This isn't a bad idea tbh. They do it at the ghetto Walmart here, the laundry soap and good brand toothpaste and deodorant is all locked up. Stores should scan IDs for people shopping or refuse entry in areas of high crime/theft/assault/smash and grab. I don't know why jewelers don't lock their doors and only allow appointments.
This is a result of the problem, not a cause. We don't have empty prisons... Prisons are overcrowded.
Build more then. Sorry, there's a significant number of criminals that need to be locked up. This society is full of scumbags, and we need to lock them away for the betterment of everyone else doing the right thing and living life with respect for others and lawfully. They cleared a lot of the prisons due to COVID concerns. We're seeing the effects of releasing criminals back into society now.
Honestly it's nothing like it used to be. They really made a difference with law enforcement and monitoring what is being bought. Also they added regulations about selling. You must have a valid ID and you must be able to receive a check in many instances. Non Ferrous is a huge deal.
You can't compare our country to other countries in these terms. The societies are different. The demographics are different. The fact is, criminals should be locked up or punished. If you have 10 people, 3 of them are criminals and lock those 3 up, then the other 7 are living in a safer society.
And if one of the 7 do something wrong lock them up too. Eventually one guy has the keys and 9 are locked up. Does that make any sense?
The best way to clear up space in the prisons is to make the death penalty quicker and covering more crimes. Rapists and murderers should get put to death.
Yes you actually can. The problem is our shitty gini coefficient. We have too many poor and desperate people.
Who gets to choose exactly what crimes it covers? Hey I know lets let the southern Baptists make the laws? I'll bet the LBGT community would love that? Lets make being Gay punishable by death? Yes i know that is extreme but you get the point right?
But then they've moved on to more valuable metals. Hence the problem with cats. The metal is so valuable that you can break down the cats and sell the metals in small qty while still getting a pretty good payday. Just a couple mechanics could easily buy hundreds of cats per week and recycle them without raising any flags. We're just chasing our tails. None of these problems will be solved until we get serious about the real problems. And that can't happen voting for Biden or pretty much any Republican.
Sounds great until somebody says they saw you kill somebody. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wro...ople who,causes of their wrongful convictions. How many weren't so lucky?
