1.When testifying if in court there are many factors that cause people to do as good as they would like. This is due to the levels or stress, nervousness and anxiety rise. Another aspect many people have a difficulty while testifying is to remain calm and respectful to other parties. Its normal for a lawyer to raise your stress levels and put one in an uncomfortable position. This cause many people to become disrespectful.
2.Public speaking is not an easy task for many people. No matter how many times one rehearses their speech for public speaking, on many occasions people fail. One of the difficult aspects when it comes down to public speaking is the lack of confidence. The lack of confidence can lead many people to get nervous and make many mistakes when public speaking. Another mistake that people often make when it comes to public speaking is not dressed appropriate. Dressing appropriate not only makes individuals look professional, but it also displays respect for the individual and the department/company your representing

During a trial it is very important for both parties to always be truthful, especially law enforcement officers. Law enforcement officers are Peace Officers who are held to a higher standard and are trusted to always tell the truth. If a Peace officer lies and not only can it slant their testimony, but it can destroy their credibility and an officer’s reputation. Officers testifying in court are required to take an Oath. The Oath is to sworn the officer to tell the truth. Violation of this oath can lead criminal charges to the officer and damage their

If the accused refuses to answer questions or waives their right to counsel, the police can only interrogate the accused with the accused's legal counsel present as a result of Minnick v. Mississippi (Hall, 2015).Several variables are to be considered when law enforcement is conducting a custodial interrogation such as the age of the suspect, the intelligence level of the suspect, how familiar are they with the criminal justice system, and the mental and physical capacity of the suspect in terms of the crime they are suspected of committing as well as their voluntariness to waive their rights (Bethel, 2015). These variables are crucial for the prosecution as it details the suspect's characteristics and sometimes their motives for the crime they committed, and sometimes give further details than the officer anticipated, but the burden of proof lies on the prosecution's shoulders to prove the suspect waived their rights (Bethel, 2015). There are some instances where the suspect will "lawyer up" and the evidence is overwhelming, and the prosecution can elaborate the suspect refused to cooperate and refuse to reduce certain charges or offer a lesser charge for the suspect. The same applies to a suspect giving details of other details that are a violation of Miranda and cannot be used against the suspect but can be used in conjunction with other cases that are being investigated

PAPER 1: FALSE CONFESSION ASSIGNMENT Legal issues involved in the interrogation of criminal suspects are the leading cause for wrongful conviction of innocent individuals based off of false confessions. The primary motive for police officials is to close a case with a written and verbal confession from a possible suspect. Confessions override evidence if the confession is convincing enough to the jurors. Most people assume that people would not confess to a crime they didn’t commit, but due to the harsh interrogation circumstances, psychological coercion and situation factors, these can influence an innocent individual to confess to a crime they didn’t commit.

I have given this investigation careful consideration due to Officer Noname’s length of service within the Spring Falls Police Department. Through the facts given and statements made by Officer Noname, I am requesting immediate termination of employment. By lying to investigating officials in his involvement with the misuse of department resources, Officer Noname has become untrustworthy and his credibility as an officer of the law has been brought into question. It is from this incident that if Officer Noname were to give testimony in a hearing, his credibility would be called upon due to his dishonesty during this investigation. In Brady v. Marland (1963) and Giglio v. United States (1972), the Supreme Court has imposed rulings that all exculpatory evidence must be disclosed and that the defendant has a right to learn of any incriminating and/or discrediting information pertaining to the witnesses against them and may result in impeachment of witness testimony.

This book begins immediately with some shocking statistics that will allow the police officers in the ethics course to see just how prevalent the code of silence can be. Quinn reports, “only 39 percent of police officers believe fellow officers will report serious criminal violations involving the abuse of authority,” and “52,4 percent of police officers agreed, “It is not unusual for a police officer to turn a blind eye to improper conduct by other officers” (4). The book goes on to discuss why officers partake in the code of silence. A scenario given by the author describes an officer who reports to a domestic violence call and ends up being beaten by the offender. The offender would have killed the officer if it were not for the back up that arrived.

The existence of ghosts or spirits has been a speculation by human beings for many centuries. There has not been a lot of proof within the field of science to show that ghosts and spirits are real. With that being said, many people still believe that once we pass away our spirits will linger on. After reading The Haunting of Hill House, The Turn of the Screw and The Shining, I have come to the conclusion that ghosts are a manifestation of madness, and not spectral forms of once living people. To begin in The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, the Governess first sees a ghost who is known as Peter Quint.

The “Peace Officer’s Bill of Rights” provide law enforcement officers many of the same rights and privileges of that of the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights. The officers require more protection to prevent coercion from internal investigations that they could easily face during their career. The peace officers bill of rights stemmed from officers wanting a little greater safeguard that protects them from “perceived arbitrary infringement of their rights (Peak, Gaines, & Glenson, 2009, p. 246). According to our text, these statutes identify they type of material that must be afforded to the officer, as to their responsibility to cooperate during the investigation, the right to representation, and the rules and procedures concerning the gathering evidence, especially the interrogation of the officer” (Peak et al., 2009, p. 246).

All too often media airs news reports with details only revealed that support their own political agenda. Even with that said, if the very officer that is supposed to uphold the laws in society is engaging in misconduct or illegal activity, the public will diminish an officer’s credibility and legitimacy.

Truthfulness gets continuation and lying activates the conscience. An officer of the law is supposed to have strong ethical indicative of moral beliefs. These beliefs are absolutely essential for any law enforcement officer. Aristotle suggests, "life circumstances trigger a natural range of responses that includes a mean between excessive and defective responses” (Dempsey & Forst, 2016, p.227). A person’s character traits are the individual’s habitual ways of responding, and individuals who are the most admirable are those who find the norm between the two extremes regularly.

As a police officer with over 19 years experience I have seen this time and again. With that being said, I would rather an individual say nothing as opposed to lying. Under the current justice system the state must prove its case and all the defense has to do is raise the possibility of reasonable doubt in the case presented by the

Being confident shows your audience you are comfortable talking about your topic and that you are well informed on what you are specking of. Another thing that I can improve on is relaxing, for example, to not be so nervous. If I can think two steps ahead before I speak it would prepare me for what I am about to say which will allow my words to flow out smoothly and correctly. I plan on improving these skills by practicing more speeches in front of people and doing some relaxation exercises before my speech. I believe by implementing more speeches and doing some of the exercises, it will have me more relaxed, keep my mind focused and boost up my confidence so that I may present my speech flawlessly for an A plus grade.

While it can be interpreted as standing for ones beliefs, a police officer must uphold a high moral code in accordance to the society which is being served. The ethics to which police officers holds themselves, must include the character traits demonstrated in personal life, in addition to operating as public servants. If an officer is deemed untrustworthy at home, they cannot be trusted to work legally within the police department. Honesty within policing is just as important, where failing to admit a mistake can weaken a reputation and call previous cases into question. Although these traits can be trained into an individual, integrity must be developed personally before it can be applied

As students, presentations are something that is required in most classes yet, students do not see themselves as public speakers. Throughout high school and now in college, I have had to present material in 80 percent of the classes that I have taken. Presenting was, and still is something that I struggle with no matter how big or how small the group is that I am presenting to. I knew that Public Speaking was a required class for me so, rather than putting it off, I decided to go ahead and get it out of the was as soon as possible. Speaking in front of people is out of my comfort zone.
