The Rule of Four means four of the nine justices must agree to hear a case in order for it to be accepted on appeal. If four or more justices think the case is worth the Court's time, then the Supreme Court will issue a writ of certiorari to the lower court ordering them to send the case files to the Supreme Court, and the case will be placed on the docket.

Was Homer Plessy sent to jail after his trial in the US Supreme Court?
No. Plessy didn't have a trial in the US Supreme Court; they heard an appeal of his case. After the Court made its decision, Homer Plessy was rearrested for the original "offense" on January 11, 1897 (according to a New Orleans warrant) and paid a $25 fine, but was not sent to jail.More InformationThe Supreme Court considered Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) under its appellate jurisdiction, meaning they reviewed the decisions of the lower courts on appeal, to ensure the Constitution was being upheld, but did not conduct a trial or rule on Plessy's guilt or innocence. By the time the case reached the Supreme Court, the issue under consideration was whether the Louisiana Separate Car Act that required racial segregation in railroad transportation violated the 13th and 14th Amendments of the Constitution.Homer Plessy's trial was before Judge John Ferguson (the Ferguson named in the case) in the Criminal District Court for Orleans Parish. Plessy refused to enter a plea, arguing instead that the Separate Car Act was null and void because it violated his constitutional rights under the 13th and 14th Amendments. He was found guilty without entering a plea.Plessy's attorney then appealed and filed for a writ of prohibition (an order from a higher court to a lower court preventing the court from exercising its jurisdiction) in the Criminal Court of Appeals, then in the Louisiana Supreme Court, and finally in the Supreme Court of the United States.Homer Plessy didn't actually enter a "guilty" plea until January 11, 1897, more than four months after the Supreme Court ruled on his case.Homer Plessy was rearrested for the original "offense" on January 11, 1897, according to a New Orleans warrant, and paid a $25 fine, but was never sent to jail.Case Citation:Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896)

The supreame courts usually what kind of cases?
There is no telling which case or what kind of a case the Supreme Court will hear. If a case is simple, it never will get to the Supreme Court. Cases that reach the Supreme Court have gone through one or more appeals processes. Sometimes a appeal reaches the Supreme Court when a federal court of appeals has made a ruling different from another federal court of appeals. In that case, the supreme court is asked to certify an issue. That is a fancy term meaning to play referee. The Supreme Court certifies an issue when it takes up an issue where district courts of appeal have made different rulings concerning the application of the same law. (Sometimes the Supreme Court refuses to take up the issue. In that case it simply states, "Cert. Denied.") Normally, all cases that reach the Supreme Court have come from the Federal Courts of Appeal or the Highest State Court. However, the Supreme Court reserves the right to sit as a court of original jurisdiction. The last time the Supreme Court granted a writ of Habeas Corpus was 1924. It retains that right. I doubt if any member on the Supreme Court has any idea under what conditions that would happen. Still, it retains that right.
Can a police officer bring a narcotic issue in to the federal system?
If what you mean by a federal system you mean a supreme court, then NO. The only person who can bring a case to the supreme court is a lower court. Typically a case will get heard in a circuit court, then if contested, the findings will be reviewed by an appeals court and if it gets farther than that it will be reviewed by a state supreme court and eventually (only if it is a federal issue) it will be heard by the US supreme court. So technically a police officer can't bring it there, but he/she can be the initiator of the case on the lower level.Cheers!
