I think in the future that those who deal with Due Process will continue to sway more and more towards the conservative side of politics. A good example of this is the recent case of Atwater vs. U.S where mother was arrested on the highway for having her three kids in the car without seatbelts. Is this treatment needed ? It is debatable, but I see officers gaining more and more power to do such things to enforce the public safety of the innocent and get away with it. In the this case I feel it would have been more appropriate to give the woman a ticket and make her buckle in her children as opposed to exposing them to an arrest of their parents at such a young age. This is the way the American Criminal Justice system seems to be shifting, however, we are constantly improving the wrong and continuing to uphold the right, so the ideals of Due Process continue their long tradition of providing for American citizens, and surely will for many years to come....
