Since Steve seemed like he was polite and very professional about the matter, I cannot see where Karen would not understand that Steve was just doing his job. So even if she does not understand that he was just doing his job, and according to The Daily Record, “defamation alleges that there was an ignoring and disrespecting of privacy involved. False imprisonment is where there was fraud involved with the intent to cause emotional worry and depression (U.S. District Court, 2009). Neither of these were the case with Karen, and Steve.

She had in fact received her due process by law when her sister Kasey (posing as Katherine) was released on bail for the narcotic’s charge in Trimble County. The main issue of due process is the right of notice of the charge levied against a person (Bohm & Haley, 2018). When Kasey posing as Katherine signed paperwork at the police station and posted bail for the charges levied against her, she received due process. Further, when the officer detained Katherine he was doing so with a facially valid arrest warrant.…

    Americans today live in a country overflowing with more prisoners than ever, yet crime has been dropping since the late twentieth century.

These approaches have drastically increased the prison population, to the point that 1 in 31 adults, or 3.2% of the population, will spend some time in prison in their lifetime (ibid).…
