AS Law Induction
Police officer stops and searches 16 year old boy without reasonable grounds or consent. Is this lawful?
No, this is likely not lawful. Under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE):
- A police officer can only stop and search someone if they have reasonable grounds to suspect the person is in possession of stolen or prohibited items. Merely walking late at night does not provide reasonable grounds.
- A person has the right to refuse a search. The officer cannot forcefully search or detain the person without consent unless an arrest is made.
- An arrest also requires reasonable grounds of an offense. Walking late at night is not an offense. Pushing the boy into the car against his will would amount

Ny pol can't take assembley down with him
Vito Lopez was a powerful New York politician who resigned from the state assembly in disgrace after sexual harassment allegations from former staffers. Two staffers then filed a lawsuit against the New York State Assembly, arguing it was responsible as their employer and had enabled Lopez's harassment. However, a Manhattan judge dismissed the lawsuit, finding that the assembly was not the staffers' employer and there was no evidence that other assembly members had participated in or enabled the harassment. While the dismissal was without prejudice, it appears the proper parties for a lawsuit would be the state of New York and Lopez as an individual, not the entire assembly.

News story: Loretta Lynch
Loretta Lynch has been nominated by President Obama to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General. Lynch would need to be confirmed by the Senate, which is currently controlled by Republicans, some of whom have expressed frustration with the Justice Department over recent controversies. The nomination demonstrates the system of checks and balances between the executive and legislative branches of government.
1.1b the elements of crime
Here are three key points to consider in your essay:
1. The criminal justice system aims to balance protecting society, punishing offenders, and supporting victims. However, these aims can sometimes conflict with each other.
2. The rights of victims include seeking justice and compensation/support. However, punishing offenders too severely could infringe on their rights. Rehabilitation aims to reduce reoffending while also protecting society.
3. Society has a right to feel safe and secure. However, over-punishing may undermine this if it breeds further social problems rather than preventing crime. There are also costs to taxpayers to consider.
Some other factors to discuss could include the role of deterrence, proportionality of sentences,
Nelson sentencing
A woman was sentenced to 10 years in prison, the maximum sentence, for leaving the scene of a fatal car accident. Latoya Nelson pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death after she ran a red light and crashed into another car, fatally injuring the 85-year-old driver, Charlie Herrera. Both the victim's and defendant's families filled the courtroom for the emotional sentencing hearing, where the prosecutor asked for the maximum sentence as punishment and a deterrent for others considering fleeing an accident scene. Upon hearing the sentence, Nelson collapsed and was helped from the courtroom.

The amendments establish fundamental civil liberties and principles of American democratic government.
RAND PAUL - DO-NOTHING Senate Article
Senator Rand Paul criticized the Senate for being "do-nothing" as he has unsuccessfully tried to introduce a resolution challenging the constitutionality of the U.S. military operation in Libya. Paul argues that President Obama violated the War Powers Act by not getting congressional authorization within 60 days of the start of military action in Libya. Paul believes Obama should have addressed a joint session of Congress to request authorization and explain the reasons for going to war.

The document describes an experiment to measure the cooling of a beverage over an hour. Key points:
1. The temperature was measured every minute using a Raspberry Pi. It was expected to decrease exponentially over time.
2. The changes in temperature were greatest at the beginning and slowed over time, matching exponential decay.
3. A graph of the temperature data over time showed an initial spike then a gradual exponential decrease, leveling off near room temperature.
4. An equation fitting an exponential decay model was able to describe the temperature change based on initial temperature, room temperature, and a cooling rate constant.

The case for a multi party u.s. parliament
An American parliamentary system could help address issues like low voter turnout, expensive campaigns, and lack of political accountability. However, transitioning to such a system would be difficult due to the constitutionally defined separation of the head of state and head of government in the U.S. presidential system. While a parliamentary system could produce two executive offices rather than one, Americans value individualism which is reflected in their single-member electoral districts. Overall, a parliamentary system may better engage voters but significant reforms would be needed to adopt this approach.
Week 1 what is govt & biblical view of govt
The document discusses what government is and why it is necessary according to political philosophers like James Madison and John Adams. It then summarizes biblical passages that address government and its purpose from a Christian perspective. Key points are:
- Government is a system that controls and directs people through the use of force.
- Both Madison and Adams believed humans need government because people are inherently flawed.
- The Bible says government's purpose is to punish wrongdoing and reward righteousness. It also teaches Christians to submit and pray for their leaders.
Constitutions
The document discusses the key aspects and principles of constitutions and federalism. It provides examples of Nigeria and India to illustrate the positive and negative aspects of federalism. Nigeria's creation of more states has helped solve differences and bring stability by giving people from various ethnic groups their own states and a share of resources. However, in India some states have high performance while others have lagged considerably, showing the potential inequality created by federalism.
Gov't distribute power citizen participation parliamentary and presidential
This document provides information about different forms of government and how they distribute power. It discusses federal, unitary, and confederation systems. A federal system divides power between a central authority and regional authorities. In a unitary system, power is held by one central authority. A confederation involves independent states banding together but retaining considerable independence, with regional authorities holding most power. Examples of each type are provided.

The document discusses whether Britain is a democratic country. It provides arguments that Britain is relatively democratic, such as most people have the right to vote and there are free elections. However, it also notes some limitations of democracy in Britain, such as unelected members of the House of Lords and restrictions on civil liberties. The document also examines topics like the purpose of elections, the difference between government and state, and how a government gains legitimacy and a mandate in Britain.
Constitution8(2)
The document provides definitions for various terms related to the US Constitution and government. It defines the First Amendment as protecting freedom of press, speech and religion. It defines the Fourth Amendment as requiring a search warrant for police to enter a home.
