Body
Cameras
The state and federal governments
need to regulate body cameras on cops. We need a uniform national law that requires
every police department in America to issue body cameras and regulate when they
are turned on and off and that states that cops must inform people they are
recording when entering their home. Traffic ticket fines would pay for the equipment.
Nursing
Home Cameras:
We should make it possible for families
to be able to watch over their loved ones living in nursing homes by mandating
cameras be allowed inside rooms to monitor and have a record of care received.
DUI Laws:
Have a national mandate that says
that a person with a four time DUI conviction will have to blow into a
breathalyzer to start their car for as long as they drive. However we should
also allow offenders to apply for a limited permit if they prove they've
changed.
Underage Drinking:
Fix the law so that an underage
drinker who calls 911 for a friend during an emergency won't face criminal
charges. It would promote safety and I think it would be better overall in
ensuring people don't die in situations like that.
Pill Bottle Caps:
The nation is in the grip of an
opioid overdose epidemic. If a doctor prescribes a patient with opioid
medication, we should require that a new type of locking type of be placed on
the bottle and have a numerical locking device with a combination.
Animals and Pets:
If a person is convicted of
cruelty towards animals while a child is present they should face a very stiff
fine of at least $500 and 1000 hours of community service.
Schools:
All schools, public and private, must
have a concussion committee to help student athletes with concussions. The team
will be responsible for concussion education and recovery plans. It should be uniform
across the United States.
The “zero tolerance” policy for
bad behavior in schools doesn’t always make sense. You don’t punish a kid for
life for making a childish decision. The school administrator’s should be
required to exhaust every effort before taking a student out of school.
Rape
Eliminates the statute of
limitations for rape cases that covers only new offenses and isn’t applied retroactively.
Think Bill Cosby on this one.
and other stuff.....
and other stuff.....
Mail-in ballots should be able to
be dropped offed or mailed to any elections office in the state, not just in
the area where the ballot was issued.
We need to severely, drastically limit
law enforcement’s ability to seize private property under the policy of asset
forfeiture so that only a conviction will be required to hold the property. The
cops have abused this law way way way behind its intent.
Enough is enough. Motorists should
not be allowed to hold a wireless telephone or “electronic wireless
communication device” while driving. Instead, the device must be mounted in a
place “that does not obstruct the driver’s clear view of the road and does not
interfere with the deployment of an airbag.”
Children younger than 2 years old
must be required to ride in a rear-facing child passenger-safety seat. This is
only common sense but still…..
All single-toilet restrooms in
businesses and public buildings must be gender-neutral. Otherwise gender-neutral
toilets are an idiotic idea that will end up costing taxpayers billions in law
suits.
Tax the hell out of cigarettes
purchased.
