laura bush - VEHICULAR HOMICIDE - 14 May 2005 05:29 GMT If we're not gonna throw these killers and maimers in prison where they belong, shouldn't we at least put chips in their arms so we'll know at all times where these criminals are? If you say no, you're a criminal coddler.
editor@netpath.net - 14 May 2005 05:40 GMT "Microchip" speeders - FOR WHAT? As long as they legally can still drive, what difference does it make whether they drive in Toledo instead of Pittsburgh? And - if this is your "brilliant" idea of cheap traffic enforcement, there will be so many violators you won't have jail space for all of them!

You're right; the fact that murder, robbery, and rape means prison time has eliminated those crimes.

No one said it did eliminate them. But it did reduce them. If rape was "punished" by a $200 fine, you think rape rates would go up??

If rape was >"punished" by a $200 fine, you think rape rates would go up?? There is no evidence that laws OR jail time have any effect on those who would break the law. People make a decision on whether to break a law based on whether they feel the law is just, and without any regard to what the penalty is. The only time the penalty has an effect is when it is overly extreme AND the person is LIKELY to be caught.
So, we already have overly extreme punishments for speeding, and they have no effect. What follows is that the only way to reduce it (not eliminate it as that is impossible given the ludicrous limits imposed on competent drivers) is to increase enforcement to a level that ensures a likelihood of getting caught.

Explains why he's saving by scrimping on cars, emergency brakes, and tars.

All those filthy LIBERALS out there should be fixed so they don't breed, and micro-chipped so we can track their where abouts as they go about doing all their criminal acts. This way we could know which liberal was doing what crime, and be able to track that liberal down so that we could put a bullet in its head to keep society safe.

Pedophiles and Drunk drivers should suffer heavy penalties for their actions, and part of that is giving up a significant portion of their "privacy." On the other hand, if we were talking about parking tickets, I'd agree with you about that being overboard.

>nate eric@elcmedia.com - 14 May 2005 08:16 GMT People with several DWIs are mostly likely suffering from alcoholism, which is a mental illness. The solution is to keep them out of vehicles and in mandatory treatment and counseling. If you're willing to pay the taxes to keep them in prison you may as well spend the money instead on the treatment and counseling. You can't keep them in prison forever and when they get out they'll have the same issues.

Courts cannot make medical diagnoses. Drunks are drunks and if they repeatedly drive while drunk, then screw 'em.

Once an alcoholic turns the ignition key he becomes a common drunk. We don't "treat" him, we get him the hell out of his car and off the road as quickly as possible. At least that's what SHOULD happen.

Sounds good to me.
If the genetic component of alcoholism is so powerful that the person may be held responsible for his or her actions, that person should never be outside of an institution as they cannot be trusted to act responsibly. If the person expects to be treated as a responsible adult, they must act like a responsible adult - which includes taking responsibility for their actions.

I wouldn't go that far, but they definitely should not be allowed to drive or operate any piece of equipment or make decisions or any other activity where someone else'e health/life would be endangered.

So how would you accomplish this without incarceration? Every once in a while we read about a person who's lost his license 6 times, done jail time, killed at least one person, and wrecked a lot of stuff. What would YOU do?

I'm amazed that people have so much faith in treatment and counseling -- for other people. Did you see the program about prisons as lunatic asylums the other night? They looked at a system which offered treatment, pretty much all of which was absolutely useless after the 'patient' was pronounced cured.

Then ship them out to someplace like Iowa where they can grow food for people. And save the taxpayers trillions.
