Hi Stephanie, I received your June 12th email today, and I have made some changes to my final project per your suggestions. I've included the Common Core Standards, and have refined my essential question. Thank you,
How does Alaska law (AS 16.05.195) allowing the State to seize equipment (guns, ATV’s, boats, airplanes etc.) for violations of fish & game laws relate to the Eighth Amendment provisions of the U.S. Constitution prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment?
5. Contextual Paragraph
As it stands now, the State of Alaska Department of Fish & Game, under existing law, is empowered to seize the equipment of anyone caught violating Alaska’s complex hunting and fishing regulations. Even in cases of unintentional violations, all types of equipment, up to and including aircraft worth $100,000 or more, have been seized by the State and sold at auction, the net proceeds then deposited in the State’s general fund. In sharp contrast, autos and other equipment used in the commission of violent felony crimes, for example, are routinely returned to their owners or their designees after they have been processed for evidence. These primary source documents are intended to inform students’ exploration of the evolution of human rights in the West; the fully-developed unit will include more recent documents, especially as relates to legal precedents that have shaped Alaska’s fish and game laws. As students trace the legal progression to the U.S. Bill of Rights and beyond, they will be prepared to follow the case now working its way through the Alaska courts seeking to throw out AS 16.05.195 as unconstitutional, thus requiring a legislative re-write.
