Best Answer To Law Ethics Question
I sorta did, not sure if it counts as civil disobedience or not but when I was a Sheriff's Deputy there was a case where a guy (defendant) was getting a raw deal and I testified (in uniform) for the defense and even spoke out against the States Attorney during my testimony (called him a worthless peice of crap who was trying to look good to the voters at the defendant's expense.) I took a 5 day rip (suspension) for the testimony against sheriff's directive and a 5 day rip for my outburst in court as well as about 9 hours in a holding cell (in uniform lol) for contempt of court charges that were dropped. Kind of tanked my promotion chances on the job, but it was the right thing to do. I joined law enforcement to serve the community and I didnt feel the community was being served by screwing this guy over

Answer 3I frown on "civil disobedience" It gives our nation a black mark They look like a bunch of tramps It doesn't solve anything Don't they work at jobs somewhere It just makes police work harder which they don't need Jails become overcrowded for those who are arrested Sometimes it ties up traffic for innocent drivers Two wrongs don't make a right
Answer 4Gay rights, Unlawful occupation of defenseless countries(Iraq), Unlawful imprisonment (Guantanamo), and the enviroment.
Answer 5Wow I am not sure if there is such a thing as peaceful civil disobedience haha because it is DIS-----Obedience in their is bound to be problems with the police and fights and hoses on people like water I saw turned on people in other countries but if myself and the rest of the country felt we were in danger I would help out in anyway I could to spread the word and change the idea, the ideal behind the concept and law for that matter with thorough investigation and studie and proof of the actions that should be taken and no I have never particiapated in such yet :))))
Answer 6I protested the war in Iraq before it even got started. I was in college during the Vietnam War and gathered signature for a protest ad in our town paper, when my college went on strike. I am not sure how effective going to jail would be for me at this point. I would never assault anyone at a demonstration, and usually when you participate in one, they let you know where the line is to "cross over" if you intend to get arrested. Since I have never been arrested (I am 56), the threshold for me would have to be significant. If a friend or relative were killed in Iraq, I could see myself crossing that line. However, I would not take a stroll on the nuclear test site or any other such place. If the police during a demonstration started beating up on old grannies like me, I might get riled up enough to act up.
Answer 7In 1969, I resigned as a deputy sheriff because of the Chicago police riot of 1968. In 1970, I participated in a sit-in at the University of Denver, and a march downtown, because of the Kent State killings. Never cost me any jail time. ***
