Benny operates a business. He knows that it is a crime to bribe a law enforcement officer for favorable duties. However, he avoids "bribery" by sending "gifts" to the police chief as a token of appreciation for services to the town. The chief is impressed and ensures Benny is "well protected". Analyze the situation. The Cary town council passes an ordinance to prohibit aircraft from taking off before 7:00 AM, since it disturbs town residents. An airline that operates out of Cary's airport-- and is subject to federal regulation--files a challenge to the ordinance. What is the airline's basis for the challenge? How do you think it will turn out? A case is being heard by a county court. The judge, as well as the jury, realize that there is no specific statute to apply to the situation, so they refer to previously recorded legal decisions that were made in similar cases. Discuss; be sure to mention he terminology for what they are doing/using. Benny operates a business. He knows that it is a crime to bribe a law enforcement officer for favorable duties.
