Justice System 2.0

In justice system 2.0, i wanna talk about another part of our justice system, police force.

As we all know, society (you and me) give tremendous power to the police forces to implement justice. They got all kind of power including power to kill. They have the authority to involve in any criminal cases and power to hold and analyze all the evidence found. They have the power to forward the evidence to public prosecutor to continue with the trial.

We give all these powers to the police to maintain our safety. However, is our safety secured? does crime rate decrease? is our tax money well spent?

More importantly, are police doing their job according to rules and regulations?

Over the years, we have been informed with countless numbers of wrongfully convicted cases. It makes me wonder how polices determine their suspect and how they implement their investigation. It seems like they got it wrong so many times we lost confidence at them.

Recently i am pen-paling a death row inmates at San Quentin named William (Bill) Clark. Now i don't him and i can never be sure either he is guilty or not. However from the information and evidence of the case, it is very likely that he is wrongfully convicted and sentence to death primarily due to police misconduct.

Police is just a job / occupation. Police officials are human just like you and me. We have emotions such as anger and eager to win. If police officials choose the wrong suspect and determine to put the person behind bars simply because of anger or eager to prove their point. They got all the powers they need to manipulate, lie or create a virtual reality.

Another famous case of police misconduct is Ellen Reasonover case. Thankfully her case was overruled and she got her freedom now. The police department admitted they got it wrong and give Ellen 7.5 million for her 16 years in prison.

So, in reality, we give all the powers including license to kill (just like god) to a group of people just like us who work as police officials. They have the same emotional behavior like us, same IQ like us, same EQ like us and commit mistakes just like us yet we still trust them and continue to provide powers of god to them.
