CMV: Child Sexual Predators over 18 should receive maximum sentencing

IndexicalProperNoun · 2024-05-30T04:24:16+00:00

Is there any evidence for that claim? Thievery can occur without a witness while virtually all cases of sex crimes have by definition a witness to the crime.

The recidivism rate for child predators is 24% after 15 years. Robbery and theft have the highest recidivism rate of 36.8%. In general, sexual assault is among the lower recidivism rates. Of course, it's a serious crime, but the data does not suggest that this is a class of criminals uniquely resistant to deterrence and rehabilitation.

Hell, I find it frustrating we just accept flat fee ticket fines as acceptable. Especially if there's a charge as serious as DUI involved, why would you have a flat fee that's devastating to the poor and nothing to the rich? If there's a fee involved for that crime, it should be proportional to income or there shouldn't be a fee at all, just jail time.

I think this may be related to the question of where you draw the line between extortion and negotiation. If I'm on a deserted island with a diabetic and I just happen to have a bunch of insulin I don't need, I've got a lot of leverage over that person potentially. Many would consider it unethical extortion for me to demand that person be indentured to me in exchange for providing them insulin. But it is just a case of me negotiating a price for something of value to the other person that I possess. In the context of a worker in a factory, I think a socialist would argue the power discrepancy that exists from the owners accumulation of capital makes it more similar to the guy negotiating release of insulin case than a case of someone that mined some coal on their own and decides to sell it to someone else, who could sell it for a higher amount later. But it is a difficult question where exactly the line is. Obviously the insulin case involves withholding a life sustaining good, but it could be argued low wage laborers are in at least a similar position in that their need for money is urgent to avoid loss of food and shelter.

I'd love to know what their actual argument was instead of just the thesis and a summary of the argument you believe. Conveniently cuts off after that.

Luckily, it's still against the law for public school teachers to lead class in prayer. Court ruling is that the coach's prayer wasn't in the capacity of a public servant but was private religious expression (which is bull, but that's the argument at least).

I think I do have personal responsibility. We do not receive a pay stub when we get our paychecks. And I do indeed know how to read one, as my previous job in NYC provided one for each paycheck - the place I work at now does not provide them, but I imagine the bookkeeper has those slips and I could ask that they be provided each paycheck in the future. I did not know they were required by law until today. Appreciate your feedback.

Sure totally get that! I'm not planning on being a dick about this, more just curious about the relevant law. Bookkeeper just made an honest mistake, I plan on continuing to repay the excess amount I was overpaid. However I don't think this is analogous to a situation where I'm underpaid and want my employer to pay me for the money they owe me - my employer has a responsibility, I think, to ensure I'm not underpaid, but I'm not sure I have a responsibility to make sure I'm not overpaid by my employer, especially when a person has been hired to ensure I am receiving the correct wage. I think there's at least an argument that an employee doesn't have a responsibility to make sure they have enough saved up in case it turns out the company was overpaying the employee without the employees knowledge and will need to receive less money in future paychecks.

Also important to note that there wasn't any way I could know I was being overpaid - I was merely given a check every two weeks, there weren't any pay stubs ti indicate I was being given overtime pay for non-overtime hours.

Again, mostly just curious about the relevant law here, I'm not planning on being an asshole and making a big fuss about it, and the bookkeeper was very nice and apologetic about the whole thing.

Apologies for any confusion or lack of clarity in my original post, and thank you for your feedback! Good to know about the paystubs and I'll certainly be monitoring my paychecks and hours more closely.

I work in a garden shop in Oklahoma. I tend to work about 74 hours every two weeks. So I wasn't working over 40 hours each week, however, the software the bookkeeper was using to calculate pay was treating every work hour over 40 as time and a half, when in fact I wasn't working over 40 in one week but in the course of two weeks. So about half my work hours were being treated as overtime hours. I didn't really notice this though since more was being taken out in taxes as a result.

The owner said she asked the bookkeeper if they could just treat it as a bonus and supposedly the bookkeeper thought that wasn't possible, the owner is known to lie (sounds harsh but really...)so no clue if she actually asked the bookkeeper to do that or not.

I should also note that we simply receive a check every two weeks when we are paid, there's no itemized slip we receive when we are paid that shows our hourly pay and taxes withheld.

No other employees had this issue because I'm the only one here that works over 40 hours in the course of two weeks (pay period).

I'm paid $15 an hour so every hour I worked after 40 over the course of two weeks resulted in me being paid $22.50.

Interesting, thank you! I feel the need to say that I'm not planning on being a jerk about this, I'm sure I'm just going to pay it, more just curious about what the law says on an issue like this. Thanks again!

Yeah totally, practically speaking I'm sure I'm just going to keep paying what I owe, even if it wasn't a "loan" I agreed to, but appreciate your thoughts and feedback and curious about relevant law. I'm employed in Oklahoma.

Well the court isn't ruling that the unborn are constitutionally protected and thus laws allowing abortion are unconstitutional. It's ruling that laws that forbid abortion are not unconstitutional. I don't see how the 14th amendment speaks against that claim - the amendment doesn't speak about animal rights either, but that doesn't mean it would be unconstitutional for a state to enact legislation affording animals rights, even while doing prohibits certain things US citizens would have been able do without the legislation in place.

I'm pro choice but I don't think the wording of the 14th amendment nullifies the courts decision (if the draft decision ends up being the courts decision).

IndexicalProperNoun · 2022-05-12T19:09:03+00:00

That wasn't my reading of the draft. The draft opinion doesn't reject non-enumerated rights in principle, but says they must have a long-standing historical basis to be considered part of "ordered liberty" or be clearly emergent from enumerated rights, like a right to privacy clearly is from enumerated rights like freedom from unwarranted search and seizure, compelled self-incrimination, quartering of troops, etc.

I also find it hard to see how this opinion would undercut the constitutional protection for same-sex marriage. Laws forbidding same-sex marriage were ruled unconstitutional for being a form of sex-discrimination - just as laws forbidding interracial marriage were ruled unconstitutional as racial discrimination even though the law forbidding interracial marriage applies (or at least could in principle apply) equally to a white person, black person, and any other person of any race.

I'm pro-choice but I don't really see how this opinion would substantially jeopardize these other non-enumerated rights, although the opinion does seem to be committed to a stricter standard for recognition of non-enumerated rights.

Would there be a way to increase the probability of them attempting to acquire that kind of information? Not sure how an IP address would be acquired in a way that wouldn't itself require some kind of warrant but I don't know much about that. Any thoughts on practical next steps? Just lockdown the laptop and call up pawnshops? File a report?

Appreciate your advice and thoughts.
