The police have the responsibility to balance public protection from harm by respecting the human rights of suspects during prevention and investigation. However, it is difficult to achieve absolute balance because it is determined based on the police because the process or model of crime control, especially in the case of special investigative techniques, is a confidential investigation of serious crimes based on the principles of legality, necessity, proportionality, and adequate protection. The purpose of the doctrinal article evaluates the role of special crime investigation techniques for human trafficking in Ethiopia. Data is collected through document review and interviews with crime investigators, intentionally and in direct contact. Qualitative research and descriptive design. The collected data is analyzed thematically. Research findings that there are some special investigative technical provisions in FDRE criminal justice policies, human trafficking and smuggling of migrant proclamations. However, this legal basis is not as comprehensive as specific types of investigation techniques, who did it and for how long, the requirements for doing this were not answered. Therefore, the House of Representatives must make a law covering all specific investigative techniques for human trafficking in Ethiopia. The Attorney General must also create public awareness about it.

The Justice Department issued a stern warning to the nation's doctors today that they are under surveillance for evidence of price fixing and other violations of the antitrust laws. Assistant Attorney General Charles R. Rule, head of the Justice Department's antitrust division, told members of the American Medical Association's House of Delegates that agreements by doctors to reduce medical competition and thus harm their patients' interest "can be hazardous to your personal freedom." "You can go to jail," he said. The Justice Department's enforcement policy "is necessary to insure that society's decision to rely on competition to hold down health care costs will not be frustrated by a handful of greedy individuals." The assistant attorney general gave . . . advice to doctors: Do not make any agreement with any competing independent doctors on prices or fee schedules, on patients you will serve or locations from which you will draw patients or on joint refusal to offer services to alternative health delivery systems.

By mid-1973 the Watergate scandal was reaching towards the highest levels of the United States' Administration. Elliot Richardson was nominated as Attorney General with a particular mandate to sort out the affair. The Senate Judiciary Committee, in its hearings on Richardson's nomination, was vitally concerned to ensure that the Office of Watergate Special Prosecutor should have maximum effectiveness and independence. The formula eventually agreed upon was promulgated by the Attorney General as a regulation under powers vested in him by Statute to prescribe regulations for the Justice Department. On the question of independence, it provided:… The Special Prosecutor will carry out these responsibilities with the full support of the Department of Justice, until such time as, in his judgment, he has completed them or until a date mutually agreed upon between the Attorney General and himself. … The Special Prosecutor will not be removed from his duties except for extraordinary improprieties on his part.
