Introduction

A seldom noted observation device geared to monitor the movements of every passing motorist is rapidly spreading on America’s thoroughfares. “Automatic license plate readers” that are placed on police cruisers or on stationary locations such as bridges-utilize small high speed cameras to take pictures of thousands of license plates every minute. The data taken by the readers-inclusive of the plate of the vehicle, the date, time and area of the scanning-is then gathered and at times lumped together into regional data pools. As a result of these activities, innocent motorists have their private information taken and pooled into ...

Statement of the problem issue

The need to create and manage a multi jurisdictional tactical emergency response team is dependent on certain situations. The assistance and expertise of SWAT requires unusual circumstances that can be considered beyond the abilities of normal law enforcement agencies. Such circumstances include counter terrorism operations, rescues of hostages, and high risk search warrants. Similarly, the SWAT unit offers special assistance to the situations where there members of a gang are known to be present and there are weapons used by the gang members. Such situations are highly risky for only one law enforcement agency to be involved and require the need ...

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Few things can be as frightening to a civil and innocent society as a corrupt police task force. There are many examples from around the world, and throughout history, of police forces and military forces behaving with an “us against them” mentality. While sometimes it is the law enforcement against the criminals, this way of thinking often gets misconstrued; the officers begin to think it is “us,” the officers, against “them,” everybody else. Much like in the case study concerning Officer Barton, he found that officers were secretive, and had an official subculture that had its own taboos. It also had ...

Interagency Collaboration

Interagency Collaboration
As the adage goes ‘Unity is Strength,’ so is the situation on the ground as far as crime detection and prevention are concerned. The notion of collaboration and cooperation by all the stakeholders in maintaining sanity, law and order in the affected areas has been very effective and efficient. These two concepts of collaboration and cooperation are well informed by the need to involve the very persons affected by the problem of insecurity and the menace of drug peddling and trafficking. These concepts, therefore, involve a scenario whereby several agencies come and work together towards accomplishing the ...

In the hypothetical, an officer who refused to back up his partner’s story in criminal and civil court regarding the excessive use of force on a suspect has been branded a “rat” by his fellow officers. The officer in question has faced a variety of repercussions as a result of his actions, ranging in severity from social ostracization to serious work safety repercussions, such as other officers refusing to ride along with the officer in question.
In this particular case, the officer in question ...

What does the court mean when it says "Stare decisis is not an inexorable command; rather it is a principle of policy and not a mechanical formula of adherence to the latest decision"?

Responding to Rape Cases in England and Wales

Background to the problem
Sexual offenses cases such as rape are often the cause for debate in many countries especially when it comes to the capacity of the government to prosecute criminals and aid victims involved. For England and Wales, several laws and programs have been proposed to stop the growth of rape crimes and improve response from the government, from the Sexual Offenders Act of 2003 to the reorganization of government agencies such as the Sexual Assault Referral Centres. However, it is still a question on whether or not these actions are enough to improve how the authorities ...

The Exclusionary Rule is one of the more important rules that is utilized in the American judicial system. The entire American judicial system is designed to protect the individual's rights from the government, and to limit the amount of power that the federal and state governments have over the citizenry. In criminal trials, the individual is considered innocent by the government until proven guilty; this is to protect the individual citizen against unfair or untrue allegations, and to ensure that all citizens receive a fair trial when they are accused of criminal activity.

The exclusionary rule holds that, when the police violate a suspect’s constitutional rights, that suspect has the option of requesting a court to “exclude” or declare inadmissible any evidence that was obtained as a result of the constitutional violation. The exclusionary rule is not a constitutional right but rather a judicial tool established by the Supreme Court in 1914, as a means of deterring police officers and law enforcement officials from violating the Constitution when arresting suspects and conducting criminal investigation (Weeks v. United States, 1914). Up until 1961, the exclusionary rule was only available to defendants in ...

This article accesses the use and application of the Garrity rule in internal investigations of police officers. Apparently, the Garrity rule has not been applied consistently throughout police departments in the country. Some departments have applied the rule as stated by the Supreme Court, others have expanded the rule, while still others have limited the rule.

regulations, hierarchy, management according to written documentation (e.g. policies, procedures, and guides), office management, workers devoting all of their time to official activities, and the following of rules (Cengage Learning 54-55). Weber’s model does list the main constructs of the bureaucratic model. From personal experience, Weber’s model excludes the compartmentalization of departments or job functions. In the bureaucratic structure, workers within department A tend to become isolated from department B. Even though these departments may be interdependent, the implementation of interdependence and functional interdepartmental relations within the bureaucratic structure is poor.

Immigration Enforcement

Arguably, enforcement of immigration regulations and laws has and remains to be an overwhelming task in the context of the United States.

The use of force is Prerogative of law enforcement officials. Sometimes using force becomes necessary but it should not be exercised unnecessarily or exceed the limit.

Deploying Wi-Fi Hook-Ups in Disaster Relief - what are the Considerations?

Wi-Fi networks constructed for disaster relief and administered either in affiliation with a private firm or by a city have surfaced in the last few years, in spite of strong resistance and persistent lobbying by cable operators and phone companies, which dispute that municipalities would rival unjustly against their personal broadband services.

This meant implied that cellular networks and conventional wireline phone service became dysfunctional. Therefore, the notion of WiFi network for the city surfaced, and 3 months after the disaster, there was the deployment of a free city owned wireless internet ...
