Essay / Research Paper Abstract
6 pages in length. The desire to capture and prosecute criminals is an all-consuming venture for every common, hard-working police department; there is not an officer or special agent who wants the criminal mind to outsmart law enforcement operations.

Joe Friday, in his fervent quest to make inroads in the community's drug trafficking problem, clearly infringed upon the laws of personal privacy through entrapment, coercion and deception.
