Police officers proceed to go against people in the house and film the whole scene as these respective people have their rights violated. The fact that they too are Latino apparently played an important role in influencing the authorities to believe that they were somehow connected to the suspects (Doyle 52) In some cases, TV shows go much too far both by influencing police officers to behave in a particular way and by filming the degree to which these people are affected by their jobs
13). While it is easy to dismiss those who are against racial profiling, it is very difficult to justify racial or religious profiling as not being a violation of the basic premise that all people are equal and that racial and social stigmas are a negative facet of society and law enforcement work (Baker, 2006, pp
It is often those police officers who feel personally responsible for hunting down and carrying out profiling missions and attitudes who end up making mistakes when it comes to cultural sensitivity and understanding as well as abuse of power. When an officer understands that every person within a population should be treated with the same respect, he or she is far less likely to hold negative racial or religious stereotypes against a particular group of people or person (Banks, 2009)
Individual decisions based upon conscience is another gray area in law enforcement. A person's conscience is subjective by nature, and therefore vulnerable to outside influences (Caldero and Crank, 2004)
The truth is far less appealing than most people hope for. In fact, social stigmas abound in police work, and when terrorism is involved, and people's reactionary and often extremely judgmental thoughts and feelings are catalyzed, the role of the police officer as officer of the peace, and a person who keeps the peace is often put to the test (Clarke and Newman, 2007, pp
However, society holds police officers accountable for their actions above others, and the ethical dilemma associated with this topic often exists in gray areas. That is to say, it's not always black and white where the line between authority and abuse exists (Westmarland, 2005, pp
Nevertheless, it is essential to note that modes of communications are not of great importance. An important aspect of communication implies to the ability of a sender to pass meaningful information to the receiver (Stohr & Collins, 2013)
Therefore, one can say that communication is the process of exchanging ideas, information via a channel from the sender to the recipient. In an organization setting, one can tie communication to the premise that ensures passage of expectations (Eaton, 2009)

The awareness to legal and ethical considerations regarding the social media is also observed through statistical analysis of the results. The conclusion and recommendation will also base the survey results to analyzemost important aspects of the training required by law enforcement agencies (Fresenko, 2010)
The unregulated nature of social media has instigated various issues in society particularly for the law enforcement agencies. The users of social media do not recognize the social impact of their behavior used on social mediaand as a result the law enforcement agencies face furious challenges (Prot, & Anderson, 2013)
In Boston, "the department's tweet clarifying that there was no arrest shortly after the bombings saw more than 11,000 retweets. A polite scolding to those tweeting information from police scanners was retweeted more than 20,000 times, higher than any other tweet at that time and indication that the public accepts the fact that they too need to show some restraint" (Bar-Tur 2013)
At first, in the Internet age, police departments were reluctant to change. "Especially when it comes to computers and technology, because most officers want to be out chasing the bad guys and don't want to be behind the computer looking at things," but now most law enforcement agencies have come to embrace the new technology and learned to use it to their advantage (Conan 2013)
This new entity has a unique nature that makes it powerful and unpredictable. Several characteristics combine to make it especially threatening to law enforcement" (Waters 2012)
However, once Clinton was in office, he shifted focus from crime, and began addressing other civic concerns (Marion & Oliver, 2012). The first 100 days of Clinton's presidency were largely quiet; congress neither drafted, nor was it pressured into formulating any anti-crime policies during this period (Carter, 2006)
1). A 28% reduction in crime was reported in California between 1995 and 2006 (Fields, 2006)
It is the basis through which new resources are injected into crime-control efforts at the local level to enable police work hand in hand with their local communities (DOJ, 1999). In the state of California, "crime rates remain at historically low levels," and although this trend cannot be fully attributed to the Violent Crime Control Law, the possibility of its contribution cannot be ruled out (Lofstrom & Raphael, 2013, p
This text dwells particularly on the policy of grassroots/community policing, and the "100, 000 Cops" initiative, to which the bill allotted a substantial $8.8 billion in funds (Marion & Oliver, 2012, the Legal Dictionary, 2014)
The costs, needless to say, have turned out to be quite considerable. And what does law enforcement have to show for over a decade of pursuing this new top priority? Aaronson's 2011 examination of terrorism-related arrests in the first decade after September 11 demonstrates that most of what has occurred is entrapment orchestrated by law enforcement itself -- statistically he offers that 48% of arraigned "terrorists" were "targeted by an informant," 31% were "nabbed via a sting" and 10% were "lured in by an informant who led the plot" (Aaronson 2011, 38)
In point of fact, the American and Mexican governmental attempts to contain Los Zetas have been miserable failures, but the most significant threat to the organization may have come from an otherwise unrelated group, one which indeed blurs the lines between organized criminal activity and terrorist activity, namely the "hacktivist collective" referred to as "Anonymous." The Guardian on November 2, 2011, reported that the loose affiliation of computer hackers had obtained substantial records that could be used to "expose collaborators with [the] cartel," which resulted in Los Zetas "hiring its own security experts to track the hackers down" (Arthur 2011)
