The Path REVISED EDITION CHAPTER ONE “Allow me to introduce myself; I’m a man of wealth and taste.” Amused by the implications of the chorus the students frantically waved their hands, while the 1965 Buick speeds along the Golden State Freeway. A blond-haired blue-eyed well-dressed young man is leading the sing along as he secretly heads to an unknown location. In unison, the students sing out with laughter as the vehicle moves rapidly along the freeway. The front seat is crammed full by means of four extroverted seniors, who are well on the way to intoxication, the vehicle, reminiscent of a well-packed can of sardines is a sure traffic violation and no doubt a serious accident waiting to happen. Jacques is constantly looking at the rear view mirror checking to see if the Highway Patrol may be behind him, paying little or no attention to the speed limit so vividly posted along the sides of the freeway. This is the last Friday night of the summer and these eight students are not concerned about the risk of an accident. They are setting their sights on having one hell of a time. …show more content…
Paying little or no attention to the speed limit so vividly posted along the sides of the freeway. This is the last Friday night of the summer and these eight students are not concerned about the risk of an accident. They are setting their sights on having one hell of a time. With everything going smoothly the blonde haired blue eyed handsome leader reaches up to adjust the silver and chrome mirror that so vividly reveals the four images crammed together tightly in the back
Some people argue that police officers in our communities abuse their authority and power over citizens. Nowadays police officers seem to be more aggressive and end up being looked at as criminals. Some cops are even using their power to do bad things, and this has had a major effect on society that is making everyone afraid of cops. But, some people, too, argue the point if a cop did misuse his power was it justified. People in our communities are even beginning to feel as if cops aren't here to protect us anymore. Our laws have allowed criminals that good police officers arrest to slip through the system untouched, and this makes officers feel as if they have to bring matters of justice into their own hands. Police brutality has turned into somewhat of a myth because of our court system not punishing them as according.
The injury lawyers from Weaver truck accident law firm ensure that your interests are protected when involved in a truck accident caused by a speeding driver. Many truck drivers often ignore the displayed speed limit signs hence creating danger to others and even themselves. Such truck drivers view the posted speed limits as suggestions and not compulsory to follow. Speeding truck accidents have led to the suffering of innocent victims from serious injuries and sometimes even death.
Starting In 1829, Sir Robert Peel began developing his theory of policing. These nine principles are as relevant today as they were in the 1800's. Peel established the Metropolitan Police when he served as Home Secretary of England. Since Sir Robert Peel introduced his principles of policing in the early 1800's, our country has continued to follow his ideas of effective policing. Community policing is based on Peel's concept of prevention.

Policing and the way they operate are truly similar as if they are hand in hand with one another. In order for operations to run smoothly and the department to be functioning as one there has to be proper training and care from the supervisors, administrators and from everyone who works together to understand that they’re a team. Everyone in the police department has to work together instead of against one another just to make sure everyone is doing their jobs by the books with no room for errors.
In relation to functions of patrol, crime investigation, emergency, and critical incident response and future trends of the CAPS program. One key point of functions of patrolling could be the proactive vigilance of the community (individual neighborhoods) in taking preventive measures in developing an increase of their crime rates. Crime investigations are still the sole responsibility of the Chicago police department; however, it is always easier to investigate crimes when he or she does have the support of the community backing him or her up. This has proven to be very effective means of adding in investigations, instead of the community not wanting to get involve, like it was in the past. With relation to emergency and critical incident response, there have been positive comments that have been said about the CAPS program involvement in reporting certain situations. It is hard to predict the future brings for the Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS) Program. Observing past trends from when the program was first started, one could see how crime has gone down, the community has gotten more involve in the
A survey was conducted which consist of ten questions. Each question of this survey deals with policing in America, weather it is the area in which you encountered officers to how your encounter was with them. 54 individuals of different races and ages took this survey.

In this survey, the participants must answer all the questions to the best of their ability. The participants included college student and non- college that ranged from the ages 17 and above. The participants were family, friends, and college students. This population of individuals was targeted so that the surveys’ outcome would have opinions from all

Junior and his family has no money for gas to go to school and home everyday. “Hitchhiking in the opposite direction. Somebody was usually heading back home to the Rez, so I'd usually catch a ride.” This was a problem for Junior because he would be late to school and sometimes miss school. He solved this problem sometimes by hitching a ride from strangers or friends, or ride with his dad friend Eugene, or get a ride from the BIA.
Three teenagers were involved in a fatal crash on Highway 140 early Friday morning, after allegedly being served alcohol at a club near Keno.
Another concern is the behavior of adolescent binge drinkers. In other research it is shown that binge drinkers were more likely to engage in risky driving, such as speeding, running yellow lights, racing other cars, and passing in no passing lanes (Marcotte, T. D., Bekman, N. M., Meyer, R. A., & Brown, S. A. (2012). They also participate more in distractive activities that take their focus away from the road such as changing the station or music on the car stereo system and texting or dialing on their cell phones. In order to reduce the fatalities associated with adolescents and driving under the influence, Graduate Driver Licensing has been implemented in several U.S. States. With the use of Graduated Driver Licensing this would help lower the percentage of fatal crashes by way of new drivers being required to

Police officers are responsible for protecting people and property. Related job titles include Sheriffs and sheriffs deputy, detectives, and state police officers. However all of these job titles have similar duties for example they are all responsible for the protection of people and property. These job titles might be very similar but they do differ in many ways. Police officers patrol the city issuing citations keeping the peace and conduct traffic stops. Sheriff 's and deputies hold practically the same duties as police officers but do so for the entire county. A state police officer could also be addressed as a state trooper. These officers usually patrol highways and issue citations and are frequently called for comprehensive law enforcement services. Detective is the title that differs from the others the most. Detectives aren 't in uniform. They investigate crime scenes and find evidence for criminal cases. Detectives conduct interviews, observe activities of suspects, and also participate in raids. Although a normal police officer does not earn as much income as related titles it is still a very demanding and dangerous job.
Driving fast in a car may be unsafe but the thrill and excitement of high rates of speed gave me a rush I had never felt before. Seeing, feeling and hearing everything go by faster made the whole driving experience so much better. My mouth watered with envy as I approached the drivers' seat every time I went out for a drive. The automobile, as a whole, became a high interest of mine; the styling, the sound and the speed of it. I loved driving and I loved cars and all of this new found love was from the birth of my drivers' license. Such a simple piece of paper opened up such a broad area of learning for me; it was of much amazement to me.
