Deleted snitch tickets

I deleted the paragraph on "snitch tickets". Tricking people into providing information about a crime is normal and is not misconduct. [1][2] - RoyBoy 21:46, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Barring high IQs for cops

I first ran across Court OKs Barring High IQs for Cops the other day, where in 2000the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld the lower court ruling against Robert Jordan's discrimination lawsuit. I tried to find the case but couldn't find it. I'm not sure this can be worked into any articles but perhaps some other article might speak on it at some point and provide some context on how prevalent this might be.

Contradiction?

The current article contains excerpt following, which seems to claim both that ACLU challenges (to eavesdropping laws) have so far failed in federal court, and also that the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals (a federal court) rules in favor of the ACLU. I believe the text in bold should be removed from the current article, as it is factually incorrect per citation [20] on the current article. In a recent edit, I have removed this sentence and the associated reference.

In response U.S. law enforcement have begun using eavesdropping and wiretapping laws to charge citizens who record police without their knowledge. Some police organizations such as the Fraternal Order of Police support the prosecutions,[17] and are relieved ACLU attempts to challenge the Illinois eavesdropping act have so far failed in the federal courts.[18] In Illinois, recording police without consent is a class 1 felony that can carry a prison term of 15 years.[19] In a May 2012 ruling, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the statute "likely violates the First Amendment’s free- speech and free-press guarantees."[20]

Body Cameras

In 2015 alone there were 1145 deaths caused by police officers. 986 of those deaths were caused by firearms. And of those, 90 of the ones killed were unarmed. Controversial deaths of black and mentally ill civilians and sexual misconduct (1000 licenses revoked in just 6 years) of police officers is a main topic of discussion. Body Cameras can help solve a lot of these issues. Making it mandatory for police officers to wear body cameras, and have them ON and operating during their ENTIRE shifts will help promote the transparency of the police force as well as improving their somewhat tarnished reputation. Yes, there may be some concerns regarding privacy, but with proper policies and procedures being set up and followed, privacy can be kept. Police officers will also find a sense of security knowing that civilians cannot try to take advantage of them and that their proper actions are not being turned around and charged against them. In the end, people will be able to sleep better at night knowing that the police are out there to do what they took an oath to do, Serve and Protect, rather than abusing the power behind the badge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chill0529 (talk • contribs) 21:11, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

So on the 23/2/2017 I was riding my dirt bike on a field then i was approached by 2 officers. After checks were done on the bike they said it was ok for me to be there so I went back the following day then my bike was seized. I tried to explain my self yet the cop was having none of it.
