Ethical Dilemma 1: Gun Rally
After reception of a tip concerning a potential illegal gathering scheduled, it must be decided what is the appropriate course of action, having in mind your own maintenance in the assignment of the gathering, and your responsibilities and commitments to defend the regulation.
The appropriate course of action in this situation is to assign a subordinate officer to identify the frontrunner or the organizer of the gathering, and notify them wholly of the license requirements, local laws, and laws of the municipality, which relate to municipal crowds.
`` A meeting of three or more individuals to commit a crime or carry out a lawful or unlawful purpose in a manner likely to imperil the peace and tranquility of the neighborhood. ``-
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution promises to the persons the right of liberty of gathering. However, the assembly of three or more individuals may establish an illegal meeting if the people have an unlawful determination or if their assembly will break the communal amity of the municipal. If they perform their determination, they have dedicated the illegal transgression of demonstration.
The foundation of the transgression of illegal meeting is the intent with which the persons gather. The supporters of the gathered group must have in awareness a secure determination to do an unlawful action. Thus, respecting the law, our mission would be to warn the law enforcement and there so maybe stop some attack to the innocent people.
Ethical Dilemma 2: Chief’s Orders
A choice was made to counsel further forces about the anonymous tip. The chief officer on duty counsels you to take confident engagements, which you believe, are wrong and prejudiced; challenged with the predicament of submitting what seems to be an illegal instruction.
This scenario entails you to equilibrium amid succeeding the order of a higher officer, and acting your own responsibilities in harmony with the promise you took upon being on oath as a law enforcement officer. The correct path is to do both; follow the instructions to the point that the gathering is not allowable, and accomplish your responsibility as a police officer. Before any officer takes the Law Enforcement Oath of Honor, it is vital that he/she comprehends what it means. An oath is a sincere pledge somebody makes when he/she honestly plans to do what he/she says.
It is risky not to listen to the order, but on the other hand, if we know orders are not right, we are in hard position. Employees cannot always know the ultimate goal of their superior wants to achieve, so maybe their response may jeopardize the plan. However, oath we gave requires from us to know what is right and what is wrong. We should definitely warn someone superior and let him choose is it right or wrong. If we don`t, we will maybe do something we could regret about, and only because someone told us to. Possible solution is to do what our boss wants us to do, and then to warn someone superior about your action.
Ethical Dilemma 3: Accepting Favors
You determine that an officer from a nearby police department agency you are given to work with receives donations on a daily basis; the colonel defends his activities, naming an “arrangement” with fellows of the community. You are faced with the dilemma of disregarding what seems to be a putative rehearsal against what is morally correct.
This situation involves you to take certain kind of action; you are else guilt-ridden of inoperativeness when action is mandatory.
`` A police officer acts as an official representative of government who is required and trusted to work within the law. The officer's powers and duties are conferred by statute. The fundamental duties of a police officer include serving the community, safeguarding lives and property, protecting the innocent, keeping the peace and ensuring the rights of all to liberty, equality and justice A police officer will use responsibly the discretion vested in his position and exercise it within the law. The principle of reasonableness will guide the officer's determinations, and the officer will consider all surrounding circumstances in determining whether any legal action shall be taken.``
Thus, a law enforcement officer should accomplish all duties fairly, deprived of indulgence of affection or unkind, not regarding to position, gender, race, religious conviction, political belief or desire. All citizens should be preserved similarly with politeness, attention and dignity. Law enforcement officer is responsible for his or her personal standard of professional routine and must take every rational chance to increase and advance their knowledge and competence. There so, this situation should be a test to us, making us `` good colleagues``, or someone who knows what oath means.
Ethical Dilemma 4: Reporting a Deal
A discussion is heard amid the leading prosecuting attorney and the trial Judge that proposes the option of unsuitable action on the part of the Judge and prosecuting attorney; you are challenged with the problem of ignoring the discussion in the benefits of an anticipated outcome, versus taking action to guarantee that the legal system’s honesty is not conceded. This situation obliges you to take the matter to the attention of the district attorney. As the primary prosecuting attorney, the district attorney should be alerted of any condition in which any accusation of jurisdictional misbehavior, or in this case, rudeness, is convoluted. If not, you are committee in a crime against legal system, having anything to do with it or not.
Contempt cannot be ignored, that originate in a country that is based on human freedoms and legal documents. We do not want to live in a country where impunity goes disrespect the institution of the court and the constitution, in which myth and agreement resolves something that should be resolved by the law.
It is unacceptable that the judiciary achieved any contracts that are not of public concern and respect for the Constitution. The Constitution is the supreme law, and judges are well paid for the oath they took. This exposes the oath to the Constitution will be respected. Therefore, it is unacceptable to be in any way different and supreme judge must be informed of the case. If the deal is of public interest, chief judge will certainly know about it.
Ethical Dilemma 5: Breaking Prison Rules
A prisoner at a correctional facility needs that you give a letter to an individual connected with his group, which is an abuse of the procedures of the facility. A moral dilemma is a condition whereby self-moral duties and public principled rules fight in such a way that any thinkable resolution to the problem is not bearable honorably.
``The nature and extent of the privileges afforded to individuals kept in custody or confinement against their will because they have been convicted of performing an unlawful act. ``
A prisoner is anyone who is deprived of private freedom in contradiction of his or her will succeeding verdict of a criminality. While they do not have all the rights of a free citizen, the U.S. Constitution and the moral standards of the community guarantee a prisoner with certain rights.
Unlawful help to prisoners by any person is a criminal punishable. In this situation, the prisoner asks us to connect with his group, which is presumed to be made a criminal offense with the prisoner. Therefore, such an act of assistance is unacceptable and unethical for any usual person, especially a member of the police force. This is a situation where you have to set up as a man and consider whether it is human to help, or a much more humane to consider and reject. Maybe prisoners really do not have bad intentions, but if the law is predicted that it is something you should be punished for, we should imagine that maybe in the letter; it says something that this group may lead to a serious crime, perhaps even murder.
