The first thing you need to do is read Mapp v. Ohio in chapter 10 of your text (you may have done this already.) Then you need to research and understand what 1983 actions are. Use the search feature of your text to look up 1983. Then you would answer the 1st and 2nd questions listed below.
1. Identify two elements plaintiffs in 1983 actions against state and local law enforcement officers have to prove.
2. Identify and describe two limits the U.S. Supreme Court placed on 1983 actions against state and local officers.
Please refer to the syllabus and chapter 10 and chapter 11 of your textbook. These questions deal with civil rights actions under Title 42 (section 1983) of the Civil Rights Act. Refer to the information dealing with Lawsuits against State Officers.
