In our first discussion, you will be presented with a scenario and asked how you would react if you were a police officer. You must consider the consequences of your actions. You should read the article from Police Chief Magazine on Unconstitutional Policing http://www.policechiefmagazine.org/unconstitutional-policing-the-ethical-challenges-in-dealing-with-noble-cause-corruption/?ref=f0f0caef6d904a37584363f0dbb69073
You are a police officer and have made a traffic stop of a vehicle occupied by two individuals. You run the driver’s information and learn there are no outstanding warrants for either, but they have both been arrested before for drug offenses. They are in the vicinity of a local high school. You have a hunch that they may be transporting drugs but have no real evidence to support that. There has been a very big problem in your city with heroin being sold to teenagers.

•What are the consequences of your actions, regardless of the steps you take?
•What are the greater and lesser evils of your actions?
