It’s not exactly a leap to say that the point of law is to deter crime. That’s what punishments like fines, jail time, and community service are for, and that is the basis of pretty much our entire justice system. You do the crime, you do the time — as often as needed. Yeah, this [...]
Look, I know what you’re going to say. It’s discipline! It’s how your pappy raised you and his pappy raised him and so on and so forth. What better way to instill respect and manners into a child than with fear of physical punishment? After all, it worked on you — you turned out just [...]
It is human nature to make mistakes. Being arrested for driving under the influence can be a frightening experience, and one that you immediately regret. Our justice system seeks to penalize those who break the law, and this goes for DUI offenses as well. This is how the legal system works. However, with proposed changes [...]
Everyone knows that if something has a rhyming title, it contains nothing but the truth (…the whole truth, so help you—) and should be listened to without question. …Okay, fine, not really, but this is still important and you should still listen, so take the rhyme and buckle up, pun absolutely intended. As we make [...]
Living as a victim of domestic violence is an emotional and distressing experience. Even when victims can escape their abusers, they can still be harassed (or worse) through online or electronic stalking. Pending legislation in the Maryland Senate aims to prevent abuse via electronic stalking; however, authorities are raising concerns that the new software required [...]
Yup, it sure is. While lying in any criminal case, in any circumstance, is a dangerous and largely illegal move, it’s even more of a big deal in something as big as a domestic assault case. Crimes relating to that sort of abuse are regarded as especially serious and horrific, and therefore all those who [...]
The need for speed can be swell indeed. Wind blowing through your hair, the adrenaline, the feeling of both power and danger in equal measure — going fast is fun! When we were kids, this high came in the form of races and go-carts, but we’ve got something a bit better now. Most of us [...]
It’s not too much to ask that police know what they’re talking about, right? Of course there are risks associated with their job, but surely they know the actual difference between fact and fiction — right? After all, they have the authority to put people behind bars and charge them with crimes, something that can [...]
The future is here, folks. We may not have flying cars and commercial teleportation, but the times are still a-changing at a rapid pace. Now, some cars can drive themselves (in theory)! Aside from sounding like something right out of science fiction, this new innovation is an exciting and welcome development for all people who, [...]
We’ve all made mistakes. Maybe we had too much fun one night, or just weren’t thinking, and we wind up with an arrest, maybe even a conviction. Great. This is a headache to begin with, but even more if you work somewhere that can punish you if you’ve been convicted with a crime. Don’t panic [...]
