... Mollen Commission's main recommendation was for the creation of a permanent outside watchdog body with legal body to oversee NYPD's Internal Affairs Division and even launch independent investigations. However, mayor Giuliani and police commissioner Bratton are oppose to the plan, and refuse to give up authority to outsiders. Mollen stated that, " what we did find shocking was a total ineptitude of police fighting corruption, they are superb in fighting crime-except among themselves."

... 7. The United States Supreme Court has held that searches and seizures made without the benefit of a search warrant are unreasonable unless they come within a very limited and proscribed number of exceptions to the warrant requirement. Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 91 S.Ct. 2022, 29 L. Ed. 564 (1971). One such exception involves automobile searches for contraband goods by a law enforcement officer.

... and justice system is not as efficient as it should be. If a mistake is made in an execution sentence and an innocent person dies, no one can bring their life back. Now, if the death penalty did not exist, the person would still have their life. Juries also have to think about the families, both of the victim and the suspect. What if the suspect did not commit the murder and was executed? How would the suspect's family feel? A close relative had just died due to the fact that another mistake was made in our justice system. This in fact would send a rush of anger through my body. The justice system killed somebody' ...

... all convincing. Some people argue that capital punishment is morally wrong. They feel that killing some one for their crime is murder. In any dictionary it states that murder is the unlawful act of killing. Since capitol punishment is within the law it is not murder.

It is because we value human life so much that we put ...

... but other people will want to use it for everyday problems. First, a doctor must prescribe the marijuana in order for a patient to take it. It would be almost impossible for a person to obtain the drug without a prescription. It is up to the doctor whether or not the patient needs it.

As with any other drug, the possibility of addiction is a concern, but when a doctor prescribes the marijuana, he will have the chance to control and monitor the intake of the patient. There are many other drugs that are legal with the s ...

... endeavor to obtain what is not theirs. Their beguiling apparitions are nothing but clever masks, which proclaim hope, and freedom. Only those who can strike through those masks, can see vividly, the intentions of these invaders. These are they which are labeled, "Illegal Aliens". I know you're not laughing, because it's not funny. For example: 7-11? Once an American dream, before the Illegal Aliens came into the picture! Conceive that you walk wearily into a 7-11, yearning for a large Pepsi, filled with ice, and brimming with tiny bubbles popping at the surface. . . But no!! the cashier can only ...

... was a culture of drink among some sectors of the population that, with continuing immigration from Europe, was spreading.� (Cohms 1) Prohibition was seen as the work of the devil through alcohol, so it was up to the women to save us. “The extraordinary “Women’s War� broke out across the nation in 1873. Thousands of women marched from church meetings to saloons, where with prayer and song they demanded—with transitory results—that saloonkeepers give up their businesses. By 1900, millions of men and women were beginning to share this hostility toward the saloon and to regard it as the most dangerous so ...

... Catholics living in Ireland at the time and in a sense created even larger barriers between the Catholics and the Protestant's. The Penal Laws however, were destined to fail from the very beginning, even with the complete support of both the English and the Irish parliaments. The Penal Laws were developed slowly over a span of one hundred and three years as several desperate attempts to abolish the Catholics from Ireland. The first penal law was implemented into the Irish community on December 24, 1691 when William and Mary made an Anti Catholic declaration for the oath of supremacy. The oath banned all Catho ...

... crime. More than 2,000 people a year use a handgun to defend themselves and more and more women are buying guns for protection. In the eyes of many the United States is a gun culture. Guns are not very difficult to buy in the United States. The right to own a gun is set out in the American Constitution which reads, "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." In 1997, 63% of gun related arrested in the United States were under the age of 25. Another disturbing trend is that those using guns are getting younger. Boys are learning to live by the gun, and sort out their arguments with guns ...
