In line with this, the investigative department requests warrants to search for evidence, but they must be approved by the judicial branch. (Lynch, 1998) Most defenses that invoke the exclusionary rule are based on the lack of or improper application of search warrants. Those that support the continued use of the exclusionary rule argue that there must be this line between the police officers that are often emotionally involved in a case, and an impartial third party that can objectively review the evidence. Without this safeguard, citizens would have little protection from overzealous police officers who could search their homes and persons with almost anything serving as probable cause in their opinion. The fact that officers know that illegally obtained (but true) evidence will quite possibly be thrown out, and therefore dangerous criminals will be freed, will encourage them to follow the proper procedures.
In 1990, Cartier was arrested on multiple charges such as destruction of property and animal cruelty. Between December 1990, and March 1991, Cartier continuously physically abuses, torments and harassed his girlfriend at the time. He was then arrested and served six months. In 1992, Cartier beats Kristin for the first time. Kristen breaks up with Cartier after another brutal beating and obtains an emergency protective order.
Handling evidence properly is one of the most crucial points of any investigation. Without even intentionally doing so, mishandling of evidence could mean a case thrown out of court. Some types of mishandling of evidence would be planting of evidence, removing evidence, not following the chain of custody and unlawfully obtaining evidence. Rape cases should involve specially trained individuals, if an untrained investigator was to handle a rape case the way a homicide case was handled even more issues can arise. Reducing Ethical Considerations From arrival at a crime scene the investigator must follow only the facts and remove any emotion from considerations.
In 2009 Nathan Bock assaulted his girlfriend. Bock was intoxicated and got into a fight with his girlfriend which then led to him slapping her across the face. Bock was fined $5000 (the maximum allowed) by the AFL and was suspended for one game. The same thing happened to three women in Sydney’s southwest in February this year. A 15 year old boy assaulted the women in three different times and places.
Forensic & Criminal Psychology. Module 9-Risk Assessment & Reoffending-SAP 9. Mental Illness & Crime. Offenders are assessed of their Physical/Mental health care needs on entering the criminal justice system this induction procedure is a statutory requirement by law, problems associated with it are-lack of facilities/resources, offenders arriving @ late hours/shift changes, time pressures, antagonism from offender towards prison staff & vice versa, so as a result this process may not be carried out in depth as intended rather it is token! Because of this incoming prisoners with mental illness are not always identified, are sent to standard wings where their need for required treatment may go unrecognised.
Why Police Officers Shouldn’t be Allowed to Carry Firearms By Sai Avuthu Police officers are law enforcers who are employed by the government. Their whole purpose is to ensure a crime free society and bring justice to criminals who disobey the law. Essentially, they represent peace. However, carrying firearms, weapons of killing and destruction, is the exact opposite of peace. Although police officers stand for peace, there are many countries where people view police not as the hero but as the villain.
Mapp vs. Ohio In May, 1957 Dollree Mapp’s home was invaded by Cleveland police. The officers were searching for a suspect that bombed the house of Don King that day. The law enforcers never obtained a proper warrant to enter Mapp’s household. In their improper search the officers never found the bombing suspect but did find gun, gambling paraphernalia, and obscene literature. Dollree was arrested for the possession of lewd and lascivious books under the Ohio Revised Code 2905.34-.35 (The Cleveland Memory Project).
The excessive use of force by police officers continues because of overwhelming barrier to accountability. (Mclaughin). Police can only use the amount of force that is necessary to carry out their lawful duties. Any legal claim for “excessive force” must be based on injury resulting from force beyond whatever was necessary.(Sieminiski). According to the Justice Departments of Albuquerque, “The police departments failure to ensure that officers respect the Constitution undermines public trust.” (Mclaughin).
We must insist on humane and more cost-effective methods of punishment and prison management. Prisoners and detainees in many local, state and federal facilities, including those run by private contractors, confront conditions that are abusive, degrading and dangerous. Soaring prison populations due to harsh sentencing laws—which legislators have been reluctant to change—and immigrant detention policies coupled with tight budgets have left governments unwilling to make the investments in staff and resources necessary to ensure safe and humane
In Arizona they tried immigration enforcement. Other individual acts of discrimination could be when the criminal has already been detained and is already in handcuffs as well. There is always one officer that ruins the reputation of a department or agency. The best way to handle this is confront the situation to the leader of the investigation or talk to the current supervisor. Putting a stop to this behavior will not just help the department but correct any kind of other bad behavior
