Not a cop, but having admissible video evidence is awesome. You may catch a cop doing something wrong. Maybe. But more often you'll get "state's exhibit a". My only concern is impact on witness statements. But we've discussed how to mitigate that.

I had to step away. We're now discussing with straight faces that a 25 year sentence is too long for shooting someone during an armed robbery. So now intentional felonies= people who made a mistake and deserve compassion. Cops and prosecutors = literally hitler.

You have to realize that the people youre arguing with have probably never suffered any real hardship in their lives. Across 25 years away from their dais of shitposting is cruel and unusual.

I think that 25 years (or more, depending) is a reasonable sentence for shooting somebody during an armed robbery, but there are a lot of countries with much more lenient sentencing than the US and they're doing just fine, if not better than we are. This heist in Norway resulted in a massive shootout and a murdered police officer and everybody involved still received sentences under 25 years. I don't agree with it but It's not an unheard of, outrageous position to take.

You do realize that most prisoners only serve a fraction of their actual sentence, right?

goatsestretchgoals
Jun 4, 2011

And that might be part of the problem. When most people hear 25 years, they think the person is going to be in prison for 25 years. If most prisoners only serve a fraction of their actual sentence, maybe sentences in general need to come down to reflect the reality of our justice system. Instead of getting sentenced to 25 years and getting out in 9, maybe sentence them to 10 and out in 9?

Because lengthy parole/probation periods help rehabilitation efforts.

DrakeriderCa

But I'm a real cowboy!
Edit: ^^^ yeah, that too. When someone serves 10 out of 25 years in custody, they're still on parole for the remaining 15 years up here, which is a big determinant of recidivism. Not perfect but very helpful.

I think the problem with that is the sentencing provides a significant incentive to behave while in prison, since (up here anyways) correctional charges can't increase a sentence. Obviously new criminal charges for assaults etc can increase jail time, but having a longer sentence on paper gives Corrections more ability to impact behaviour behind bars.

Obviously it doesn't work perfectly since our jails are still terrible, but I'd argue that without it, they'd be much worse.

So what? You do realize that that's also the case in Norway, right? As well as many (maybe most?) 1st world nations, right? US prison sentences, as given and as served, are considerably longer than the sentences of our national 'peers.' Suggesting that US prison sentencing be more on par with the sentencing in other nations isn't an outrageous position to take. There's an argument to be made against it, sure, but it's unfair and wrong to pretend that it's a position occupied solely by the loony fringe.

Not to turn this into gently caress the police thread 2.0, but what in your opinion is an appropriate prison term for intentionally taking the life of another person?

I'm not even arguing what the sentencing should be, just your characterization of the other side as somehow unreasonable because they prefer a model with more lenient sentencing. You said, "We're now discussing with straight faces that a 25 year sentence is too long for shooting someone during an armed robbery." I'm saying that many smart, thoughtful people have had that discussion, straight faced, and decided that it was reasonable. It's not an outrageous position to take.
