The Common Law Alternative To The Law Enforcement Growth Industry [The following article was written before the collapse of the Soviet Union. First, it compares the "legal systems" of America and the Soviet Union (specifically Poland). Second, the American "law enforcement growth industry" is described. (Note how the same things apply almost world-wide - not just to America!)
Third, a common law solution is proposed.]
America vs. Soviet Union
In trying to appraise this issue of law enforcement, courts, prisons, punishment, crime, rehabilitation, the death penalty, incarceration, and cruel and unusual punishment, much has been written and much more will be written. One point that all seem to agree upon is that crime in America is out of control and something must be done about it. We call this America, the land of the free, and refer to the Soviet Union as a police state, but the facts tell us another story. The facts show that this country holds more people per capita in jails than the Soviet Union. The Russians have one-third the number of people incarcerated than we do in America. In realty, citizens of America are living in a police state and are completely unaware of it. There is little difference between our government and the one in Poland. For example do people in Poland: - Have national identity cards?
- Drive without licenses?
- Work wherever they want to?
- Register their guns?
- Register their cars?
- Build on their land without government permits and/or approval?
- Have compulsory insurance laws?
- Have to show their picture (papers) upon demand?
- Have to take balloon tests without search warrants for alleged drunk driving?
- Take a portion of a worker's pay ["income taxes"] without trial or due process?
- Incarcerate citizens without trial in a summary processing?
- Have ports of entry that compel them to stop, clear, and pay duties?
- Subject to searches on their highways?
- Arbitrarily arrest citizens and forcibly take fingerprints?
- Trip permits to use their own roads?
- Permits to cut wood in a national forest?
It makes no difference how these questions are answered. Citizens of any country who are so constrained are not free, but living under tyranny. It matters not whether we have it better than the Poles. Both systems are tyrannical in nature - the only difference being the degree of tyranny being applied and the understanding of the system by the citizens. The Poles understand that they live in tyranny, while Americans have been convinced that it can't happen here, even though it has already come to pass. Americans recognize tyranny in other countries, but in their own refer to it as "law and order." However, a police state is a police state, is a police state...
The Law Enforcement Growth Industry
There must be a solution that is simple; one that will free us from this morass of crime and punishment. Any solution must quit punishing the innocent, and return to punishing the guilty. The current system does nothing more than spawn a system of recidivism, homosexual behavior, and prisons that are, in reality, schools for crime - not rehabilitation. Currently victims lose their property; criminals never make restitution to the damaged party but are deprived of freedom; and the taxpayers who are fleeced out of their tax dollars to fund these human warehouses. The beneficiaries of this system are public defenders, lawyers, judges, jailers, prison guards, law enforcement agencies, and political administrations. They literally thrive off of this morass of crime and punishment. Crime does pay, and it pays handsomely. What is worse is that not only does the victim lose by having his property stolen, but he loses even more through taxes to the "law enforcement growth industry" to warehouse the thief. Solutions to the crime problem must provide restitution for the victim, punish the wrong-doer, decrease the prison population, cut out the over-crowding of those prisons that cannot be emptied, eliminate involuntary capital punishment, make the judicial system self-supporting, and make the entire taxing cost for today's criminal justice system pay for itself in productive accomplishment instead of the incredible waste of manpower currently taking place in our "human warehouses." How many broken homes, welfare payments, divorces, fines, jail terms, and broken lives are inflicted upon the innocent, the poor, the defenseless, in the name of "law and order" for the benefit of the "law enforcement growth industry?" How many people derive their livelihood from the law enforcement growth industry? How many agencies are created by legislatures, city councils, and congress? http://www.mind-trek.com/articles/pct07a.htm
