Answer to Question 1

A police officer can be held liable civilly, criminally, and administratively at both the
federal and state levels of government for the same act, if all the elements for
liability are present. For example, an act of an officer that leads to the wrongful
death of a suspect may subject the officer to liability under state and federal laws.
Under each, the officer may be held liable civilly, criminally, and administratively.
The double jeopardy defense does not work in these cases because it applies only if
there are successive prosecutions for the same offense by the same jurisdiction.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
