Document Summary
Collaborative study guide for herbert"s policing space: territoriality & the los angeles police department. The provided law allows the officers to create categories of space and distinguish how to act in public vs. private space. An issue might be that the law can have different interpretations and some people get away with things that others don"t. The law affects how people are going to act in relation to the power positions of other individuals. Example: when the police go to someone"s house and the resident takes a chair to speak to the officer outside because the officer doesn"t have a warrant to search her house and she knows he needs one. Adhere to the written law; unfortunately, law is subject to interpretation/is more complicated in the real world. Laws create conditions of possibility for police action (they define crimes, police responsible for detecting techniques they"re permitted to use).
