User: What are the internal and external mechanisms that influence police discretion?

Note: It is the Discretionary matrix of: Arrest for an offense 1) let go with a warning 2) ticket as by law 3) arrest and book into jail An officer has these choices about a stop. As the decision is easy at step one, but; of someone is hindering, [ then step 2 or 3 can be invoked. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20110709172524AAeTr5I ]

Note: I'm sorry that that wasn't a good answer. Please hold on while I contact an expert.

Weegy: The policeman decides whether to arrest you or not. It's his discretion. The internal/external mechanisms that influence a policeman's decision to arrest you is a big question with many answers. [ But I'll give a couple examples: Internal might be if he feels compassion (doubtful). External might be if you are abusive. ]
