Video Analyses
Noble cause corruption follows the teleological model of ethics. The approach emphasizes “good ends” and is a product of police officer “overinvestment” in their work. Police officers believe that in foregoing established legal procedures, they will more effectively remove criminals from the street and protect the public from harm. Examples of noble cause corruption include falsifying reports, planting or fabricating evidence, and/or exceeding or abusing lawful authority. In doing so, police officers believe that a desirable end is achieved (Martinelli, 2006).
Before starting this assignment, be sure you have read the Martinelli article titled “Unconstitutional Policing” that was assigned in Unit 9. You should also view the following video segments regarding police practices.

Your essay should accomplish the following:
- Identify whether the behavior is ethical or unethical.
- If ethical, what greater purpose or law enforcement responsibility does it serve to accomplish and why?
