Vigilante Justice
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
You don't hear about vigilantes much anymore. When you do,
|
|
you get to read a full page about how the police are trying to track
|
|
down the rogue figure, and stop him from taking the law into his own
|
|
hands. Even in cases where the vigilante is more effecient, and does
|
|
the job right, he is always tracked down, and his capture is put
|
|
in front of the criminals that he is removing from society.
|
|
|
|
When you think about it, and read about past cases, you will
|
|
find that the ability to punish criminals without having to deal
|
|
with laws, paperwork, or office procedures, a law keeper becomes much
|
|
more efficient in his work. When I say 'law keeper', that means
|
|
either the legitimate police, or a vigalante. Instead of having a
|
|
single person working on a case, gathering evidence for a trial, filling
|
|
out paperwork, etc, he has the ability to go straight to the criminal
|
|
and act as the judge, jury, and executioner.
|
|
|
|
The big debate comes in whether or not the average citizen
|
|
should have or take that ability. Police officers go through years of
|
|
training to do what they do, while a vigilante may skip that, purchase
|
|
a handgun, and kill someone he catches doing wrong. What gives that
|
|
person the right? Nothing. That is why police worry more about catching
|
|
the vigilante and forgetting about the real criminals.
|
|
|
|
Given today's society and the direction it is heading, you have
|
|
to wonder if it is such a bad idea. Not so much the idea of a vigilante,
|
|
but the ability to skip through the paperwork and procedures, and just
|
|
worry about catching the bad guys. The only movie I know that implements
|
|
this idea is _Judge Dredd_ (which wasn't that good), but showed how that
|
|
kind of a system would work, and the potential of it. If a single police
|
|
officer has the ability to track, capture, judge, and execute, the law
|
|
enforcers become much more powerful, and much more deadly.
|
|
|
|
For argument's sake, lets say the police had that power, the
|
|
primary concern becomes if the officer will abuse that power. Will s/he?
|
|
Yes. How do I know? A decent percentage abuse the power they are given
|
|
right now. What is to stop them from abusing the power if we give them
|
|
more? Stiffer punishment. Since the officer would have the ability to
|
|
enforce stiffer penalties, s/he would be subject to the same stiffer
|
|
set of laws. No more small fines for parking illegally, after the third
|
|
or fourth, they impound your car for a month. After the fifth or sixth time,
|
|
they impound it for three months.
|
|
|
|
In this scenario, every crime would have a stiffer punishment
|
|
to help deter crime. Once people realized that they had no means of getting
|
|
out of the crime via common methods (messed up paperwork, officer not
|
|
showing, etc), they will be a little more careful of which crimes they
|
|
break.
|
|
|
|
The only way to ensure purity among the officers would be to
|
|
institute new measures of tracking them. Bullets issued to the officers
|
|
would be ID'd in such a way that any recovered bullet could be tracked
|
|
back to the gun that shot it. More cameras on the police transportation
|
|
along with a microphone on the officer would help ensure honest judgements.
|
|
The recorded material from camera and microphone would be broadcast
|
|
directly back to internal affairs who would monitor the officers.
|
|
|
|
If a citizen ever felt wrongly convicted or punished for a crime,
|
|
they could put a petition in at Internal Affairs, and a full investigation
|
|
would ensue. The system would be very difficult to implement, but once in
|
|
place would be a very effective deterent. The idea of running into a bad
|
|
cop alone would deter a lot of the criminals. Knowing you could be without
|
|
your car for three months would deter illegal parking.
|
|
|
|
So vigilante justice is not the answer, and a total police state
|
|
isn't the answer. Something in between, but monitored strictly is the only
|
|
way it could happen. I personally don't think it could work, but it is
|
|
an intriguing idea. Parts of it would be a great value to society, while
|
|
other parts of this plan would put us worse off as far as the government
|
|
monitoring our lives.
|
|
|
|
Who knows.. maybe that is where it will go in the future.. when
|
|
we have no say over the matter.
