Prompt: As the United States responds to the threat of terrorism, do you believe the government has been appropriately sensitive to the constitutional rights of those within its borders? Why or why not? Please support your discussion with specific facts and sources, citing at least one example, while avoiding reference to anecdotal examples or circumstances. Prompt: You are a police officer on patrol and observe a vehicle weaving in and out of traffic almost striking other vehicles and the center divider. You pull the vehicle over as you believe the driver is drunk. When you contact the driver, they roll down the window and you can smell the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. As you approach the driver, you see the driver is your mother and is obviously intoxicated. What would you do and why? Prompt: Discuss police discretion and its effects on public perception.
