Sert: That is why I suggested Artificial Intelligence replace cops, and how it would compliment Tass's idea much more.

First of all, let's establish, are we talking about the United States here?
Quote:
People need to get off their high horses and realize that everyone is human, even criminals, and that in a desperate situation, EVERY ONE OF US might easily choose to commit a crime. Don't judge people, try to help them instead. I'm amazed at how people are pissing on the Declaration of Independence. Isn't America supposed to be a "free country"? wtf is this? (again I assume we're talking about America here) Quote:

See: appeal process. You also have to break a few eggs to make a good omelet, or so the expression goes.
And, as I said... the constitution says nothing of punishment. So what makes my suggested punishment wrong and yours right? No where did I say to get rid of the legal system that convicts criminals.

There's another far more famous expression that goes "Love thy neighbor as thyself".
What I'm saying is that without leniency in the legal system you may get a decrease in crime (which, note, is a statistic innately defined by the government) but you also get an increase in chilling effects, which is simply not acceptable for a country that purports itself to be founded on principles of freedom and democracy. -fs |

Obviously it will never happen in the USA. It already is in place in other countries (as stated). The whole point is that WOULD this be a better way to have things, not WILL it be put into place.

True, I'm arguing under the assumption that the concept of individual freedom is sacrosanct. This is not always the case. For example - Singapore, where I'll be moving this fall. Weird stuff o.o

So we just beat the living snot out of anyone who commits a crime? From teenage music downloaders to assaults by people who grew up in an abusive home and don't know any better? From underage drinkers to rapists?
You act like prison is a cakewalk. Do me a favor and go out and rent the movie "Scared Straight" and tell me if you think that prison is easy.
