http://www.knowmyrights.org/knowledgebase/case-law/4th-amendment-supreme-court-cases
Who?
A police officer and three men
What?
Robbery
When?
Doesn't say
Where?
In front of a jewelry store, Ohio
Why?
When a police officer watched three men pace in front of a jewelry store, he began to get suspicious. When he frisked them he found that they were involved with illegal activities. The men then appealed that this was against their fourth amendment right, saying that this was unreasonable search and seizure. The Supreme Court decided that the officer did not have reasonable evidence to support the needing of a frisk and sided with the men.

Pablo Ortiz was was one of the people trapped high in the Twin Towers when the planes hit. Pablo was named "The Hero of the 88th Floor" after him and Frank De Martini saved nearly 50 people that were trapped. I think he is a hero because even though he was trapped himself, he helped save so many people and ended up sacrificing himself to save so many.
