jail for six months? Okay, if you pay for it and, I mean all of the
costs associated with that prisoner. What do you think putting
someone in jail for six months for littering is going to accomplish?
Other than costing me and other tax payers more money for a system
that doesn't work, and, giving them a criminal record that will make
their ability to be a productive member of society that much more
difficult. Seems counter productive to me.
Send someone in as a litter bug, they'll come out with a masters
degree in other aspects of crime. litter bug was annoying enough. A
large fine should do the trick, WITHOUT costing me as a tax payer
more money! I don't wanna house em, feed em, clothe em for six months
on my dime because they're a litter bug. They can pay big fines and
work for a living, instead of my supporting them in jail.
That's assuming we have room to house them in the first place. I'm
not okay with letting violent criminals out to let them in. Even if
it is to teach them a lesson. taking a large amount of money from
them will actually teach a lesson without costing me and other tax
payers. It's a win win. I'm not okay with wasting my money to put a
pothead in jail either. Unless said pothead was toaking while driving
or something else that places OTHERS IN HARMS WAY. If that's not what
he's doing, I don't wanna pay for his three squares a day either. I
don't wanna let some wife beating asshole out to make room for the
pothead or the litter bug, either. They can work, Pay a nice large
fine. Win win.
