Historically there has been conflict between the american police force and members of minority groups. In recent years this conflict has moved into the eye of the public, through the media attention given to events like Ferguson. Outrage and unrest ensued and the backlash from these events were felt all over the US if not internationally. The result of these events lead to politicians and the police pledging reforms to improve the relations between law enforcement and members of minority groups. However many still believe that nothing has changed and that law enforcement is still more likely to use excessive force when dealing with members of those minority groups. Research has started to be conducted on this issue and many try to find solutions. This paper will provide a literary review of the current literature regarding this topic and will further provide some ways in which the relationship between law enforcement and the public can be improved.

Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious criminal offense in Georgia. While most offenses are considered a misdemeanor, drivers can still face serious consequences. This is why it is always a good idea to contact a DUI lawyer immediately after being arrested.

Nevada and California’s criminal justice systems take DUI charges seriously, and so do the defense lawyers at Laub and Laub Attorneys at Law. They want you to stay sober and safe on the road, and be aware of what happens if you are convicted of DUI in either state.

A DUI is a serious offense, and it can be life changing if you're convicted. If found guilty, you could pay fines, serve time, lose your license and limit your employment opportunities. Of course, not everyone charged with a DUI is guilty, but the arrest can have a negative impact even if you're found innocent. Here are three important steps to getting your like back on track after a DUI arrest.

In the case 543 U.S. 405 (2005) ILLINOIS V. CABALLES No. 03-923. A routine traffic stop by a State Trooper , stopped Roy Caballes, while this stop occurred the Trooper Daniel Gillette walked is narcotic dog around the respondents vehicle. The dog detected an odor of marijuana which was located in the trunk and the respondent was arrested. Caballes's Fourth Amendment Rights were not violated, which most would probably argue that State Trooper Gillette violated Caballes. In fact the Fourth Amendment allows a dog to “sniff” around the outside of a vehicle without a warrant and considers this not invading any personal space or a citizens privacy. The only time this would be a violation would be if an officer of the law held the stop longer than it needed to be, or stalled the stop improperly just to make an excuse for the dog to “sniff”, for example in the case of 575 (2015) RODRIGUEZ V. UNITED STATES No. 13-9972.

Furthermore, they understand the factors that may compromise field sobriety tests and breath tests. Thus, it may be helpful for drivers who have been arrested for DUI to obtain legal representation.

The motorist in the video Top 3 Sobriety Tests No. 2 aroused the officer's suspicion when her car was veering between lanes the highway. When stopped, the motorist seemed uncertain of what she was doing and where she was. "I don't know," she replied when asked how much she had to drink. She was barely able to put the car in park and seemed more concerned about tying her shoelaces than the test or her serious situation. Questions which often arise when determining if someone is driving under the influence are: "Does the person answer the officer's question or exhibit a stream of consciousness talking that bears no relation to the question? Does the person appear to be disheveled or unable to stay alert?" (Gaensslen, R.E., & Larsen 2010: 122). The woman in the video exhibited all of these 'red flag' signs. However, the officer's use of the field sobriety tests indicates that even when intoxication may seem 'obvious' it is still necessary to establish DUI with objective sources of information. The ability of the driver to perform the tests assigned

Drunk driving is an issue that effects many people across our nation. People do not realize the affects alcohol can have on the body and mind that slow decision making while driving.

Per protocol patients with high Alcohol level should be monitored every 20 minutes using Breathalyzer. This particular nurse on multiple occasion would just document as patient not available or patient refused and would only do couple of assessments. This was noted by her co-workers but was not reported to the management, as

Drunk driving is considered a serious crime in every state. It is wrong, irresponsible and wastes many lives. People who abuse alcohol hurt everyone around them, endanger public safety, and create carnage on the nation's highways. There is nothing positive that can come out of drunk driving, so why do people do it? It is society's job to punish these menaces and try to take control of this out of control issue. America doesn't want to watch idly as hundreds of people are killed each day. We want to take a stand and let the world know that we may be the 'land of the free and the brave' but there is nothing brave or free about driving drunk. What should be done about this problem is debatable and certainly open to discussion, but the first

Driving under the influence of alcohol has been a major issue in America, spanning all the way back to more than 50 years ago (Raymond).

When alcohol is mixed with driving a motor vehicle, there are no limits to who may be at risk. This means that drunk driving has been harming, hurting and killing many innocent people in America.
