Although police officers stand for peace, there are many countries where people view police not as the hero but as the villain. Even in safe, developed countries like Canada and the United States, acts of police misconduct have occurred. For these reasons, police officers should not be allowed to carry firearms. Eliminating guns won’t eliminate police misconduct; however it will take some power away from them but that can be good because they will also be gaining power this way. It sounds confusing but when people see a man with a gun, no matter what side of the law he is on, they will get intimidated and possibly fear him.
The purpose also is if law enforcement was to take the evidence it would not be used in the court of law unless issue or that person can be set free of all charges. Basically one wrong moved can make us lose a suspect of a horrible crime if we are not careful. Law enforcement just need to be cautious so they are doing their jobs correct, and setting a person free will get them into trouble (cjlf.org, 2011). When we are identifying the exclusionary rule it is a great rule to have so police have to stop and think. Police have to think before they search because it could cost them a lot if they just do what they want.
A rule that does so little to protect the law as it was made. The exclusionary rule allows criminals to go because evidence was illegally obtained, but what about the victims of the crimes. It is almost a turntable and they have become a victim for a second time. I am going to discuss the three main reasons why we as citizens should get rid of the rule. One is the releasing the guilty back into society, next is the slowing down of the criminal process and the last thing is the behavior and consequence of the police officers involved in the cases.
One of the most common arguments deals with respecting the Constitution. Racial profiling should be eliminated in routine traffic stops because it leads to a violation of civil rights, poor relationships between police officers and citizens, and decreased urban safety. Racial profiling violates citizens’ rights in a few different ways. The fourth amendment reads, “The right of people to be secure in their persons, houses, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”, as recited by West Des Moines’ police captain, Scott Wiegert. A traffic stop on the basis of race violates the fourth amendment because the officer can make the victim feel violated instead of secure.
Fudge and his group, in my opinion, did not make the best decision as a group to retaliate against the skinheads for pulling a gun at Malik. I felt a lot of anger in that scene but I do not have a solution. I am a peaceful person but when you cannot talk to this group and there is not positive police presence on your behalf, I am at a loss for words. With all of that against you, I would opt to just talk to my own group to find positive ways to cope with the
This policy was the exact opposite of his license obligations that stated he was to report any crimes and felonies he saw. The policy forced David to into a moral dilemma where he had to choose whether to abide by Blue Mountain’s rules or to obey the police unit’s rules. As an employee David had a moral obligation to his company as well as to the other stakeholders. David`s had a responsibility to be loyal to his company as well as to keep the other stakeholders safe. In this situation the policy was unethical because it risked the safety of all other stakeholders and enabled criminal
I personally am a strong believer that an “ideal society” should have no guns; nevertheless crime is a big problem to the citizens of our society and guns are necessary. Therefore, it is not recommended that we ban guns completely. The most pragmatic thing to do is to reduce the availability of guns and make it difficult to procure them by making sure that they are given only to people who are mentally capable of handling them. There is a definite need to ban guns since their liberal usage leads to large-scale public massacres, which are suited for the field of war, not civilized society. Weapons like automatic rifles and assault weapons are tools created with the purpose of mass killings.
Running head: Unit 2 Assignment Unit 2 Assignment Tammy McFarland Kaplan University January 20, 2014 LS 308-01: Law and Society Some people say there are way too many laws in the world today but without laws to follow and to obey by, this world would be crazy. In the U.S. law, the word law refers to any rule that if broken subjects a party to criminal punishment or civil liability. The laws in the United States is mosaic of statues, treaties, case law, Administrative Agency regulations, executive orders, and local laws. I obey the laws because I know if I break a law either one of two things could happen to me. The first thing could be getting tickets which would hurt me in the pocket book which I couldn’t afford and second result could be jail/prison.
Gun control ENG/102 8/11/10 Brian Kevin Gun control 1 Introduction: Gun control advocates have cried foul, because of the Supreme Court 2010 ruling they believe will damage the chances gun control laws to reduce crime. While many people consider gun control to be too restrictive, advocates are of the mind that we should remove all the guns, at all cost. The Supreme Court ruling has mandated that state and city governments have no choice but to respect the Second Amendment of their citizens. While the ruling does not completely abolish current gun restrictions, it does weaken the ability of the local government to
Therefore, guns cannot be singled out and blamed for all of gun control. Instead of taking guns away from law-abiding citizens, we should take them away from the criminals; and deal with the root of it all that causes crime and violence, such as poverty, discrimination, unemployment, etc. Guns are not the real cause of the problem, the people are. So now we need to find a solution to the problem and let’s figure out what we could do to control gun violence. One solution about the problem may be to speak up about the problem.
