A 'Globe' examination found that Boston police officers exercise broad discretion when deciding whether to issue a ticket.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If police officers routinely issue tickets for the most serious traffic offenses, they'll be treating drivers of all races, sexes, and ages equally.
Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to us in all the duties of life.
Discretion is nothing other than the sense of justice with respect to the sphere of the intimate contents of life.
Officers are taught to use all the tricks and lies that courts permit within the scope of the Fifth Amendment's shield against self-incrimination.
I believe that most police are conscientious and want only to provide safety for us.
Depart from discretion when it interferes with duty.
Asking questions is an essential part of police investigation. In the ordinary sense a police officer is free to ask a person for identification without implicating the Fourth Amendment.
New York cops are very specific in terms of the way they talk and the way they handle themselves.
The bottom line is, if somebody doesn't go through proper security screening, they're not going to go on the flight.
The NYPD has too urgent a mission and too few officers for us to waste time and resources on broad, unfocused surveillance. We have a responsibility to protect New Yorkers from violent crime or another terrorist attack - and we uphold the law in doing so.
