Legal Issues and Accountability
If the doctrines of Mistake of Fact and Mistake of Law exist in Fun Land as they do in the United States, I actually believe that my defense would turn out successfully. The fact of the matter is that I was a stranger in a foreign land and there was no way that I could know that consuming a Pepsi was illegal -- without actually consuming one and getting arrested for it. If the facts were changed to prove that I thought the Pepsi were a Coke, a better defense would be that I was deceived and truly not aware of transgressing the law -- which is related to the aforementioned doctrines (Vukovic, 2014).

Thus, it is necessary for the accused to have the right to an expedient and fair trial, as well as to legal counsel. I would not make any changes...
The arguments that I would make to do so is that stiff punishments would help deter people from committing this particular crime. The counter-arguments I would anticipate are that people shot the Bugs Bunny by accident. Therefore, the magnitude of the sentences disseminate for this offense should stop people from shooting had they any doubts. Personally, I would not want to amend the bill. The one word I would change to make the bill less draconian is to insert the word 'knowingly' before possesses. Doing so could make the bill more egalitarian.
UNIT 7 DISCUSSION
It greatly appears as though Tom is the one who caused the boulder to fall, and should be criminally liable for the death of Jerry. He set up a deadly situation, and despite the fact that he later one renounced his plan, he did not fully disarm this weapon which was still fatal. However, were I using the notion of causation to defend Tom, I would state that he did not cause Jerry's death because he did not directly cause the boulder to fall. In fact,…
Law Enforcement Interview Imagine studying the opinion of another law enforcement officer. What could one learn from that individual? Does he or she have any recommendations that are worth mentioning? How is discipline issues handled? One will discuss the various questions asked to Daniel Heinze with much analysis.

Law Enforcement Khalid (2012) describes one incident in the ongoing conflict between American law enforcement and minority communities. Recently, the FBI hired an informant to pose as a Muslim in order to spy on the Iowan Muslim community in search of terrorist ties. The imposter went to mosque and forged ties with local Muslims. When the espionage was exposed, the Muslim community public expressed utter betrayal, according to Khalid (2012). In
For example, the hierarchical system of management may not be the most effective method and more collaborative practices might prove more effective in eliminating corruption. The "haphazard," "limited" and "marginally effective" training in ethics must also be improved and targeted toward the current generation of officers (6). The review panel also notes a startling lack of ethics education during police officer training programs (7). The lack of coherence between the
11. The issued rose in this case is unauthorized use of a company vehicle, which resulted in an accident. Prater was told to bring the truck home over the weekend to work on the body only. His boss never gave him permission to use the truck for any other purpose. Besides, the insurance on the truck would probably only pay for the accident if it occurred on company time. Prater
The case involving Milosevic was has different sub-plots, as he would claim that the actions he took were to prevent the country from being overrun by terrorists. Yet, at the same time, as some of these atrocities were being committed, NATO would attack Serbia in an effort to halt these violations. In this aspect, one could argue that the actions taken by NATO were in violation of international law. As

In changing the agenda and focus of nations and also other actors in handling conflicts and the transitions that results from the conflicts, international law might have lifted expectations to be so high that. The law has succeeded in situations where moral idealism, economics and politics have failed to provide solutions to the
