I believe that officer Smith did have every reason to pull over the car in question because there was not only the appearance of a broken tail light that had been taped up but also the car resembled a vehicle that had been used in the commission of another crime, that being the road side killing of another officer. Officer Smith’s observation that the vehicle may be the one in question from the killing of the other officer, she has every right to ask the occupant of the car to get out for a pat down for not only her safety but the safety of any others. Even though the woman didn’t have any weapons on her the officer didn’t know and that’s why she requested the pat down. Had the woman been carrying any weapons when the officer approached the car the officers life would have been in immediate danger so the officer error on the side of caution and did the right thing with the pat down.…

Yes, a victim can sue his/or her offender, after the rape has occurred the victim can proceed civilly, even if there were no criminal charges filed. Brody, et al., (2008) it is helpful if criminal charges were filed because convictions for criminal cases make it much easier to predetermine liability in civil cases. In other words, if there is a guilty verdict, then there is no need to litigate liability for a civil case because the civil burden of proof is lower than the criminal burden. Brody, et al., (2008)…

Law Unit 23

Before any law and acts are made, there is a long procedure in the process of it being passed. If there are new laws it usually is chosen by majority decision usually in courts or the parliament. For example, the executive or the government form laws in the House of Commons by setting out bills. Sometimes it may come from their election mandate in order to be chosen, for example recently how labour vowed to ban fox hunting which can be shown as an example. Moreover, they then set out a bill to become an act which gets passed to the house and then to the House of Lords as a checking procedure before it is made. However, if the House of Lords don’t pass it as a law then the executive can go and make it an act. This specific method shows that it can be done by the government and has a process for it before anything can be done; usually these acts and laws come out during elections in order to win voters and sometimes are done and even not processed.…

Afte Court Case

On a gloomy Saturday morning, a badly bruised and distraught Sally Richards stumbled into the doors of UC’s medical hospital, seeking assistance for the terrible incident that she experienced the night before. Standing in front of the triage desk, Sally explained to the hospital secretary how she was sexually assaulted and possibly raped by her ex-boyfriend the night before. Quickly, the hospital secretary called an expedient nurse from the back room and in a flash, Sally was suddenly brought to a private room. With Sally being instructed into the room, she noticed an individual standing across the medical room, who she later learned would be her advocate throughout her examination and during her court case. Throughout the duration of her stay, though distraught, Sally cooperated with the SANE nurses, especially with the physical evidence collection.…

Courtroom Work Groups

I found several responses to the question of who is included in the courtroom work group. I believe that the criminal prosecutor, defense attorney, and a judicial officer make up the most common courtroom work group. The daily interaction of this group is to make sure that rules are being followed in each individual group but also to make sure it is given in a timely manner. The courtroom work group needs to communicate in order to offer plea bargains and choose jurors.…

We are taught that the courts and the Supreme Courts, in particular, are charged with interpreting the Constitution and the laws of the Unites States. We are further taught that the law enforcement should accept such interpertations uncritically and without hesitation. Theory and reality differ for at least four reasons, the Supreme Court sometimes makes decisions on excruciantingly detailed matters that have almost no appliciablility to most law enforcement officers most of the time.

Criminal Defense

Self-defense is the justification of the threat or use of force when an individual feels that they are in immediate or imminent danger to their life or bodily harm. The cases I researched were UNITED STATES V. PETERSON, 483 F.2D 1222 (D.C. CIR. 1973), OPINION BY: ROBINSON, J. and PEOPLE V. CEBALLOS, 526 P.2D 241 (CAL. 1974), OPINION BY: BURKE, J. In both cases the defenses entered a contest of self-defense. In the case of UNITED STATES V. PETERSON, the defendant claimed self- defense based on the fact that deceased, Charles Kiett put Peterson’s life in danger once Kiett advanced toward Peterson with a lug wrench raised in his hand. In the case of the PEOPLE V. CEBALLOS, the defendant after noticing pry marks on his garage door set up a trap utilizing a .22 caliber pistol. In both cases the defenses were found to not be justifiable. In the case of UNITED STATES V. PETERSON, PETERSON was not acquitted of the charges and found guilty of manslaughter. Regarding the case of the PEOPLE V. CEBALLOS, CEBALLOS was found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon.…
