Police Powers in the Public Services P1 – describe the difference between arrest with and without a warrant M1 – explain the requirements of lawful arrest and detention D1 – evaluate the powers of arrest, detention and search There is a legal right that allows UK citizens to arrest another person. This law is given under Section 24 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE), 1984. In order to carry out a citizen’s arrest, there are certain rules that say when you can and cannot make an arrest. If you have suspicions that someone has committed a crime, these suspicions are not enough, no matter how strong they are. You could find yourself getting into trouble with the police if you carry out an arrest that is incorrect.
After the questioner the police officer will have to build a case with the evidences gathered and send a case with the evidences to CPS (Crown Prosecution Services). Then CPS could state whether it’s enough evidences gathered to take the person to court or it can state that there is not enough evidences. That where it comes to the bail. (www.findlaw.co.uk) The bail can be granted or denied it all depends what is the offence and whether the person can be dangerous if goes back to the society/community. If the person is arrested on suspicious of the murder that would be clearly obvious that the person wouldn’t get the bail, as that person could try to run away also could attempt more murders or even self-harmed.
There is Actus Reus and Mens Rea in this as he committed a guilty act but he also used his guilty mind to commit the crime. When Andy was shouting at Harry and his innocent boyfriend, he had the attention to shout at them to scare them therefore this is assault as he succeeded as they were in fear of. However, the Actus Reus started after the ill feeling was there. As soon as Andy started to shout at Harry, the Actus Reus was there but Mens Rea was also there as Harry and his boyfriend were in fear and they didn’t know what Andy was going to do next. On the other hand, to humiliate Harry even more, Andy threw a bottle and again there is Actus Reus and Mens Rea in this offence Andy has committed.
Tom Parsons appears in the cell. His daughter has told the police that her father is guilty of thoughtcrime. Chapters 11–12: O’Brien admits that he wrote a large part of Goldstein’s book and that the Party only wants power. O’Brien sends Winston to Room 101 where rats, the thing that Winston most fears, are waiting to eat him. Finally, he begs O’Brien to kill Julia rather than himself and so betrays her.
One criticism of intelligence agencies that people were shocked to hear through the 9/11 Commission Report was that the Central Intelligence Agency had information on some of the suspects involved in the 9/11 plot. This information was requested by FBI agents multiple times but was not handed over because it would have jeopardized the case CIA was building against other operatives. (Soufan, 2011). The PATRIOT Act also allowed warrants to be issued in any district, whether or not the activity being investigated was being conducted in that district or not (Landahl, 2007). It also created penalties for harboring terrorists, increased maximum sentences for terrorism related activities, and most importantly eliminated the statue of limitations for terrorist activities (Landahl, 2007).
● The exclusionary rule is the main remedy that will be focused on throughout the remainder of this book. It requires that evidence obtained in violation of certain constitutional amendments (notably the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth) be excluded from the criminal trial. Exceptions to the exclusionary rule have been recognized in cases in which (1) the police acted in good faith but nonetheless violated the Constitution and (2) the prosecutor sought to impeach a witness at trial by pointing to contradictions in his or her out-of-court statements, even if such statements were obtained in an
They were not inventing anything new but reclaiming something ancient. This is why governments tend to fall apart, because people often want to come together freely and be themselves, rather then fit a mold that is presented for them. Hobbes foretold that it was a human condition that war fought by each against each, making it hard for anything good to come out of it, or learn
It doesn’t matter if the people knew in the back of their minds that Oceania was just at war with Eastasia and not Eurasia. The government brainwashed them into thinking that whatever it told them was true, and that the past had never been changed (Beale). This can be compared with today’s society with the phrase that proclaims America to be the “Land of the Free.” This phrase contradicts itself because the United States has more people imprisoned than any other country in the world. Nevertheless, it is still used. Doublethink in the book is different from doublethink today because the government is not forcibly putting examples of it everywhere in an effort to brainwash the population.
According to Tocqueville, a lot can be done to the nation, if those individuals listen to their conscience and stop living in their own circle like a hermit. Society will not change unless those people make a move and change their way of thinking. Margaret Fuller said "when inward and outward freedom for woman as much as for man shall be acknowledged as a right, not yielded as a concession." This means that equality between men and women should be considered as something normal and moral. And here again, we see that if people listen to their conscience, and not to what society want them to believe is good, there will be some beneficial changes.
This staple of his beliefs is why he doesn't fear death, but in fact looks forward to it. By escaping he is committing an unjust act against the state, and committing unjust acts ruins the soul. With a ruined soul there is no point in living life as the soul is the only important thing, not the body. Therefore the most important thing is not only living life, but living a just life. While Socrates arguments may be sound in his opinion, I'm not sure if I agree with them.
