The first 1 I have chosen is technically referred to as “Bribery or 18 USC § 201-Type Violations” is a jurisprudence implemented to any person who puts frontward. pledges. or gives anything to a “public official” to force per unit area. manipulate. or carry any “official act” ( Department of Defense. 2006. n. p. ) . It is a jurisprudence which prohibits any “public official” to take a firm stand. inquire for. or accept anything in exchange of executing an “official act” ( Department of Defense. 2006. n. p. ) .

The 2nd is technically known as “Conflict of Interest or 18 USC § 208-Type Violations” . which prohibits any individual working for the “executive subdivision of the United States Government” or any “independent bureau of the United States” to play a portion in the indorsement. mandate. animadversion. rendition of advice. apprehension. contract. wherein he or she has a fiscal involvement in ( Department of Defense. 2006. n. p. ) . Last but non least is technically referred to as “Misuse of Government-Owned Vehicles or 31 U. S. C.

§ 1349” . which disallows the usage of government-owned vehicles in “unofficial business” . significance. transactions/travels/etcetera which are non authorized by the authorities ( Department of Defense. 2006. n. p. ) . Examples An illustration of “Bribery or 18 USC § 201-Type Violations” is this: “A adult male who wanted to his visa to another state be approved every bit shortly as possible and so he offered money and jewelleries to the officer in charge of the blessing and issue of visa and because the officer in charge accepted it. he was charged with bribery” ( Department of Defense. 2006. N.

p. ) . On the other manus. an illustration of “Conflict of Interest or 18 USC § 208-Type Violations” is this: “A caterer. who is the married woman of the mayor’s secretary. has been allowed to provide for the dinner meeting at the mayor’s office ; the secretary ought to be charged here because he used the office the city manager to come in into contract with his married woman. which seemingly shows struggle of interest” ( Department of Defense. 2006. N.

p. ) . Finally. an illustration for the “Misuse of Government-Owned Vehicles or 31 U. S. C. § 1349” is this: “A regional manager uses the authorities vehicle even after office hours to travel to the casino. meet with Realtors. or attend Rotary Club meetings” ( Department of Defense. 2006. n. p. ) . Possible Fines/Punishment for the Misdemeanor

Meanwhile. if an person is proven guilty with the first misdemeanor that I have chosen foremost. which is technically referred to as “Bribery or 18 USC § 201-Type Violations” . the individual may be obliged to pay a all right or he or she may be sent to prison for two ( 2 ) old ages or less. or he or she could be made to pay for the all right and at the same clip may besides be sent to prison ( Cornell University Law School. n. d. . n. p. ) .

Similarly. if an person is proven guilty with the 2nd misdemeanor that I have discussed briefly. which is technically known as “Conflict of Interest or 18 USC § 208-Type Violations” . the individual may be obliged to pay a all right or he or she may be sent to prison for one ( 1 ) twelvemonth or less. or he or she could be made to pay for the all right and at the same clip may besides be sent to prison ( Department of Defense. 2006. n. p. ) . With the last misdemeanor discussed. “Misuse of Government-Owned Vehicles or 31 U.

S. C. § 1349” . if an person is proven guilty of it. he or she is given one ( 1 ) month suspension or more depending on how bad one’s instance is ( Department of Defense. 2006. n. p. ) . A individual proven guilty of the aforesaid may besides be “removed from office” ( Department of Defense. 2006. n. p. ) . One Ethical Policy that I would Like to Change If given the chance I would wish to do some alterations with respects to the policy on the “Misuse of Government-Owned Vehicles or 31 U. S. C. § 1349” .

Since money is scarce presents. everyone should be obliged to salvage ; including those in the authorities and one manner to salvage is non to utilize authorities vehicles in unofficial concerns. The penalty should non be merely suspension or being fired from work. guilty persons should besides be sent to prison so that they will function as illustrations because if the penalty is as “light” or “easy” as acquiring fired or suspended so most employees will non truly be prevented to go against this jurisprudence.
