Essay Instructions: You are to search the Internet for a recent news article regarding an issue or challenge in relation to policing. Not only does this topic address this week?s subject matter, but it leads us into next week as well. Examples of issues or challenges in policing would be police suicide, recruitment issues, corruption, police misconduct, police brutality, police department budgetary issues, police union grievances, officer drug and alcohol use and abuse, and so on.

Evaluate the article and describe in one full page (double-spaced, 250 words minimum) the issue or challenge. Also, in your opinion, add what you think is the solution to the particular issue or challenge that you have described and read about.

Essay Instructions: The Exclusionary Rule is controversial in the U.S. because it has led to the dismissal of cases based on what some people refer to as ?technicalities.? This rule requires a trial judge to exclude from the trial any evidence that was obtained improperly, such as if the police searched the suspect?s home without consent or a warrant.

Discuss the Exclusionary Rule, its purpose, and its relation to the Fourth Amendment. In your opinion, which is more important ? convicting the guilty or punishing the police for breaking the rules? If the exclusionary rule did not exist, do you think the police would routinely break the rules in order to obtain evidence? Can you think of some other way to deter police misconduct without having to exclude the evidence from the trial?

Consider an example where the police found a murder weapon by conducting a search without a proper warrant. Without this piece of evidence (a knife with the victim?s blood on it, found in the defendant?s tool shed) the killer will likely be set free. How do you expect the judge to rule on the question of admitting the knife as evidence? Do you agree with how the judge will rule? Why or why not?
