Police Judgment
1.
The correct answer is (A).
You should not follow orders that you know to be unethical or illegal; however, because you are a new officer in this situation, your field-training officer is likely to have more legal knowledge and experience than you. The best step to take first is to ask your supervisor to clarify his order. With this additional knowledge, you would then be able to make an informed choice as to whether you should comply with this order or not.
2.
The correct answer is (A).
Since murder is often a crime of passion, the police may have little means to foresee or prevent it. Burglary, prostitution, an auto theft are premeditated and, to some extent, visible. Police vigilance can help prevent opportunities for such crimes to occur.
