...Thankfully, law enforcement agents put their lives on the line every day to try to purge the United States of drugs. While this seems to be an endless endeavor, they still pursue drug dealers in hopes of making a difference. Moreover, these officers utilize four major drug-law enforcement operations to apprehend these drug offenders, which consist of the reverse sting, the controlled buy, the undercover buy and the knock and talk. Of these operations, the two I will discuss are the reverse sting and the undercover buy. First, the reverse sting is a drug-law enforcement operation, where undercover agents pose as drug dealers and sell a controlled substance or an imitation version of the controlled substance to buyers. This type of operation...

...Gun Control Imagine a world where there were no laws controlling who could and couldn’t buy guns. Imagine that a felon who had committed armed robbery could walk into any store and buy a gun along with the ammunition that is needed for that gun. It would be a scary would if anybody and everybody were able to buy a gun. If there were no laws for gun owners this situation could happen these laws are put into place to protect not only citizens but to protect the gun owners. Thankfully we live in a world where gun control has evolved over the years in order to protect America and its citizens. 1911 was when the first law towards gun control was passed and according to The Salt Lake Tribune (1995) New York passes the Sullivan Law, which makes buying or carrying a handgun without a permit a felony. Which also started the first political fray against the gun control that was stopped because of the start of World War I? It was the start of both sides of gun control, not only was it the start of gun control, however it was also the start of people political or not, the laws were against the gun control. These Laws are put into effect to protect, and eleven years later, there was another law that was passed. In 1927 Congress had passed a law that would ban mail-order sales of a handgun but the advocates fail to pass that law on a federal level. After that, states did start putting laws into place that would regulate the use and sales of handguns (The Salt Lake Tribune, 1995). According...

...Hard to Buy on Sundays Melissa Jaronik English 111-86B October 9, 2012 Final Paper 2 Prohibition ended in 1933, yet seventy-nine years later consumers in Indiana are still affected by its continuing impact. Indiana is one of just three states that do not allow Sunday carry out sales of beer, wine, and liquor. Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky are all benefiting of this law. The tax revenue generated to the states surrounding Indiana should be going to the state of Indiana. The ban of the sale of carry out alcohol on Sunday’s should be lifted in Indiana because, the year is 2012 and religious views should not be dictating consumers lives, thousands of dollars of tax revenue can be gained, it will increase sales to small businesses, and it would also make football fans happy to not have to rush on Saturdays to get their beer before Sunday. Hoosiers should be allowed to buy any form of alcohol and any amount of alcohol on Sundays. It is important to understand the meaning of why laws like banning liquor and beer sales on Sunday are put into effect. Indiana is one of many states that maintain a ban on Sunday liquor sales, even though Sunday sales of alcohol could bring in much needed revenues to the state. Sunday closing laws, often referred to as “blue laws,” generally proscribe all labor, business and other commercial activities on Sunday. These laws prohibit activities ranging from racing motor vehicles and dogs, hunting, operating pawnbrokers, conducting...

...alcohol sales. Most of the time it is easy to judge the age, but there are times when it is hard to tell if the customer is over the age of forty so they can buy alcohol without being carded. The only way to solve this problem is to require that everyone, by law, is to be carded regardless of their appearance of age. When it comes to dealing with a law, many people feel that they are above the law and can get away with anything. Cashiers and servers have to deal with the customers who are just old enough to buy alcohol, and think they don’t have to be carded anymore; and the ones who are don’t look quite like they are forty and still have to card them. The law does require us to card anyone who appears to be under the age of forty. Most of the time the customers have their I.D.s, but there are many times where they “forgot”, sometimes they truly forget, and still hope we sell the alcohol to them, but legally we are not allowed to sell the alcohol to them if we ask for their I.D. A lot of the time making the decision of carding a person can make us very uncomfortable, and scared for our jobs. For example a few weeks ago I had two customers come to my check stand with a full buggy of beer, and both of them look to be about my age, so I asked for their I.D.s. One tried to tell me that they always come there to buy alcohol, none of my coworkers knew them, and they claimed that I could ask anyone who they were; which made me feel really uncomfortable. Eventually they claimed...

...The Law of Supply and Demand ECO/365 The Law of Supply and Demand Understanding the laws of supply and demand are central to understanding how the capitalist economy operates. Since we rely on market forces instead of government forces to distribute goods and services, there must be some method for determining who gets the products that are produced. This is where supply and demand comes in. By themselves the laws of supply and demand give us back basic information, but when combined together are the key to distribution in the market economy which is price. The law of supply and demand is defined as the common sense principle that defines the generally observed relationship between demand, supply, and prices. As the demand increases the price goes up, which attracts new suppliers who increase the supply bringing the price back to normal. However, in the marketing of high price (prestige) goods, such as perfumes, jewelry, watches, cars, liquor a low price may be associated with low quality, and can reduce the demand. One function of markets is to find “equilibrium” which is prices that balance the supplies of and demands for goods and services. An equilibrium price which is also known as “market clearing” is one at which each producer can sell all he wants to produce and each consumer can buy all he demands. Naturally, producers always would like to charge higher prices, but even if they have no competitors, they are limited by the law of demand. If producers insist...

...stimulate a sense of need is the very foundation of advertising. The pseudo logical appeal to emotion presented in such ads stimulates us to buy things like soft drinks, of which none admit to their product as being merely carbonated sugar water, in doing so they create an image, an image we are told is an ideal. (Cline 1) Under law, bait and switch advertising is considered illegal if the seller has no "intent or want to sell" the advertised item. The fact of the matter is, though, that proving such a bait and switch practice can be fairly difficult, as there must be clear proof that there has been an intention to defraud by the seller. That is not to say, however, that such fraud cannot be caught. Bait and switch advertising occurs when a particular item is priced so low that consumers are lured into the store to buy it. This is known as the bait. Once the customer tries to buy the advertised item, they are told that it is sold or they are discouraged from buying it by the salesperson. The store employee may tell customers that the product is actually inferior and try to convince you to buy a more expensive product. This is the switch. This type of advertising is illegal in most states if the advertised product is not available in reasonable quantities. Depending on the needs, a trustworthy salesperson may try to persuade the customer to buy a better quality item...

...Gun Control ENG 102 Andrew Hughes There are a lot of hot topics in our country and gun control is one that is a constantly popular one. People use guns for many different reasons and have to go through a background check to get them, which is done by contacting the state law enforcement to make sure that the purchaser of the gun has not committed any crimes that would exclude them from buying a gun. Lawmakers are trying to make it harder and even not possible for Americans to purchase and own guns, even though places with carry laws are statistically much safer places to live, like in Florida where the murder rate has gone down since it was implemented. America would be a much safer place to live if every law abiding citizen were allowed to purchase and carry a gun on them at all times. People use guns for a variety of reasons in our country. Some people rely on having guns to hunt for either sport or to get food to feed their families. Then there are the people who use guns for fun to do things like shoot clay pigeons or do competition shooting. The last way that people use guns for is for personal protection. Whether at home or actually carrying the weapon on them people rely on having a gun on them to feel safer and more secure. Other people carry guns for work reasons whether they are the police or someone who might carry large amounts of money around for their jobs. The anti-gun portion of America thinks that people carry guns because they are paranoid, but that...
