Thread: whats going on

John, while we do need to make sure we don't over correct, when people like Adrian Bailey are able to find themselves back on the streets, it's time for a change in the system.

About the only crimes that have increased in recent years are those where what has increased is almost certainly reporting not the frequency of crime itself, such as domestic violence and some sex crimes. What has increased is communications.

Mate, spot on, I have seen articles on this bloke before and I like what he is about. The legal system we have here in Australia is part of the problem, not the solution, as Mr Arpaio would say and I fully agree.

police bashing a confession out of a suspect never hurt anyone.

I highly doubt it. Remember people used to be put to death for crimes yet people still committed crimes.
Education is the only way, not punishment.
Punishment is after the fact. Education is before the fact.

There will ALWAYS be criminals!

As someone who has been taken out the back of St Albans cop shop and beaten by at the time a Seargent and a D i can tell ya that aint true.
They tried to get a confession out of me, yet had to drop the charges on the day of court.
Thus the beating you suggest never hurt anyone did infact hurt someone.
ME!

Cops have no right to bash someone ever!
That is ASSAULT and illegal under out laws.

Answer is simple. Private companies run most of the prisons and make sure to have quality prisons available for as many inmates as possible.
Its a business! They never spend more than they receive.
Its basically a big scam. Put people in prison over petty crap like possession charges and the fat cats get paid.

Dont get me started on how many people are in prisons in Australia that are infact not guilty.
