Freedom of expression is a protection under the First Amendment that grants individuals the right to publicly hold and convey their thoughts, opinions, and ideas through speech, writing, art, or any other symbolic act.

Freedom of speech is the right to speak, write, and share ideas and opinions without facing punishment from the government. The First Amendment protects this right by prohibiting Congress from making laws that would curtail freedom of speech.

Freedom of the press is the protected right to freely publish communications and expressions of opinions through various forms of media. Freedom of the press limits the government’s control or censorship over the media, except in the most severe national security risk potential.

Fresh pursuit is also known as hot pursuit or immediate pursuit, and means that the police officers have the right to conduct a continuous pursuit beyond their own jurisdiction in order to apprehend a suspect. 

Frisk means the quick pat-down search of a suspect's clothing to detect whether they are concealing a weapon or other dangerous contraband. The purpose is to ensure the safety of the police and others in the vicinity of the scene, not to collect evidence for trial. 

Fruit of the poisonous trees is a doctrine that extends the exclusionary rule to make evidence inadmissible in court if it was derived from evidence that was illegally obtained.

Full faith and credit is the requirement, derived from Article IV, Section I of the Constitution, that state courts respect the laws and judgments of courts from other states. This clause attempts to prevent conflict among states and ensure the dependability of judgments across the country. This does so by requiring courts to follow the judgments made on the same issue in another state.
