The problem today I think is that the courts are in the business of making money and that directly puts them in conclift with what they were design for; administering justice.

So it is more cost effective for a cop to sight someone with money for speeding then it is to bust a drug house where they will have to PAY to have it cleaned up.

If the courts are in the business of making a profit, then justice is no longer blind and it all comes down to the mighty buck.

How much justice are you willing to pay for. In this case none. It is not my job to bust the drug house, all I can do is keep reporting it, and do what I can within the law to protect my stuff from theft.

Today I put up four signs along the road, they all read; This property is monitored by survlance video.

I wonder if that will have an effect.

WEll, AT, I see it from the other angle. Most of our offenders violate because they either can't make their payments, or in some cases, refuse to make their payments. So the judges can impose all of the court payments and restitution payments they want to, but if the offender isn't paying, then no one is making money. And sometimes, the judge will dismiss the person's probation, while teh scumbag may still owe thousands of dollars yet! Sometimes they'll impose a lien, but not always. So it's not always a profit making business like you think it is.
