However, Doherty took the themes of these books as further evidence of Adams' wrong doing, although Adams himself never admitted to anything about being part of the Black Blocs or believing in anarchist ideologies. The only thing Adams sad was that he was an environmentalist, which is why he had been collecting the glass Coca Cola bottles in order to recycle them later when he found an acceptable recycling location. Additionally, Officer Doherty found medication on Adams person as well. This medication was prescribed to Thomas Adams, a fact which Doherty should have seen as an obvious red flag that he was dealing with a minor with behavioral and emotional issues, which should have led him to be even more sensitive in his actions towards Adams. Yet, Officer Doherty seemed to only see this as further reason that Adams was guilty.
This leads into the second charge against Adams, the carrying a concealed weapon. The supposed weapon here is the glass bottles Doherty discovered in the back pack. All the bottles were Coca Cola bottles, and Adams had given a reasonable understandable explanation for why he would have them. Officer Doherty did not find any rocks on Adams person, which was another reason to suspect that he would not have been affiliated with the Black Blocs, who had also been seen gathering rocks to assault police officers with. It is not a crime to carry glass bottles in a bag, and thus this is clearly not enough evidence to show that Adams was carrying a concealed weapon. Again, because the search was illegal, this evidence should ultimately be dismissed anyways.
Finally, there is the motion to dismiss all statements based on juvenile status. Adams is only fifteen. Yet, he did not have an ID to show Officer Doherty to clarify his exact age. This could have been problematic if it was not for the fact that Officer Doherty himself stated that he noticed Adams was just a tall, lanky teen upon first encountering...

To the precedent of Paula's case, a prominent case, which exemplified the sometimes institutionalized presence of inappropriate sexuality in the workplace, came to light when "eight women and one man were fired from a North Mankato (MN) women's shelter because (allegedly) they refused to fit into the sexually charged atmosphere created by a few staff members." (Lang, 1) the clarity of motives for their collective dismissal aligned the decision
In that regard, the dean could avoid an outright refusal and still satisfy her ethical obligation (and without creating potential liability) by advising Ms. Hall that any letter of recommendation would necessarily reference both her academic performance and also the objective factual circumstances precipitating her withdrawal from NBSU. The alternative of providing the requested recommendation letter without any reference to the accusations could potentially result in liability for NBSU should Ms.
Legal Ethical Environment [Type the document title] Over the last several years, the mining industry has faced similar challenges. Part of the reason for this is because of the increase in demand for a host of different raw materials. In the case of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, they are facing similar challenges from various safety issues. Below we will examine how both companies are addressing this underlying problem.
