Ethical Dilemma:The Police Role in Society
Situation 1
As a patrol officer, you are only doing your job when you stop a car for running a red light. Unfortunately, the driver of the car happens to be the mayor. You ticket her anyway, but the next morning you get called into the captain’s office and told in no uncertain terms that you screwed up, because of an informal policy extending “courtesy” to city politicians. Several nights later, you observe the mayor’s car weaving erratically across lanes and speeding. What would you do? What is the driver were a fellow police officer? What if the driver were a high school friend?
Situation 2
There is a well-known minor criminal in your district. Everyone is aware that he is engaged in a variety of crimes, including burglary, fencing, and drug dealing. However, you have been unable to make a case against him. Now he is the victim of a crime-he reports that he is the victim of theft and that his neighbor stole his riding lawnmower. How would you treat his case.
