Due Process Discussion Law Assignment
The video ‘Busted’ (see link below) obviously encourages individuals to fully employ their constitutional rights during police encounters. In doing so, individuals will cooperate less with the police.
Suppose that you are a high school principal in a city where there have been some recent incidents between the police and minority groups in the community that have exacerbated tensions between the police and those groups. The students in your high school come mainly from the affected groups. You are considering making the “Busted” video mandatory viewing for all students but police officials and others believe that doing so will worsen the situation. On the other hand, the video does accurately reflect the constitutional rights of the people and you believe that it is important for students to know these rights and assert them. Would you require students to view the film? Explain your reasoning.
