And they should pay for their mistakes, but people dont want to do this because there is someone in their ear saying "I can get you off this because I know how the legal system works, and now you dont have to pay for your mistakes, and your the victom of a injust legal system".

Saying that rubbish about the more police and bigger jails is a cop out that always get vomited out.

With less idiots making stupid mistakes on the road we would need less police-less hospital beds-less grave diggers.

Face it, its easier for them to not accept responceability for their actions than to accept them.

But then thats why we have lawyers, mostly.

it's the responsibility of the person at fault.

(sorry, that was just getting on my nerves..) but yay for points back!!

With all due respect, mir, your view is one typical of someone who has had little/ no experience dealing with people who become embroiled in our criminal justice system.

Sure, our legal system is far from perfect, but without it we would be in alot of trouble.

I sincerely hope that you never find yourself in serious trouble as a result of having made an error of judgment; but if you do, i trust that the courts will extend to you the leniency which you are entitled.

Ive never had problems with the law, that was a typical uneducated assumption matey, unfortunally Ive spent more time expaining my actions than I care to admit, but, I have accepted my punishment which has been deamed fitting, learned from it and moved on.

I hope you never have someone take the life of someone you love and get off scott free because of some loop hole in the law.

Doing wrong is doing wrong, accept what youve done, take your punishment like a adult and learn from it, you will be a better person.

Also forgive my spelling, Ive never been big on that side of things.

What I believe Yeedogga is trying to point out is that we live in a democracy. We don't over punish crimes (like sending someone to a distant colony to live the remander of there sentance as a slave for stealing a loaf of bread).

The whole concept on Section 10 makes it easier for police where they can push the matter further and quicker because they know the person can use Section 10. It also would give majority of the people shock of going through the justice system so that they aren't repeat offenders with no hope. And as it's been said in earlier posts, Section 10 can ONLY be used if the courts allow it. You can't use it if you run someone over obviously, it's only for smaller charges. You need to ask the judge you wish to use it and the judge has to allow it, if it isn't allowed then everything goes on as it would normally. Therefore there is no 'loophole' per say, it may not be perfect but its a part of a democracy.

Just a counter-point for you to think about. It's a privilage, not a right.

You are not being sent to a colony, you are being fined and/or losing points because you broke the law.
