This site contains exculpatory evidence which is the evidence favorable to the defendant in a criminal trial, which clears or tends to clear the defendant of guilt. In many countries such as the United States, if the police or prosecutor has found such evidence, he/she must disclose it to the defendant. The prosecution's failure to disclose exculpatory evidence can result in the dismissal of a case.

Over the past two decades, there has been an unprecedented movement of governments worldwide toward democratic principles.

Unfortunately, policing practices have often not changed as rapidly as other aspects of government in the transition to democracy.

Police administrators under new democratic regimes often include many of the same individuals who abused civilian populations when they were acting as agents of control under authoritarian governments.

Democratization has frequently been accompanied by dramatic increases in crime rates and calls for police tactics that the public thinks will bring down crime, even at the expense of civil liberties.
