Use of Deadly force by the SAP

One role that the police have to carry out is making and processing arrests. For example, in an event like a robbery, they would have to do this to make sure that they capture the criminals or suspects etc. in order to keep the community and the public safe.

The death penalty already exists in thirty six states, and given its existence it should

Individual states do not need to follow all interpretations of the U.S. Supreme Court in the area of criminal procedure. The states must only abide by what the Supreme Court sets as minimum thresholds for constitutional guarantees. The states are not precluded from developing workable rules governing arrest, searches and seizures to meet “the practical demands of effective criminal investigation and law enforcement.”

Sub-sec. (2) of S. 438 enables the High Court or Court of Session, while granting anticipatory bail to impose conditions as enumerated in the section.

In the Court’s highly fragmented decision, the justices attempted to define a proper balance of and boundary between federal and state authority: by arguing that state action constituted only those acts sanctioned by the state’s laws and by dismissing Section 20 for vagueness, the major block of dissenters suggested that the risk posed to state autonomy by federal intervention was too great; by recognizing the defendants’ actions as those perpetrated “under color of law” and by creating a “willful” test for acts under Section 20, the majority Opinion affirmed the federal government’s interest in protecting the rights of citizens from abuse by state authority, but provided it with a tenuous means for defending those liberties.

During the 1960’s of American history violent acts were aimed at African Americans in the name of racism and segregation. In a case such as this one, many would seek refuge from the government, but to little surprise, cries for refuge went unanswered. Making matters worse was the fact that the Government allowed segregation to continue due to legal documents in many southern states. Acceptable forms of oppression were separated into four categories: racial segregation; voter suppression, in southern states; denial of economic opportunity; private acts of violence aimed at African Americans. At this time, many civil rights laws were

This criminal code is one of the most sophisticated in the country and has become a model for other states to follow. But research studies conducted to compare effects of the death penalty nationwide have shown some conflicting results. Comparison studies done to show homicide rates of retentionist and abolitionist jurisdictions from 1999 to 2001 (Sorenson & Pilgrim) have shown that death penalty states tend to have a higher murder rate than abolitionist states. This result creates the argument of the overall deterrent effect of execution. Texas is still in the top 20 of states with the highest homicide rate even though it is the highest in death penalty executions. “If the death penalty were a deterrent, the argument goes, then Texas should be located among those states with the lowest homicide rates” (Sorenson & Pilgrim, P. 25).

The decision of the High Court in regards to the intoxication of the plaintiff and resulting level of liability is echoed in sections 49 and 50

State v. Gaines, 346 Or. 160, at 171-72 (Or. 2009). In Gaines, the court held that amendments to O.R.S. § 174.020 provided a methodology in interpreting statutes for the court. Id at 171. Gaines held that when a court is to determine a statute’s meaning the court will first look to the statutes text and context to interpret its meaning. Id. Additionally, Gaines held that the legislative history of a statute can be utilized when proffered by one of the parties. Id at 171-72. The Gaines court held that it is up to the determination of the court as to how much weight would be given to the legislative history in its analysis. Id at 172. Finally, if the statute is still ambiguous after analyzing the text, context, and legislative history, then the court may utilize “general maxims of statutory construction to aid in resolving the remaining uncertainty.” Id at 165.

The Commissioner of Police is the director of SAPOL, who reports to Australia’s Minister for Police. Concurrently, the Australian Police would be in a better position to undertake their duties to the country, if they appreciate and acknowledge their historical foundation, and the foundation of the entire policing body in the country (Murray 2007). Therefore, the agency’s appreciation of the historical fact that it is the oldest within Australasia, and that it initially employed former convicts or soldiers who volunteered to join, would evoke a sensation of willingness to perform in the current policing body of South Australia (South Australian Police Historical Society 2011). The current body would regain the past spirit of working as volunteers, and working for among the best-organised policing agencies in the world, which would steer them towards effective facilitation of law and order in the region (Coumarelos, et al. 2012). Additionally, an appreciation that the current policing agencies, including the South Australian Police, draws from the United Kingdom’s model, would promote willingness to establish cooperation with UK and other agencies in the country, in order to ensure law and order in in Australia (DeKeseredy & Dragiewicz 2011). Furthermore, an

In my lifetime alone, same sex marriage has been legalized, the use of marijuana has been legalized and technology has advanced so substantially that we are always connected, allowing news and ideas to spread quickly throughout the nation. In the last 10 years more than ever, I feel that the Constitution and its ideas have been questioned. It seems we’ve realized that a list of rules written over 200 years ago are becoming arbitrary. More specifically, the 8th amendment to the constitution; the prohibition for the government to perform acts of cruel and unusual punishment. I’ve chosen to do research on Proposition 62: the initiative to repeal the death penalty in order to educate myself on a subject I’ve always found archaic. My research has included finding out the costs of executions in the state of California, understanding the process of death penalty appeals and reading articles on both sides of the argument. Proposition 62 proposes eliminating the death penalty due to its massive expenses and large margin of error but opponents argue this would eliminate a valuable public deterrence.

Police officers are given a significant amount of discretion simply due to the nature of the job. Officers are faced with many threatening situations forcing them to react quickly, yet appropriately. They have the power to infringe upon any citizen’s rights to freedom and therefore they must use this power effectively. One major concern with the amount of discretion officers have is their power to decide when to use force or when to use lethal force. Manning (1997) argues that it is generally accepted that police should be allowed to use force. He also explains that there are an uncertain amount people who agree on as to what constitutes excessive force. The line
