Law Enforcement Policies

The article investigates the topic of police officers wearing body cameras in the United States. The author contends that the use of body cameras would help shield police officers from false allegations and discourage rogue officers from intimidating people when doing their duties. In favor of the claim, the article cites how body cameras have succeeded in clearing police officers of false allegations raised by members of the public. The article admits that the cost of installing body cameras on all police officers is prohibitive. It is still unclear whether police officers are expected to turn on or off their body cameras. Each state or local government will legislate on the finer details of the policy. However, the article has not looked in the issue of admissibility of the evidence collected by the camera in a court of law. They can easily be challenged on the basis of violating privacy and ease of editing the clips.

#2 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issues

The essay looks at the role of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The author outlines the responsibilities of the EPA and singles out the use of wind power as an integral method to ensure use of sustainable energy. Many developed countries such as the United States use nuclear energy that poses numerous risks to the environment. The global population also relies of fossil fuel or oil to power critical processes such as manufacturing and transportation. Hence, the adoption of wind energy could generate clean power to be used across the country. As the author suggests, there are many suitable locations for wind farms across the country that include hilltops, plain areas and shore lines. In addition, EPA could also help in the use of other clean sources of energy such as solar and water. As a global leader, the United States has a role to set the pace in the use of sustainable energy in large scale.
