Yea Steve! Laws always work! Perhaps if there were less cops running radar then people's personal property would be safer - but they have no incentive to protect property, because that doesn't bring in revenue....

Sentencing law was bumped up on burglary recently but may need to be bumped some more. This is the crime that pays the best, most consistently; and the people who do it rarely go straight; they go back to what they know best: burglary.

"More than 5,300 home burglaries in Memphis so far this year".... Can't be. We've been "told" that crime is DOWN!! If only the public was as stupid as your "leaders" want them to be......... If ANY individual invades my or my family's space, it WILL be the last time that individual does it; take the chance, pay the price.
