A police officer’s job is about
ensuring the protection of basic moral rights, including the right to life,
liberty, physical and property security. The overall outcome or goal of
policing is the protection of constitutional rights. However, there have been
times when police have engaged in unethical and immoral practices when doing
their job which have resulted in important U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
Research and find a U.S. Supreme
Court case that addresses unethical police decisions or immoral practices by
the police. Provide a brief synopsis of the case and discuss how the Supreme
Court views procedural justice and/or police misconduct.
