Individual Rights Vs. Public Oder

...

Some public order crimes are but are not limited to prostitution and driving under the influence. Public order crimes are considered disruptive, harmful, and sometimes dangerous to a community.

The Public order act of 1965 enforces laws, which would help to maintain public order. Breaches of public order such as threatening, abusive, or obscene languaemay result in a fine or prison time. Individual rights are a moral concept that connotes an individual’s freedom in a social setting.

Every individual have the right to liberty property and the pursuit of happiness these three concepts which were introduced in the Declaration of independence are some of the (natural) or unalienable rights of man.

Some people believe that public order contradicts the United States constitution because it compromises the freedoms promised to us within the document. Public order favors society’s best interests over individual rights and freedoms.

The Bill of rights and the U.S. constitution protects and ensures individual rights. Some rights that were granted to us in these documents are but not limited to Due process. The right to; petition the government, the Freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, and the freedom of press.

Summary

The American citizens who is accused of committing crimes as well as the law abiding citizen woo does not commit any crimes, has the protections and rights that are in the United States Constitution and in the United States Bill of Rights.

The public has the right to demand the order be kept. The order must be kept, but not at the cost of any one person or persons’ Constitutional rights being violated. There is not much difference between Individual Rights and Public order. The Individual Rights are fought in the courts of America, not based on public opinion.

The public order rights are the every day crimes that the American citizen has to see or attempt to avoid, the nuisance type crimes, that lead to the courts when reported, but are some of the time ignored or excepted as the norm, and will be over looked until it just happens to be on the doorstep of the wrong person who will not ignore this and will report the offence to the law enforcement personal to get the legal and court system going
