In what ways can theory differ from reality in criminal procedure?
What will be an ideal response?
Some court decisions are made in the theoretical world, which is somewhat disconnected from the day-to-day operations of law enforcement within the real world. Americans are taught that the courts and the Supreme Court, in particular are charged with interpreting the Constitution and the laws of the United States. They are further taught that law enforcement should accept such interpretations uncritically and without much reflection. While these understandings are mostly true, theory and reality can still differ. Some Supreme Court decisions have little influence in the real world, and in some cases may even be flatly ignored.
