Citizen Courts: a cheaper alternative to policing petty crime.

Published: Oct. 24, 2022, 9:01 a.m.

Are you tired of the high cost of justice? Justice is so expensive we cannot get justice for tagging, shoplifting, intimidation, and littering. In many cases we cannot even get justice for drug dealing and prostitution despite the impact it has on communities. We need highly paid, highly trained police officers to take down murderers, gangsters and so on. We do not need or want armed policemen dealing with teen age shoplifters or the ne’er-do-well’s kid dealing drugs at school. There is no need to pay for a $100,000.00 unit to sit in an alley waiting for a errant youth to deface a businesses loading dock. There is a cheaper and a better way for a community to mete out justice when dealing with petty crime.
