A common example of this would be the accepting of free coffee. Many stores offer such things for appreciation of the officer’s work. An excellent example of this is the Holiday Gas Station in Marquette. The store gives free coffee to the officers of the Marquette area. Police courtesy is a common practice of not giving an officer a ticket upon pulling them over, for violations that a normal individual of society would regularly receive (Pollock, 2012).
Argument essay Recently the city of mesquite has passed a law prohibiting smoking in public restaurants. As a smoker myself I am not offended at all concerning the law and agree with it. The law aids in providing a healthy environment for everyone. It keeps the flow of business running more smoothly. For those people who choose to smoke there are alternatives to keep everyone happy.
Do you Think the Bloody Code Played An Important Part in Stamping out Highway Robbery Or were there Other Factors Involved? I think that many other factors were involved in stamping out highway robbery. I do not think the Bloody Code was a factor because it was not a sufficient way of catching the criminals, and if the criminals know that they have a large chance of not getting caught then they will most probably go through with the crime. There were no police around to catch them and plenty of other factors; like guns were cheap at the time made it easier for highwaymen to rob people. This is the main reason I do not think the Bloody Code played a part in stamping this out.
Author Peter Moskos took a different approach to writing a book about the police than most authors do. Instead of interviewing different officers form departments and believing all they have to say (because they never talk up stories or stretch the truth), Peter Moskos became a Baltimore cop and worked in the ghetto of the eastern district. In his book Cop in the Hood, he talks about the everyday struggles of being a cop and also talks about his personal view of policing and the academy. In the beginning of the book Peter talks about how useless he and other officers feel the academy is. He says that the sole purpose of the academy is “to protect the department from the legal liability that could result from negligent training” (22).
This also aims to convince the consumer group that they are making the right decision in choosing to use a particular brand (No Author, 2012). Coca-Cola has done this through marketing this product to young adults and adults who are known to skip breakfast and sometimes lunch. This drink provides a healthy replacement when not able to have a meal. This product allows the adult to have something healthy versus something unhealthy such as chips, candy, or other types of junk food. This product is also aimed at the health conscious adult that does not want to eat unhealthy.
Society in our world is used to seeing people take legal drugs (like cigarettes or alcohol) because they are allowed to be taken in public places. Illegal drugs, on the other hand, make you an outsider of society (except to drug junkies, who will see you as their best friend).The people in the New World get soma for free because it is, as already mentioned, all ordered and offered by the government. In comparison to that you have to pay for drugs in our world, and most of them have expensive prices that are only affordable to people with enough money. Legal drugs, however, aren’t as expensive as the illegal ones. This has the consequence that many people have to commit crimes and go into prostitution to buy the drugs they depend on.
“It isn’t feasible to expect a police officer to enforce every law to the letter. The criminal justice system requires officers to have flexibility in dealing with cases since the interest of justice doesn't require all offenders to be punished to the full extent of the law. Officers exercise a large amount of police discretion in dealing with many cases, and it’s important to understand how this works.” The topic that will be discussed in this paper is about police discretion for the class of law enforcement. The areas that will be touch on in this paper is the meaning of words, some myths about discretion, the advantage/ disadvantage about the use of discretion, the positive use of discretion with police officers, some consequences with
The police go to the state for funding for programs and they get turned away, laws are being created that the police have to enforce even if they do not agree with that the law is. There was a time when policing was based politics, if you wanted to be a police chief or higher up in the police department it was all about whom you knew. There was a time when corruption was just running rampant, police were not enforcing drinking laws or taking payoffs and then they would take the money and split it between all. State agencies do not always talk to the local law enforcement or if they do the government does not always give you the information you need. If government and local law enforcement would talk and share information it might make people trust
In my opinion, panhandling should be legal. If there is someone being an aggressive panhandler, they should be fined or imprisoned for harassment, not panhandling. People that are in need of money for food, rent, personal hygiene products and other things that are important, should be able to freely sit or stand with a sign asking for money. If someone does not want to give to them, they should accept that and not beg them to give them some money. Tourists normally look down on panhandlers because they do not like to be harassed while they are on vacation.
Voter Id laws are put into place so to insure registered voters are voting. Now days at most places you have to show your id to use your credit card, so I would think everyone would have one. Critics of voter id laws are saying it cost money for low income peonnie1ple to obtain proper Id, due to their lack of ability to get transportation, or the cost of the identification. In my opinion that’s a joke; if you can’t get to the id office; how would you get to the polls? I do wonder how a person can’t be responsible enough to get a free Id but expect to vote on things that affect everyone.
