Civil liability

            Response

            It is quite evident that America is on the process of becoming a police state and it is through the various amendments, that the American citizens are protected.  This has however slowed down the process of the America becoming a police state. The various actions that the police officers are undertaking without punishment given unto them, clearly indicates that the nation is moving towards a police state. Police officers are regarded as the law enforcers but they are however the law breakers and they do it without accountability and no punishment is accorded unto them. Some of the things that these police officers do may seem to be safety measures unto the citizens but it’s true that not all of them are. For instance arresting a person for suspecting that they are terrorists and without any restrictions on the number of days that they should be detained may seem safe to the public but there is no basis for the justification of the suspicion. The shooting of unarmed citizens with no punishment and more to that these officers are given paid leaves makes the situation even worse. Mass surveillance on the American citizens is not right and this has led to private invasions unto the citizens lives which are a violation of the fourth amendment (Gentile 2011). The key elements of the U.S. Code Title 42, in the section 1983 involves, every individual, who is a subject or is subjected to cause, any individual who is deprived of their rights are all liable in filing a lawsuit in an action at law as well as in the suit in equity (Gentile 2011).
