4. Criminal Justice
Law Enforcement Capital Punishment
After completing their 2 years of
military service, those who are
interested may choose to
complete a 2 year “police
academy” program and may
become law officials.
The death penalty will replace
life sentences in the jails to free
space and save money. However,
highly preventative actions will
be taken to prevent innocent
people from this fate. (i.e., case
reviews by multiple officials,
etc.)
5. Prison System
All incoming prisoners charged with a felony must be thoroughly
evaluated by an on-site psychologist and must meet with a therapist
biweekly until the therapist approves a case appeal.
If friction occurs between a therapist and a prisoner, certain
arrangements would be made.
All incoming prisoners serving time for a misdemeanor may undergo the
same treatment, depending on severity crime and criminal history.
Otherwise, extensive community service and monthly appointments with a
therapist (at offender’s expense) will both be a mandatory part of the
punishment.
Probation for criminal offenses will also include community service and
monthly counseling sessions (at offender’s expense) until rehabilitation is
verified by the offender’s therapist.
Criminal Justice (continued)
6. Individual Rights Equalities
Sexuality Race
All marriages will be legalized through
the court system. Any personal
religious ceremonies are of no concern
to the government. Therefore, same-
sex marriage will be legal.
Adoption will be legal for any
qualifying member of society; despite
sexuality, religion, or race.
Sexuality discrimination will be a
crime.
Public places will be open to all.
No application may be denied
because of sexuality. (i.e. housing
applications, job, school, loans, etc.)
Racial discrimination will be
a crime.
Public places will be open to
all.
No application may be
denied because of race.
7. Individual Rights Equalities (ontinued)
Religion Gender
The people will be free to
practice any religion they
choose, as long as it does not
interfere with others’
freedoms. (i.e., no sacrifices)
Religious persecution will be
a crime.
Gender discrimination will be
a crime.
Public places will be open to
all.
No application may be
denied because of gender.
8. Individual Rights Freedoms
ALL measures will be taken to prevent abortion.
For example, an informational session where other options are
discussed, but fear is not the prevalent factor in dissuading the
women.
However, it will be legal for those over the age of 18 to get a MEDICAL
ABORTION. Surgical abortions will not be legal.
Abortion
9. Individual Rights Freedoms (continued)
Drugs/Alcohol
Drugs and alcohol will be legalized for people over 18 who pass a government course.
Once a citizen turns 18, they can take a free course from the government on the effects of
each drug. They must pass the test given at completion of the course, and pay for a
permit (with a photo) that allows them to purchase drugs/alcohol.
Providing drugs/alcohol to someone who has not successfully completed the course will
be a crime. Repeated offenses will result in a revoked drug/alcohol license. Undergoing
probation as well as an extensive rehabilitation/re-education program (at their expense)
would reinstate the permit.
Driving under the influence will be illegal. Repeated offenses will result in suspension of
license and special tags to be placed on any and all vehicles under the offender’s name.
These tags would allow law enforcement to pull over and test the driver for inebriation at
any given time, whether the driver is showing signs of intoxication or not. Successfully
completing all probation and rehabilitation programs, and a full five years of sobriety
would result in the removal of the plate. Driving under the influence at any point after
receiving plates will result in automatic imprisonment.
10. Individual Rights Freedoms (continued)
Gun Control
Owning any type of gun will be legal for people over 18 who pass a government test. Once
you turn 18, you can take a free course from the government on gun control. You must
pass the test given at completion of the course, and pay for a photo permit that allows you
to purchase them. An expiration date (3 years) will be on the permit. (During the class, a
vision/psychiatric examination will be done) If you fail the test, you may take it again at
your own expense.
After completing the course to own a gun, you will need to pass a separate course for
conceal and carry. Both of these courses/tests will be provided at the same place, and
consecutively for those who choose to take this course. The first test is free, but you still
have to pay for one photo permit that allows you to own AND conceal and carry. An
expiration date (3 years) will be on the permit. You must provide documentation that you
have satisfactory sight/mental state to renew your permit.
There will be a 30-day waiting period to purchase firearms. During this time the criminal
and mental history of the applicant will be looked over.
11. Education/Labor
Education Labor
It will be required for students to
successfully complete grades K-8,
mastering all skills up to that level. After
completing grade 8, students may either
be admitted into high school, or into a
vocational school that focuses on fully
preparing the student for the workplace.
Sufficient government aid will be
instated to provide adequate learning
environments.
At the University level, only major work
will be required, and elective classes will
be offered for the student to take.
Each separate occupation will
have the same starting salary
and have set pay raises and
incentives. This would reduce
the controversy over pay
inequality.
12. Welfare Programs
• A eligible family would be one where the sole source of income has a
disability that interferes with maintaining a job, the combined
household income is below poverty level, the income is not sufficient
to support all in the household, etc.
• Those who receive welfare must complete a minimum of 8 hours of
community service a month.
• The regulation and investigation to be eligible for welfare will be
constant and extensive. Fraud will be a federal offense.
• Healthcare will be provided for those who qualify, but will not be
mandatory for all.
