NewYork , ussc 386 767 1967 was a May 8, 1967 ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States , widely regarded as the end of United States American censorship of written fiction. Robert Redrup was a Times Square newsstand clerk who sold two of William Hamling publisher William Hamling s Greenleaf Classics paperback Pulp magazine pulp erotica sex novels , Lust Pool and Shame Agent , to a plainclothes police officer. He was tried and convicted in 1965. With financial backing from Hamling, Redrup appealed his case to the Supreme Court where his conviction was overturned by 7 2. The court s final ruling affirmed that written materials that were neither sold to minors nor foisted on unwilling audiences were constitutionally protected, thereby de facto ending American censorship of written material. After this decision, the Supreme Court systematically and summarily reversed, without further opinion, scores of obscenity rulings involving paperback sex books.

Pennsylvania v. NewYork , were two cases which were heard in 1972 before the U.S. Supreme Court. The initial filing was allowed at case citation 407 U.S. 206 and the final decision was ordered at 407 U.S. 223 1972 . When two states have a controversy between each other, the case is filed for original jurisdiction with the United States Supreme Court . This is one of the very limited circumstances where the court acts as original jurisdiction, e.g. a trial court. In all other cases the court acts as the highest level appellate court in the United States. In this case, Western Union had issued money order s that were either never redeemed or erroneously underpaid e.g. a money order for 500 paid as 300 , and enough time had passed that the value of the money orders was considered unclaimed property . In such a case, unclaimed money order escheat s to the state. The question of the case was, which state should get the money, the state where the money order was purchased, or the state where Western Union was incorporated? As is the practice in original jurisdiction cases, the Supreme Court had a special master hear the case and make a decision. The final decision ruled that when Western Union does not know who the purchaser or the person who redeemed it is and a money order is never redeemed, the money escheats to the state where Western Union is incorporated, e.g. NewYork. Where Western Union does know who the purchaser or redeemer is, and a money order is never redeemed or is underreedemed, the remaining money escheats to the state where that purchaser resides, subject to that state s rules for escheat of unclaimed money or property. The Special Master decided to rely on the logic of the previous decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in Texas v. New Jersey , ussc 379 674 1961 . The court approved the decision of the Special Master .

Dunaway v. NewYork , 442 U.S. 200 1979 , is a U.S. Supreme Court case that concerned the appropriate methods for law enforcement officers to elicit the voluntary cooperation of a person of interest where the present state of evidence may fall short of probable cause for arrest . A Dunaway warning may take a form similar to the following Mr. Smith, we d like for you to come with us in our car to the precinct house to discuss what happened here today. You re not under arrest, and you don t have to come with us if you don t want to. You re free to walk away from here at this time without saying anything more if you wish to do so. The idea is to protect the officer from allegations of false arrest. NB if the person chooses to leave the area, the officer will note this election in his investigative documentation of the incident. If when the case later develops to a point where the person can be brought in for questioning, the matter of the person s leaving the area will be among the topics covered and rather thoroughly in the subsequent interrogation.
