RE: The End of Criminalization: On Free Will, Accountability, and Compassion

in #philosophy8 years ago

Don't worry, the government is moving away from criminalization, so this problem will solve itself over time. Convicting people of crimes requires writing laws that say exactly what is prohibited, investigating, having at least a slightly fair trial, and proving things beyond a reasonable doubt. That's way too much trouble. Instead, we're moving to civil forfeiture and lists of people who are mere suspects that are used to deny them services. So this problem is already fixing itself. Yay.

Sort:  

civil forfeiture... nothing like realizing you have no rights because the government indicted your money instead of you.
