Express 31/10/2018 News The Fourth Amendment and the Potential Use of Field-Portable Mass Spectrometry Systems in Law Enforcement The advent of new technology presents new opportunities for forwarding thinking law enforcement administrators and new legal challenges for the courts. One such new technology is portable mass spectrometry.
