Bruce Livesay Case Study

Coastal Property As Martin’s attorney, I believe he should consider his beach house lost to eminent domain with no legal recourse and he should accept the compensation of full market value, which the city authorities are legally obligated to provide (G.S. §40A-64, 2006). Unfortunately, Martin has almost no right to recover his property. The seizure of Martin’s property under North Carolina law and the caselaw precedent of Kelo v. New London (2005) firmly establishes the doctrine of eminent domain. Eminent domain is defined as “the constitutional right of the government to take privately owned real property for a [public use] purpose in exchange for just compensation to the [property] owner” (Kubasek, Brennan, & Browne, 2015, p. 359).

The implementation of BWC will require all NYPD officers to have BWC for every major operation. However, it is not simple to get officers to wear BWC at the first try. This is why there should be a pilot project that will test and identify issues and pin point the failures and issues. The issues in the piloting project must be closely examined and fixed to ensure that when fully implementing BWC it is done correctly and it decrease the chance of the issue from occurring again. This will bring out the realities and the procedures that are related to the actual

In the article, Unwinding Mass Incarceration by Stefan Lobuglio and Anne Piehl, they argue that unwinding the mass incarceration “well neither be cheap nor easy, and to be done responsibly will require a new infrastructure of coordinated community-based facilities and services that can meet evidence-based incarceration needs while also ensuring public safety.” Hence, their argument is clean-cut with evidence in the article to back up their argument of unwinding the mass incarceration. Similarly, a solid fill of a concluding statement upon the unwinding of the mass incarceration as stated in the article, “requires much more than stopping current practices or reversing course by mass commutations and early release programs.” Subsequently, from this article, there are numerous interesting key points, and perspective of unwinding the mass incarceration.

Number one was to define policing as a profession, meaning that the police will publicly serve and protect their communities. Number two was to cut or eliminate the potential influence with politics that it had on policing. Number three is a big one in my opinion, but inserting or hiring the properly qualified chief executives to lead each police departments going forward.

In this article, My turn: You don’t get to assault police officers, opinionated from Chief Steve Strachan of the Bremerton Police Department and Kitsap County Sheriff Gary Simpson, both provided insightful thoughts from an officer’s point-of-view. Chief Strachan and Sheriff Simpson addressed the truth be told from under the veil of negativity aimed at police officers. Hence, this article can be looked upon both negatively and positively, provided a Chief and Sheriff’s opinion of the current negativity portrayed upon officers. Subsequently, quoted from the article, “first, we all need to be more aware of the underlying ‘spin’ in messages and headlines about so-called ‘police violence’ and second, we absolutely have to focus on the fact that it is not acceptable, ever, to attack or assault police officers.”

Examples of motivational framing also primarily only exists on their websites and achieves its goal primarily through the usage of “us/we versus them (the government). From the 911Truth.org website it repeats “we must act, and we must act now” a few times and also states that it is up to the people to create change because the movement lacks governmental support and funds. Much of their motivational framing however lies in what one can do. Both 911Truth.org and the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth websites list things that you as an individual can do to help contribute to the movement. Minor involvement varies from wearing a button for the cause to signing petitions to donating money or your time as a volunteer and stretches all the way up to becoming a team leader and giving presentations in your general area on the movement and 9/11 truth.

Discussion 1: Legal Rights of Juveniles in Custody Introduction Dealing with juvenile offenders presents special problems not faced by the police when they deal with adult offenders. This fact sometimes conflicts with their primary policing mission, which is law enforcement. Beginning the early nineteenth century, juvenile delinquents in the United States were treated the same as adult criminal offenders. When found guilty of offenses they were given punitive sentences analogous to those imposed on adult offenders.

The way I look at it is that he did go above and beyond his duty as a police officer in saving this man’s life, because he is not a fire fighter. I believe that the main cause of Officer Jones’s actions was his dedication to keeping people safe. Jones stated in the papers "I don 't really see myself as a hero; I was just doing my job," (Testa, 2014). The typical duties of a police officer are often: (1) keeping the peace; (2) law enforcement; (3) protection of people; and property; and (4) to investigate crimes. Jones however went well above his duties not once but twice, second time being when a man nearly drowned to death in a

Doug Hunter, noting, “There is some flexibility provided within the policy where the sheriff can make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.” He said he is aware of only one such exception, that of a deputy in the jail who has a large tattoo on his arm, which is required to be covered. Why the debate “We realize the fact a person simply has a visible tattoo doesn't prohibit them from being an effective law enforcement officer,” said Hunter, noting, uniformity in appearance and dress, as evident by the clothes they wear, is not only historic, but important to solidifying public perception.

Machiavelli also defends wars in case of the statement “ends justify the means”. In the Chapter 14 he claims that “prince ought to have no other aim or thought, nor select anything else for his study, than war” (Machiavelli 67). This attitude helps the governor to keep officials and other people on tenterhooks so they will not be able to think about other things like the rebellion. Machiavelli understood such position will cause many human tolls both in the governor’s country and on the enemy’s side. But he justified wars, because they helped to achieve the goal to protect and improve the ruler’s position.

City council meetings are an important aspect of community and engagement. This representative form of government is responsible for coming to consensus on various agenda items as well as hearing questions, concerns, and demands from members of the community. City council meetings tend to have a list of consent agenda items, which are items that are voted on by the council in a single roll call vote. Members of the community or council have the ability to request an item on the agenda be removed for discussion. Typically items that tend to be more controversial are removed for discussion.

WOOSTER — Could a case in Lorain County, where a federal and an appeals court upheld a county board of elections’ decision to keep an independent candidate off the ballot because he voted in a partisan primary, have an impact on the state representative’s race in Wayne County? Republican Scott Wiggam and independent candidate Stephen Spoonamore are running for the District 1 seat being vacated by Ron Amstutz. Controversy has surrounded Spoonamore’s candidacy because right after filing to run for the seat as an independent, he requested a Democratic Party ballot and cast a vote on it. Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, broke a tie, ruling Spoonamore could not appear on a ballot. The Wayne County Board of Elections was split along party lines.

Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” examines human traditions and the way humans cling to them without necessary probable reasons. The villagers fear of letting go there traditions. Two elements that illustrate the theme of the fading tradition in “The Lottery” are the black box and Old Man Warner. The black box functions as a symbol for the decaying tradition of the lottery.

Running for Office by Lanson Carson shows how challenging it can be to run for office. He states points such as, you will not have privacy, and it cost lots of money and time and takes several people to run a small campaign. I agree with Lanson as if you are not prepared and up to the challenge of running for office and you are going to fail. I know this because in the passage it says, "it is by no means an easy task. You can't reasonably expect to simply "throw your hat in the ring" this shows how demanding it can be and not effortless.
