GEC107 - Ethics

The planting of evidence in the case of Gerald is not ethically justifiable, as it is a form
of entrapment and undermines the principle of innocent until proven guilty. It also
undermines the integrity of the justice system.

As for John's case, planting evidence is also not ethically justifiable, as it undermines
the principle of innocence until proven guilty. It also undermines the integrity of the
justice system. Furthermore, it is illegal to plant evidence.

Immanuel Kant's principle of universalizability holds that any action that one takes
should be able to be made into a universal law without contradiction. Using this
principle, it can be argued that planting evidence would not be able to be made into a
universal law without contradiction, as it would undermine the principles of justice and
integrity. Therefore, Kant would likely argue that planting evidence is not morally
justifiable.
