What are some methods to prevent police corruption?
Q. Police corruption seems to be an increasing problem in the United States as well as most of the world. With higher reports of police brutality, racial profiling by police, and plain system abuses, many people have a growing distrust of the police and their methods.

A reward based "tattle tale" system sometimes works as it rewards officers for reporting others, but many police officers seem to "stick together" preventing this from working effectively. What are other methods that could help? What are you thoughts in general about police corruption? Have you directly been affected by it?

What do the police need to do to prove someone who is walking home is drunk?
Q. For a driver, the police have all kinds of tests and checks to determine whether the driver is under the influence of booze. But, it seems that a cop can just see someone "staggering" home, and throw him or her in the slammer. Is that true, or do the police need to adminster the same tests to a pedestrian as a driver before locking the drunk up?

A. Cops do what they want - but most are too busy to be bothered with the paperwork. So if you're in your neighborhood, and no one is gonna mug you, they'll let you go...
