Most of the following selections were taken from letters-to-the-editors columns of newspapers and magazines. identify any fallacies that may be committed, giving a brief explanation for your answer. then, if a fallacy is identified, discuss the possible factors that led the arguer to commit the fallacy. the supreme court recently ruled that a police department in florida did not violate any rights of privacy when a police helicopter flew over the backyard of a suspected drug dealer and noticed marijuana growing on his property. many people, including groups like the anti-common logic union, felt that the suspect's right to privacy outweigh the police department's need to protect the public at large. the simple idea of sacrificing a right to serve greater good should be allowed in certain cases. in this particular case the danger to the public wasn’t extremely large; marijuana is probably less dangerous than regular beer. but anything could have been in the backyard – a load of cocaine, an illegal stockpile of weapons, or other major threats to society.
