... your way after paying the fine. If the judge is kind, and offers a traffic school option, the unpleasantness continues. Usually the traffic school is no where near to the courthouse, which causes you to search to find the it. The great experience of paying is close at hand after locating the school. You must endure the nine hour course after paying for the privilege of attending. This is a class most people would have never taken if given the chance. The unpleasantness associated with a speeding ticket is almost finished when you have completed the course. A reoccurring reminder of a previous mistake is evident in higher insurance rates. Most insurance companies feel that speeding ticket ...

... always been a religious punishment and is reconcilable with humanism." In other words, society has long since left behind the archaic and barbous" customs" from the cruel "eye for an eye" anti-human caves of religion- another factor that should raise immediate misgivings for freethinkers. State killings are morally bankrupt. Why do governments kill people to show other people that killing people is wrong? Humanity becomes associated with murderers when it replicate their deeds. Would society allow rape as the penalty for rape or the burning of arsonists' homes as the penalty for arson? The state should never have the power to murder its subjects. To give the state this po ...

... because it is not practical to secure a search warrant when there is probable cause to believe that contraband goods are in an automobile. Such things as automobiles and boats can quickly be moved away before an officer can secure a warrant. New Jersey Courts also recognize that an automobile exception is required because the need of a search warrant is often unforeseeable when an automobile is inherently mobile. Carroll v. United States, 267, U.S. 132, 45 S.Ct. 250, 69 L.Ed. 543 (1925). The Courts seem to realize that if law enforcement officers were required to serve a warrant each time they believed that someone had something illegal in their automobile, prosecution of that perso ...

... was ruled constitutional again in 1976, the rate of executions per year has risen tremendously fast, especially in the last few years. There were no more than 30 executions nationwide in a single year until 1992, and that number jumped up to 74 in 1997 (“Execution” n.pag.). These 74 executions in the 38 states in which capital punishment is legal are the most in any one year since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976 (Lane n.pag.). So far in 1998, there have been 62 executions throughout the United States (“Execution” n.pag.). A recent poll showed that 74% of Americans strongly support capital punishment for the crime of murder (Pooley n.pag.). The death penalty is now such a popul ...

... the example of a casual, responsible drug user who is a contributing (or non-detracting) member of society, it is clear that more harm is done to others if the user must resort to illegal methods to obtain his drugs. The very act of buying drugs is intrinsically illegal and carries the threat of establishing a criminal record for the buyer. This can have a devastating effect on his family, his lifestyle, and his career. The effects on society as a whole include more crowded jail cells (prompting politicians to demand more jails be built), higher taxes to support these jails, and the loss, or at least diminution, of a productive citizen. In order to buy drugs illegally, the user may be ...

These crimes, even today, are still viewed as violent and should be punished with the highest degree of discipline available to achieve justice. After much public pressure, was suspended on a trial run in 1967. This proved to be ineffective, because even though the law stipulated that crime such as treason or the murders of law enforcement agents were still to be subjected to the death penalty. The federal cabinet continued to commute those criminals from death to life sentences, hence the law was not being followed and justice was not being served. This soon was followed with 's abolishment in 1976, a ...

... playing with, some say it is accessibility to guns and liquor. Who can you blame? What your child learns at a young age affects them as a teen or young adult. The only person you can blame much is to say it is yourself. What you teach your child, how much love and care you give it can affect them as adults and teens to a certain extend. The community you live also can affect your teen. Just in Saturdays, newspaper it talks about a liquor store catered to Bergen teens. What happens when the store does not give the teen liquor anymore? The teenager goes in the store to rob it and bang an accident happens, the whole incident goes in as a homicide. Who is to blame? Why did it have to happen? ...

... the world and unless the government of Russian, Germany, Great Britain, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and all others pass those kind of lows the pornography won't be stopped. Also I don't believe that pornography does as much harm as most people think. There are still a lot of movies out there with sexual scenes in them, and there are all those magazines, which are all over most of the grocery stores. So the Internet is not the only source of the pornography, even though it is the easiest to access one. Also the problem, or maybe the good of the Internet is that it is very hard to see the difference between the adult person and the child. Most of the porn sites make it so that the users comin ...

... writers, musicians, activists, lawyers, inventors, working people, etc. Q. How Long Have People Been Using Marijuana? A. Marijuana has been used since ancient times.4 While field hands and working people have often smoked the raw plant, aristocrats historically prefer hashish5 made from the cured flowers of the plant. It was not seen as a problem until a calculated disinformation campaign was launched in the 1930s,6 and the first American laws against using it were passed.7 Q. Is Marijuana Addictive? A. No, it is not.8 Most users are moderate consumers who smoke it socially to relax. We now know that 10% of our population have "addictive personalities" and they are neith ...
