In Fasano’s case, Officer Byrd and Officer Troy both work at the local police department and were investigating the hackings on campus. On the day in question, the officers arrested Fasano while wearing civilian attire. The officers still identified themselves as officers working on the case, displayed their police identification, and explained the search warrant they had for the residence. As a result of following up with a credible tip into the investigation and having a warrant for the premises already, the probable cause needed from Henes is established. Therefore, the officers were working in their official capacity when Fasano stalled them during their investigation.…
The Second Circuit Court handles many major cases. One of these major cases was Runner vs. the New York Stock Exchange. In this case, Victor J. Runner, the plaintiff, was suing the New York Stock Exchange for injuries he had sustained while doing work for them. The defendant issued “an appeal from a judgement imposing liability upon them pursuant to Section 240(1) of New York's Labor Law” (Lipmann, 2009). The defendant acknowledged what had happened to injure the plaintiff. While on the job, “the plaintiff and several co-workers had been directed to move a large reel of wire, weighing some 800 pounds, down a set of about four stairs. The workers were instructed to tie one end of a ten-foot length of rope to the reel and then to wrap the rope around a metal bar placed horizontally across a door jamb on…

Frank Serpico was the first and probably most famous New York police officer to report and go as far as to testify on the department wide corruption. He never gave up, never gave in, and always stayed true and loyal to the oath he took when graduating from the police academy in…
On April 19, 1989 a white female jogger was attacked and raped in Center Park, NY. The jogger was twenty-eight-year-old investment banker, Trisha Meili. The attack on the female jogger left her in a coma for 12 days.

Ronald Cotton spent over ten years in prison before DNA evidence pardoned him of any and all wrong doing. Ronald was thirty-two upon his release. Were these wrongful conviction of these individuals…
If Phillip Heller signed a partnership agreement listing terms he did not uphold and stating that the committee had authority to expel Heller, then I think the courts would agree with the committee. Phillip Heller signed an agreement that he needs to uphold. Heller’s work performance was unsatisfactory and he conducted 1,000 fewer hours than he estimated. Submitting a derogatory and lewd article is not performing satisfactory work. It could actually hurt the representation of the company. Heller signed the agreement in 1992. He should have negotiated terms around his hours and the committee’s authority to expel if he did not agree with the terms. I feel the committee had every right to expel Philip Heller.…

The petitioner filed for habeas corpus relief in the federal courts. The question was whether Sheppard was deprived of a fair trail and his right to due process according to the Sixth Amendment. Was the petitioner denied a fair trail for the second-degree murder of his wife, of which he was convicted, because of the trail judge’s failure to protect Sheppard sufficiently from the massive, pervasive, and prejudicial publicity that attended his prosecution?…
Becoming a police can be a good thing if you don’t abuse your power and stand by what is right instead of wrong.

There is a movie named “Serpico” it is a true story about an honest New York cop Frank Serpico (Al Pacino) who didn’t believe in rampant corruption in the force and tried to rectify the corruption only to have his comrades’ turn against him.…

In the 1973 American crime film, Serpico, this societal dictation is depicted through the precincts involvement with the “italian mafia” or with Serpico’s isolation from his neighborhood for speaking against it. Throughout the movie the idea is portrayed that if you were not a corrupt police officer you could not be trusted, personifying the negative connotation of the police force, and law enforcement in itself. Al Pacino’s character Francis Serpico initially finds himself attending the Police Academy as a form of dignified respect, a title that society understands and idealizes. As the son of an immigrant family Serpico finds himself needing that idolization, needing to remove himself from the neighborhood where he watched his friends get stuck. Anxious to get out of the “old neighborhood” Serpico finds himself moving into the trendy Lower East Side of New York City and engulfing himself in its trending culture. As a uniformed patrolman, Serpico succeeded at every assignment, but it is not until he starts to patrol the streets on “plain clothes” assignments that the audience sees the complete change within Serpico. It is in this instance that Serpico starts to slowly discover a hidden world of illicit activities among his idolized colleagues. This struggle starts to take a toll on Serpico. The acknowledgement that this force he held to such high…
A few weeks after the King incident, a drug scandal in New York erupted into another police brutality incident. This prompted an investigation on police corruption by the Mollen Commission. The investigation found many occurrences of police abuses, including brutality, corruption, and perjury. A century before the Mollen Commission, in 1894 the Lexow Commission in New York discovered the same occurrences of police brutality. This shows that police corruption has been going on for many years and is continuing to happen now. Although the public less accepts police brutality now, it is believed that most police corruption is done “underground” or through legal loopholes.…
When Frank first started his career with the police force in New York his technology was as advance as a radio. It was not a high tech radio either like the ones today. His radio could only reach a small section of the city. If cops were in trouble and needed back up they would have to call on the radio and then they cops they reached would have to call some else and the cycle would continue until the correct people were reached. Now policemen have radios that reach the entire city, laptops, printers, cellular phones, finger print scanners, and GPS all in their squad cars. Cops now have more of an advantage then cops in 1965. Although policeman had a hard time with technology back in 1965, they had fewer criterions to meet to be a policeman and less…
