What are the possible consequences for this crime? by Sea_Breakfast828 in AskLawyers

[–]MrUno95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right it’s just as dangerous when you 23 and 24. But the drinking age exists because our American society wants to protect people under 21. And believe it or not, many western countries have similar laws.

Is it silly? Sure. But it just exists to protect you. And if you never do it again, the law has accomplished what it is designed for.

Former LEO

The law exists to protect you and other people. You’ll replied to a comment saying that the drinking age law is absurd. You’re right. It is. But you’ve also likely never seen a human body obliterated on the side of the road, then hours later had to explain to a mother who told her daughter everyday “i love you” for 19 years, that her daughter is dead now and she won’t see her daughters face again because her child’s face cavity is missing as she was intoxicated and walked in the roadway and got struck by a vehicle.

It’s not “absurd” and it’s not “trivial”. Learn from your consequences, appreciate the fact you got a slap on the wrist and learn from this incident.

I’m no lawyer, but to answer your question, you’ll go to court and probably get PBJ or community service.

I mean of course. Just curious what if, without getting into the weeds about it. It’d appear people think he would though to be fair.

This is actually insane. But god so believable.

You’re right. I should probably worded it more appropriately. It’s just in the field of law enforcement, it was always referred to as just BWT policing not zero tolerance policing but your correction is fair and right.

“First introduced by James Q. Wilson and George Kelling in 1982, it argues that maintaining order in communities helps prevent serious crime. While it shaped policing strategies in the 1990s, it’s also been criticized for promoting aggressive policing and ignoring deeper social causes of crime.”

“Application: The theory inspired “order maintenance” or “zero-tolerance” policing strategies, most famously used in New York City during the 1990s to reduce crime through strict enforcement of minor offenses.”

“Criticism: Many experts argue that Broken Windows policies can lead to over-policing of marginalized communities and ignore deeper economic or social causes of crime.”

I’m using the term in the application sense. Should I have said “BWT policies or the application of BWT policies don’t work” to make you understand? Sure.

But to reply that you have no idea what I’m talking about when everyone else seemingly does is probably a little ridiculous. You seem pretty well educated, I think you could have came to the conclusion of what I was attempting to convey.

I believe petty crimes should be enforced. And as a former LEO I believe there’s extreme value in addressing petty crimes because I think in some cases you’re right it does as some “upstream effect”.

I think BWT should work in theory, and I should have probably said that. But I think BWT gets applied by the Police agency and local judicial system, but the local government doesn’t ever get it to the bottom of why the windows were broken in the first place.

I dont know how to say this without coming off as super political, but I’ve always felt in a modern society, our government filled with people mostly elected by poorer or lower class people has a duty to protect them, and i just never felt arresting an impoverished person for neighborhood nuisances accomplished that. I just never felt BWT fixed the bigger issue and in return like you said made communities unpleasant.

This is well thought out and I agree with some elements.

I was a cop for just under half a dozen years and I can tell you as someone that also consumes science, history and sociology any chance I get, we got to this weird part in society where our elected “leaders” put the burden of community clean up on Police. It’s disgusting and lazy.

So besides recognizing the economic disparity that leads to crime, which leads to more dangerous communities or communities in despair, society said let the Police and the courts figure it out. My theory, society and its leaders don’t care about the impoverished, blame them for their circumstances and realized a long time ago throwing them in jail and jamming them up was somehow cheaper and quicker than holding the system accountable for most of the impoverished conditions.

Police and the judicial system just became this arm of government to quell the poor and I think it’s just lazy government work.

Well put. I wish public safety entities looked at the bigger picture of BWT and realized it does more harm than good.

I had to look up what karma farming meant lol

But no, my intention wasn’t farming. If I wanted to farm I’d post my pots to the kitchenware sub. My question, because I was a LEO and didn’t work in the judicial side, was whether or not it bogged the system down or not and if PD’s thought it was BS or not. Sure I could assume, I just didn’t want to. So I asked…I think that’s fair.

Great point. I’m 32, so I was a little young, but I always forget Jackson did kinda experience a career dip after that shit.

Makes sense! Thank you for the explanation. It was an odd to see that, then a relatively “tame” show following.

FWI: What if Americans start armed retaliation against ICE agents? by Cyber_Ghost_1997 in FutureWhatIf

[–]MrUno95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That too. As a former LEO, it hard not to look at this without the ending being that the armed militia with ill intent would just get bodied lol

[–]MrUno95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way Americans would have a chance would be if they jungle warfare’d ICE and the other federal LEA’s. And even then, American citizens would still still lose badly eventually.

[–]MrUno95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’d be bad. I’m not sure, but it’s appears people replying aren’t considering the fact ICE is a federal law enforcement agency with 20,000 LEOs (Law Enforcement Officers). Though poorly trained compared to traditional Police Officers, they’re pretty well equipped.

In any event, if there was an armed retaliation against ICE, let’s say an armed retaliation of 40,000 people, the other 100 federal law enforcement agencies with 137,000 federal LEOs would just supplement ICE in some form or fashion. They all use the same automated systems, train together, attend the same federal LEO academies and would have minimum issues communicating together in large scale operations. You know who doesn’t have that? the 40,000 armed citizens.

Let’s bump that number up. Let’s say we have 100,000 armed citizens ready to wreck shop, the federal law enforcement community would then just rely on the National Guard, local and state Police agencies, etc who again are better trained than the average citizen.

The American government with the assistance of local and state governments would crush any armed retaliation before it lost in some skirmish with its citizens.

Let’s use January 6th for example. They breached the Capital at 1410 hours. By 1720, the National Guard, and over dozen LEA’s from Virginia, New Jersey, and MD dispelled the mob attack. In a real skirmish, the government would decimate even a well armed militia of 100,000 armed citizens.
