New Louisiana Law

If the perps were punished instead of given a get-out-of-jail-free-card, we would not have this problem. Since there are essentially NO consequences, there is nothing to stop the crooks.

Taking 3 years to prosecute a petty theft encourages more theft. Turning a blind eye encourages more theft. And all the paperwork in the world will never change that as long as there are no consequences to bad actions.

I DETEST Sharia law, but it DOES reduce theft to a minimum, WITHOUT the incredible cost of tracking every transaction. I would NEVER advocate Sharia law simply because it is too extreme, but we DO need to punish the perps and quit punishing the innocents. Until that happens, this problem will never go away.

Consider this:




If everyone followed that standard, there would be NO paperwork to track transactions, and every security company would go out of business. Think of the incredible waste of time and money that we are allowing to happen, and oftentimes encouraging.

Cops serve to write reports after something happens. They rarely "prevent" crime.

When money is tight and they don't have enuf cops, the first reports that go are property crimes. Why? Like fender benders, it's just "stuff". Send your own report to the insurance co, get money from them to buy new "stuff", and you don't need cops.
