Nebojsa Sarkanovic Mr. Pletsch CLN-4UI December 21, 2012 The PATRIOT ACT: A Danger To Society “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever” (George Orwell, 1984). The United States of America is place outsiders look at as a land of freedom and opportunity; a safe haven for democracy and liberty. Unfortunately theses promises seem to be empty. In a country whose citizens demand both freedom and protection, the government has not been able to sufficiently meet its people’s needs. On September 11th, 2001, an extremist terrorist organization attacked the USA.
On September 11, 2001, the United States was invaded for the first time since the War of 1812 also known as “America’s second war of Independence”. Terrorist’s that had been living in America boarded and hijacked civilian airlines, leading to the deaths of many American’s. By no means should we forfeit all Individual Privacy Rights but we should find a way to work with the government that protects us to better our National Security. The terrorist acts of 9/11 forced the U.S Government to take action and create the USA Patriot Act, signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. This act reduced the restrictions for U.S. agencies gathering information and intelligence within the United States.
Use of force is a very important part of an officer’s ability to keep themselves and the public safe, but is also very controversial. The first thing anyone should try, if not in immediate danger, is to verbally diffuse a situation. If an officer can use words to get compliance from a criminal, then he or she won’t have to worry about defending their actions in court. There are no ethical issues involved with this level of the continuum. The use of restraint holds and chokes is a very dangerous thing if used improperly, but has many advantages when done correctly.
Assignment: Police Ethics and Deviance William Benson CJS / 210 April 11, 2011 Amanda Dean Police Ethics and Deviance Police officers are provided with a huge amount of responsibility and authority. They are also in clear view of the public and must maintain a good standard of ethics. Unfortunately for the majority of upstanding and very ethical officers there are always a few that are deviant and less than desirable. Modern technology and advanced media seem to focus strongly on the stories out of the norm, thus creating a much higher standard for police to live up to. The ethical standards of police officers are vital to the relationship of the department and the community.
Pros and Cons of Closing Guantanamo Bay American National Government Instructor: Nicole Reale Janet Talley October 29, 2012 Pros and Cons of Closing Guantanamo Bay After researching and much reading, I found it hard to write solely on keeping Guantanamo Bay open. Before I read all the information that I did, I was dead set that we should keep it open, but now I am not so sure about my thoughts. I do feel that we need to give the President the right to make decisions in war times and even when the United States of America has been exposed to terrorist. The Scope of the President’s independent war powers is notoriously unclear, and courts are understandably reluctant to issued constitutional rulings that might deprive the federal government as a whole the flexibility needed to respond to crises. As a result, courts often look for signs that Congress has either supported or opposed the President’s actions and rest their decisions on statutory grounds.
Although you can interpret these works of authorities to different situations, they is no information on how to deal with modern day situations (internet, electronics, etc) which leads them to being pointless in some cases. On the other hand, as you can refer to them, they set a perfect guide line in how to deal with different situations. Another key source of the constitution is Common Law. They are usually principles which have been developed and applied to the British courts when a law is unclear the judge will interpret the case to another one in the past. I reason why this source is effective is that it can be interpreted to fit into any situation in court and it sets a guide line for judges when dealing with different cases which would help things run more smoothly for the judges when in court.
However, as newspapers typically do not use formal documentation within the periodical's pages, and because Hardin does credit her expert sources in text, this may not seriously damage her claim. People in the academic or research world in particular may take issue with this omission. Hardin strengthens her ethos, however, by introducing the credentials of her
What are the strengths and weaknesses of a distributed Homeland Security Intelligence production? Homeland Security is everyone working together is a concerted national effort by federal, states and all local governments, private sectors and all citizens in order to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism, and minimizing the damaged and recovering from any type of attack that does occur (Connor 2006). What that means is that homeland security is not a federal effort but partnership. State, local, and tribal law enforcement play a significant role in homeland security, and their intelligence functions support their hometown and the nation. After the terrorist attack of 9/11 several criticized the intelligence community for failing to warn about the terrorist attacks.
http://atheism.about.com/od/ethicalsystems/a/Deontological.htm The ideas in certain situations like “let the ends justify the means,” is commonly accepted. Putting people in prisons because there have committed a crime may deprive them of their freedom but, apparently, deters others from committing more crimes. I agree with “obligation, and duties, but deontology is justifying the ends," and that an act is not wrong just because its end result could be considered bad. In the Western civilization deontology is proved valuable, because it is the fundamental ideas of individualism, deontological arguments still have no place in our criminal law system Utilitarianism represents the morally correct The 10 commandment states thou shall not kill. The Hippocratic Oath implores: "Above all, do no harm.
Personal usage of this type of networking is not forbidden but not encouraged either because of its potentially dangerous effects. On the other hand online groups for parole/probation officers may be a positive thing to start for an outlet for people who hold such an important
