Closed circuit television

Closed circuit television was introduced in the post-war period. It has been used in the industrial and scientific fields, as well as audio-visual communications. Recently closed circuit television has become synonymous with security surveillance. The CCTV technology has improved and we now have clearer images, better infrastructure, digital storage and numerous software add-ons (Wood, 2009). According to McCarthy (n.d.), “Security cameras are now an ubiquitous feature of many institutions and places” (Closed Circuit Television, para. 7). These cameras found in public areas: such as streets, parks, malls, schools and workplaces. This has had an impact on the fight against ...

Question1

For this particular scenario, I would use several layers of security because this compound is comprised of various components or buildings each having different significance or importance. Using different security for each layer would ensure that even if intruders are able to breach through one layer, they will be incapable of breaching the other layers using the same techniques that they might have used for the previous one (Bernard, 2007). I would, therefore, invite the best security experts to ensure the particular component of security that has been used one layer is not used on the other. The corporate ...

Local public library:

Overview
The security of a library is mainly concentrated on protecting the texts contained within the library. These are going to be mainly paper based texts which are vulnerable to many dangers. The texts are vulnerable to damage from fire, water as well as physical damage from use. Apart from the texts, it is also important to protect the individuals who are going to use the library. Therefore, the security plan for the library is going to be concentrated on protecting the texts from various threats as well as safeguarding the users of the library (Kahn, 2008).

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 ...

Brief Summary

Question 1:
The exclusionary rule remains to be relevant in our present legal environment. According to Slogobin (2013, p. 345), the Supreme Court’s decision in the case of Mapp v.

in spite of its effect on the police and an efficient means to prevent police misconduct. As an effect, any evidence that is illegally obtained and violates the Fourth Amendment for unreasonable searches and seizure is inadmissible in ...

Parties: Charles Katz (Defendant-Applicant) v. United States (Plaintiff-Respondent)

Facts: Katz had long been suspected by police to be involved in the local illegal gambling scene. In an effort to obtain credible evidence of his illegal activities, the police placed Katz under surveillance (Katz v United States, 1967). That surveillance revealed that Katz liked to use a particular phone booth, which police suspected Katz used to place bets. Consequently, the police attached a “big” or listening device to the phone booth in order to record Katz’s conversation and hopefully obtain evidence against him. The bug was able to record Katz making bets and the police used those ...
