Attention” to every word the officer speaks. It is very important the citizen listens! If the officer orders the citizen to put their hands in the air that is exactly what the citizen should do. Keep your pride to the side so to speak, make sure you don’t involve your pride or negative energy into the encounter. You don’t want to be speaking while the officer is giving instructions. You may not hear what the officer is saying. Speaking while the officer is speaking may also cause a citizen to have a slower response to the commands the officer is giving. The officer may see this as being uncooperative which means the citizen is not going along with the officer’s requests or orders. Take the officer’s comments very serious. The response from …show more content…

Immediately the citizen will be chased and most likely arrested for this act. This is a form of resisting an officer during an investigation. Not to mention once you run you have brought on several more concerns to the mind of the officer. By running the citizens place themselves in a very negative situation. Many times during these circumstances the K-9 unit can be deployed and the citizen may be bitten. Other thoughts by the officer may be something similar to; “drug dealers run from law enforcement officers all the time, and as they run, they are looking for a place to “throw down” or get rid of the drugs they were selling. The situation is the same with any subject who runs from law enforcement who may be carrying concealed weapons like handguns. If a citizen takes off running, how is the officer to know this citizen is not attempting to conceal a handgun? Obviously a weapon may be used to injure or kill the officer. So whatever the reason, even if you are afraid, DO NOT RUN FROM THE …show more content…

Acknowledge the officer is doing their job, and again do not take this encounter personal. Is it an inconvenience? Yes of course it is, but the encounter will not last forever. Help the encounter to end sooner by being pleasant or cordial. If the citizen decides to take the contact personal, their attitude will not be cordial or pleasant. Everyone does not like the police, so the citizen does not have to respect the officers, but if they are cordial to them, the contact will be less turbulent. Again, attitude is one of the first indicators police officers use to gauge what their own demeanor is to be while dealing with certain citizens during encounters. A positive attitude from a citizen will usually lead to a positive attitude from the officer, and a negative attitude from a citizen will make an officer a bit more protective and observant towards the citizen. I am not saying be a kiss-ass, but keep it professional; cordial and pleasant, and the citizens concerns will be

I always had a mentality that when we were stop by cops we had to know whatever they told us. Not knowing that we as the people have rights also and a cop can’t just came and stop us just because we looked suspicious.

Since I would be the senior officer training a rookie officer, I would inform the officer even a minor traffic stop challenges the ideology of the Sovereign citizen and can easily escalate to a violent encounter. While violent encounters with individuals of this philosophy are rare, they can be sudden and deadly.

I would inform the officer to maintain focus on situational safety, be aware that the stop may be recorded and/or videotaped by the Sovereign citizen, apply enforcement as appropriate, we will try to make every effort to identify the subject and conduct searches and seizures that fall within legal authority. As a matter of practice every law enforcement officer at every traffic stop will request three items of each operator, license, registration and proof of insurance.

John Hughes’s film The Breakfast Club (1985) resonates with certain modern-day stereotypes of high school students. The film also reflects on how much damage that social status and labels have on people, especially during adolescence. Hughes’s film breaks down the emotional barriers between ordinary high school students of different backgrounds through typecasting. As the actors take on the general roles of students that can be found in most high schools, the narrative of the story begins to drastically change as the characters are revealing their backgrounds with each other. As a result of using this technique, the film reveals the external and internal struggles that most adolescent children deal with in their lives.

One common opinion is that officers should not use more force than is necessary or reasonable, and even then, that force should be used only as a last resort. “Police use force to affect civilians’ conduct. On a day-to-day basis, they do so most often by employing the least degree of force available to them, their mere presence. Cops wear uniforms and drive distinctly marked cars so that, without saying a word, they may have an effect on citizens’ behavior” (Fyfe, 38). When an officer’s presence fails to fulfill the desired conduct, the next course of action for said officer would be verbalization.

Getting mugged is no fun you want to experience. I’ve had my share of close calls. I even had the wonderful adventure of being mugged at gunpoint once, here in NYC. The guy got my wallet with over $200 in it, my phone, and my prescription of drugs (don’t be snoopy, you don’t need to know what drugs). I know what it’s like to be at the bottom of the barrel, pulled free from your high of adventure.

Police brutality will be an issue until a solution is created. Many individuals are victims of this form of assault on daily basis. The liberties held by law enforcement are challenged each time they perform their duties. Police officers should abide by the same laws that each citizen is expected to abide by.

The police department in America is one unit that procedural justice needs to apply. Many cases land in court after passing through the police, unless justice prevails at the police level, a good number of the cases end up to have baseless arguments in court.
