  Reality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reality in this sense may include both being and nothingness, whereas "existence" is often restricted to being.
In philosophy, reality is contrasted with nonexistence (e.g., unicorns do not exist; so they are not real) and mere possibility (a mountain made of gold is merely possible, but is not real) unless they are discovered.
In psychiatry, reality, or rather, the idea of being in touch with reality is integral to the notion of schizophrenia, since it has often been defined in part by reference to being "out of touch" with reality.

Consensus reality is the set or totality of what is believed to be real, the "reality" accepted by the majority of individuals in a given place or at a given time.
The connotation of "consensus reality" is, with few exceptions, disparaging: it is usually employed by idealist, surrealist and other anti-realist theorists with the implication that this consensus reality is, to a greater or lesser extent, false.
Believers in reality enforcement are typically sympathetic to anti-psychiatry and would describe involuntary commitment as often being a form of reality enforcement (as in the course of treatment the patient may be encouraged to abandon beliefs the psychiatrist considers to be delusions and thus to have his beliefs come into line with consenus reality).

And although these aforementioned researchers realize that the mediation of messages, meaning, construct, and context between television and the viewer is a reciprocal relationship, television typically takes the form of an independent variable in their studies (Signorielli and Morgan 1990; Lewis 1991; Gerbner 1994; Ettema and Whitney 1994).

 Photo Enforcement: Reality
However, the reality is that there is NOT a true consensus or "cut and dried" method of setting signal timing just as there is no one single solution for all situations.
Therefore, it is no surprise that photo enforcement operates as it does in practice as it is a given that the police are typically in charge of it.
As stated previously, the real problem is that there is not currently a holistic approach being taken.

 FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin,The: Improving the view of the world; law enforcement and augmented reality technology
One of these emerging and powerful technologies, augmented reality (AR), uses wearable components to overlay virtual (computer-generated) information onto individuals' real-world view or into their real-world experiences in a way that improves and enhances their abilities to accomplish a wide variety of tasks and missions.
Still in the early stages of research and development, AR combines the real and the virtual, displaying information in real time, in a way that enhances the individual abilities of people operating in the real world.
Of particular concern to law enforcement is the need for the tracking system to function accurately outdoors in open terrain, as well as indoors.

But it seems clear that the real aim and utility of the program is in everyday law enforcement.
MATRIX officials have claimed that the program does not include the highly controversial practice of law enforcement “data mining,” in which an automated computer program scans through the records of everyone — criminal and innocent alike — in a search for patterns that are thought to suggest wrongdoing.
Reality: There is no guarantee that the accuracy of the data will be checked and every reason to believe that it won’t be.

Overall, government and law enforcement seem to lag behind the private sector in both the use of technologies and the development of expertise in such applications.
Sensing the entire environment in real time using a hybrid tracking system to accurately determine the location of the user, as well as natural and manmade terrain features, is a necessity and a hurdle that technology has yet to fully overcome.
Devices and technologies that could be incorporated into a law enforcement AR system include night and thermal imagers; biometric, chemical/ biological, and explosive sensors; identification and tracking of moving and stationary objects; and real-time speech translation and text-to-speech systems.

Current environmental enforcement policy often violates fundamental principles of fairness and justice—by using criminal punishments where they're not appropriate, by abandoning traditional concepts of intent and responsibility, and by eroding constitutional protections.

 LEADERSHIP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Many individuals, especially in the Field of Law Enforcement, have managed to shift their allegiance FROM their OATH where their allegiance belongs, to their AGENCY or “TEAM” where it does NOT belong if a situation exists that would cause an individual to violate his or her OATH to “save the reputation of the team”.
So often Law Enforcement officers are asked to compromise their integrity for the sake of the team.
My grandfather's dictionary defined politics as *a plan or course of action intended to affect future events.* Given that definition, those in law enforcement had better have such plans formulated, or they are indicating that they have neither concern for nor interest in the future.

Physicists proceed as though the notion of a physical body is quite clear and straightforward--which perhaps in the end it will found to be--but at any rate, physics assumes that, and then asks questions about how all physical bodies behave, and then does experiments to find out the answers.
It is a platitude (at least among people who write introductions to philosophy) that everybody has a philosophy, though they might not all realize it or be able to defend it.
But at the same time the word "philosophy" as it is used by philosophers is nothing like what is meant by people who say "Here's my philosophy of life..." Such is the tension between pedagogy and scholarship.
