1. RELEASING KILLERS AND RAPIST BECAUSE THEY WEREN’T ADVISED
OF THEIR RIGHTS.
Do you think a
supreme court that could constitutionally justify
segregation would be able to come up with a really good
argument to keep them in jail if these killers and rapists
were released in their neighborhood? We are the only country
that releases known killers for not giving them notice of
their rights. Seems a little out of balance that if someone
murders someone they are forgiven because they weren’t told
they were entitled to a lawyer. This is something they
probably knew anyway. Can’t we come up with some other way
to make it up to the killer? How about a free subscription
to the daily record?
2. VICTIMLESS CRIMES.
Drugs or
Prostitution? For god’s sake why haven’t we figured this one
out yet? The money, time, and resources spent on this is
absurd. Police love to pursue these types of crimes
especially the sex ones. I can assure you its fun for them;
you think they do this because they are outraged or offended
by sex. Getting paid for going undercover to have sex with
masseuses, strippers, or prostitutes is most men’s fantasy
job. They actually have married cops doing this at times.
Hello…..????
Drug crimes are among the most unfair and
counter-productive. Any person with money and brains can
find a doctor who can be manipulated to prescribe drugs for
recreation. We hear about big names abusing in this way all
the time but it goes on everywhere in a less public way.
We make heroes out of drug dealers in their neighborhood and
divert otherwise entrepreneurial type individuals into
dealers that the kids look up to. The dealers have the money
and the best looking women, which it is all about anyway...
3. CRIMINALIZING INTERNET VIEWINGS.
I’m no fan of
perverts and child molesters and defending them is not one
of my priorities but putting otherwise productive perverts
in jail for multiple years because they looked at an
underage perverted act makes no sense. Sure you can argue
that they are making the activity in demand and therefore
contributing to it. You could also make that argument about
every disgusting activity on the internet and there are
many. It is possible that by viewing this on the internet
many perverts can relieve their revolting activities without
engaging a real life victim. Let’s not forget that there’s a
good chance they were molested as a child themselves. As
long as they’re not acting out, let’s just leave them alone.
It’s a big waste of resources and another diversion we don’t
have time for.
4. GETTING VICTIMIZED TWICE.
If you are in an
accident where you are merely a bystander and can’t prove
who was at fault, you can’t recover. An example would be
where you were sleeping as a passenger and involved in a
serious accident at a light controlled intersection. There
are no witnesses and both drivers claim the other had the
red light. You may never get the trial to jury and if you
do, you might still not be compensated.
You think you’re covered with “full coverage” auto
insurance” from every type of accident. A deer runs in front
of your vehicle and you are seriously injured. Guess what?
You have no place to go! If a car did the same and took off,
you’re covered, but if it is a horse or wagon, you’re not!
5. LOOSING YOUR HOUSE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE YOUR DEED
TITLED A CERTAIN WAY.
This typically
occurs to the most vulnerable and hard working individuals
who scrape to get their house payments up to date. At last,
finally they own their own home. Then tragedy strikes. They
end up in a nursing home and Medicare runs out, which takes
about three months. They then become personally responsible
for the charges. The next coverage available is medical
assistance, which won’t kick in until they are totally
broke. This then means they take the house. By titling the
house a certain way, they can remain in the house and still
be able to sell it or leave it to their kids. There are many
other advantages to titling your property the correct way.
Note: this must done way before you go to the nursing home.
6. THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.
A little Supreme
Court creative justification might work. How about
regulating ammunition? If that doesn’t work, think of
something else. Allowing people to carry guns is just plain
stupid. Amend the constitution, do a little legal
gymnastics, and come up with something. The constitution
isn’t the Ten Commandments.
7. ALLOWING INSURANCE COMPANIES TO PAY REPLACEMENT COST
ONLY.
This is another
one of those disclaimers that hit the less educated and
lower income the most. They get taken advantage of when
buying a car because of poor credit, they typically overpay
at an extremely high interest rate. Their car gets totaled
and the insurance company only pays a replacement cost to
the finance company, typically leaving a steep balance that
the victim is still responsible for. It is easy to imagine
the many victims who could not afford another car. They
couldn’t get back to work and later lost their job.
8. ALLOWING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO COMPETE FOR BUSINESSES.
Why is this allowed? Who wins …only big business. The
governments are forced to compete with one another for tax
breaks, concessions and contributions. The ones who get the
most benefits are the political savvy and politicians who
can help. It’s corruptive and totally unfair. Allowing this
seems as silly as allowing super rich individuals to
negotiate tax rates for the benefits the government get when
a rich person moves into a neighborhood.
9. FORCING LAWYERS TO BE BLIND TO RACE WHEN PICKING JURIES.
Give me a break!
The result of this is the spectacle of lawyers doing mental
gymnastics trying to justify the strike for some other
reason. Every real trial lawyer knows you want the jury to
identify with your client, be it the job he does, the
religion he practices, his weight, the way he dresses, or
his age. What could be more important than the experiences
he shared with someone of his race? Do I need to say more
than O.J? It’s a noble gesture but flies in the face of
reality. Let’s try to get real.
10. GENERAL ELECTIONS FOR JUDGES.
What does the
general public know about the judges they vote for? Lawyers
should be the only people allowed to vote for judges. This
would both clean up the process and also in return generate
some respect from the judges to the lawyers.
