According to court documents, Lopez is believed to have improperly tampered with 69 misdemeanor DUI cases, 160 other misdemeanor cases and 805 traffic-related cases.

Miranda Warnings

http://enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/article_popover_share.aspx?guid=edb8b711-f0ef-423a-9f00-39bd3c3b75cbAfter all, the U.S. Supreme Court’s famous 1966 decision in Miranda v. Arizona required police to explicitly remind accused adults of their 6th Amendment right to counsel and their 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination, in order to ensure against unconstitutionally coerced statements made during situations that are stressful even for competent adults. Once read their rights, the accused were on notice that they could choose to keep quiet.

But it’s hard to imagine that the average 10-year-old would understand that, or why it’s important, or that an adult relative who is encouraging him to speak up, as in Joseph’s case, might not be looking out for his best interests.

INTERPOL

Its principal services are to provide its 188 member nations with information on the whereabouts of international criminals, to organize seminars on scientific crime detection, and to facilitate the apprehension of criminals. It does not apprehend criminals directly; Interpol has no officials who do policing or criminal investigative work. 25Slide26

27Slide28

Cops

Where does the word cops come from?One of the most common theories suggests that it is an acronym for "constable on patrol," but there is no historical or etymological evidence to back up this interpretation. Most acronym-based words entered the language in the 20th century, and police officers have been called cops or coppers for much longer. Another common misconception is that the term refers to copper buttons that an officer would wear on his uniform, but this is similarly unsupported by any historical evidence.28Slide29

Cops cont’d

Police officers have been called coppers since at least 1846, and by 1859, the shortened term entered common use. Before 1846, police officers in England were referred to as "Bobbies," named after Sir Robert Peel, the creator of the first Metropolitan Police force in London in 1828.Sworn peace officer- " I, ___________________________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which I am about to enter.

A history of

the American Police This is not in our text book, I just want you to have this information

30Slide31

A history of

the American Police The first police Department in the United States In 1801, Boston became the first American city to acquire a formal night watch. The watchmen were paid $.50 cents a night.

In 1833, Philadelphia became the first city to employ both day and night watchmen.

Five years later, Boston formed the first organized police department.

It consisted with 6 full-time officers and was modeled after the London Metropolitan Police which had been established in 1829 by Sir Robert “Bobbie” Peel.

31Slide32

Peelers

The 'Peelers' were issued with a wooden truncheon carried in a long pocket in the tail of their coat, a pair of handcuffs and a wooden rattle to raise the alarm. By the 1880s this rattle had been replaced by a whistle32

Blue was chosen for the police 

uniform, as

it differentiated the police from the scarlet worn by the

army

 Their job was apolitical;

to maintain the peace and apprehend criminals for the courts to process according to the lawSlide33

First Police officer killed in the

line of dutyOn October 18, 1857, at about 5:15 a.m., Boston Police Officer Ezekiel W. Hodsdon was patrolling the Corner of Havre and Maverick Street in East Boston. Hodsdon attempted to arrest two suspects for a burglary. A struggle ensued, and one of the suspects was able to get behind Hodsdon and shoot him in the head. Hodsdon died about 10:00 A.M., becoming the first Boston police officer killed in the line of duty. He was 25 years old. The murderers fled. Thousands of people visited the station house to view the body.

Hodsdon

left behind his wife Lydia and infant son Ezekiel who was born just 13 days prior to his death.

33Slide34

Police

Where did the name Police come from?The Police in Ancient Greece. The term “police” used by modern states to describe the body enforcing the law and maintaining order, comes from Middle French police, in turn from Latin politia, which is the latinization of the Greek politeia

standing for “citizenship, administration, civil polity”.
