was somebody else's computer, and he assumed the risk it would be found and turned over to the police. That's all it had to say.]

An officer approached a van parked too long in a McDonald’s parking lot and he saw the occupants “moving frantically as if they were trying to hide something or retrieve something.” He yelled, “‘Show me your hands,’ and moved toward the front of the van; neither individual complied.” He pulled his gun, and ordered them from the vehicle and then searched for a weapon. This did not constitute an arrest, and was for officer safety. State v. Walker, 2012 Ohio 847, 2012 Ohio App. LEXIS 739 (2d Dist. March 2, 2012).*

Will Brazil's growth tempt migrants home from London

The fact that defendant was a little slow in responding to an officer’s command to put his hands on the steering wheel does not justify a protective weapons search of the car. The officer first called him "reluctant," then qualified it. In addition, the government used every innocuous fact to attempt to show reasonable suspicion and came up short [damaging its credibility in the meantime; like a lawnmower and weedeater in the trunk must have meant the defendant was trading for drugs]. United States v. James, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 28355 (E.D. N.C. January 19, 2012).*

Trash pulls and a records check of the resident showing a drug history was probable cause for issuance of a search warrant for drugs in the house. State v. Mooney, 2012 Ohio 852; 2012 Ohio App. LEXIS 745 (5th Dist. February 23, 2012).*

Police responded to a shooting call and asked for permission to look in defendant’s house to see if anyone was shot. Defendant let them in. The officer could see marijuana and scales in plain view in the kitchen and, through a floor heating vent, he saw marijuana in baggies. The officer removed the vent grill and pulled out what he could. Then he went to the basement to get the rest by removing the ductwork. All this was reasonable. State v. Smith, 2012 Ohio 845, 2012 Ohio App. LEXIS 737 (2d Dist. March 2, 2012).*
