okay, i'm new to this and like i said it is an interesting topic
so to stir the sand a bit i'll be more forceful
THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK AND IF YOU TAKE OFFENCE, PLEASE LET ME BE THE LAST TO KNOW (and preferably after i'm dead)
you were caught for breaking a law and should pay the full penalty - it is not for the transgressor to decide what penalty may or may not be appropriate
the ticket dodging services are indicative of a flaw in society, getting away with cheating a faceless entity like the tax man or a traffic fine is considered a success, so why shouldn't i try get away with a minimal and cushy sentence for murder. its only the scale of the offence we are talking about, the mechanism is the same
as for the original question as to how to change the justice system, it should be acknowledged to be flawed but it is also in a continual state of evolution. i support capital punishment yet the stephen truscott case is an absolute arguement against such power being wielded by the state. i've been unlucky enough to have been on both sides of the bars and my experience is that the inside is decidely more unpleasant, cable tv notwithstanding.
