MODERATORS
Well yeah but all democracies have this enshrined in their laws one way or another. So it's not like something people don't already know.
Second is, make the government organization be bottom-up, democracy or not.

What is your plan to manage crime without limiting the rights of criminals?
Same thing as before, just dont block them from voting, serving jury duty, healthcare, jobs, etc after release, prison fees be damned.
You'll get life, most of it, or execution for murder, rape, significant theft, etc regardless.
Besides, limiting their rights creates more crime, as it locks away job opportunities that would help discourage stealing or killing plus gives them no incentive to work with police & government. If they move to crime again, lock em up again but for much longer. Not hard.
Does that work for you?
So not allowing someone to serve jury duty is limiting their rights, but its not limiting their rights to imprison of execute them? Also, even after being freed some people should have less rights. I don't care how much time a pedophile served, they should never be allowed to work anywhere near children. A drunk driver shouldn't be able to drive again for a long time.
Properly dealing with crime forces you to revoke some people's rights at least temporarily. I'm ok with trying to minimize that after time is served, but there is no changing that.
Made a 5 page response at first literally citing the Universal Declaration of Human rights, but others who responded when i was done did much better at explaining, so I will just add:
There's no reason to stop inmates from voting except for preconceived notions that they are any less human or competent than anyone else. I promise you they aren't.
Jury duty? There are already exemptions. Add in prison.
Just being on someone else's property, whether the government, a school, store, etc is a priviledge.
Same with having a job, much less at a type of institution. My awful vision means i am unable to work in the military. Working in the military was never a right in the first place. Nor is working near or at children's institutions.
Driving is a priviledge. Visit a city with good public transit, cycleways, & ample walkways & this will be made obvious. If driving feels like a necesity & thus a right, then that's a problem with your city, but i digress...
Forced labor in prison camps? Basically indentured servitude. Should be voluntary otherwise you lose benefits, nothing like toilets or clothes or food & water for example.
Can't restrict their ability to read books & learn.
No civil asset forfeiture except to pay off charges from trial (fraud, miney laundering, theft, etc), she even so, when they leave they should be returned a check or cash value equivalent to everything they once owned, minus charges from verdict of course. Otherwise it literally becomes police sponsored theft.
Look dude, its very simple. Putting people in prison is limiting their rights. Therefore, punishing criminals requires limiting their rights to some extent. You don't need multiple paragraphs, and you certainly don't need 5 pages.
Look dude, it's very simple: some rights of criminals need to be restricted for practical reasons. Most don't, and those that don't shouldn't be.
Exactly, that's what I'm saying.
Ok good. I don't think anyone is really arguing otherwise except for the most hardcore anarchists, who seem like generally unreasonable people. (Like, you're not going to stop anyone from doing whatever they want? What if what they want to do is create a government that enforces its will on everyone?)
"cRiMe" is not the issue, the unmet needs of people that motivate them to circumvent the system are the issue
I'm generally against cops and "tough on crime" measures but you only have to look at a few high profile criminals to see that some extremely destructive crimes are committed by people whose every conceivable material need is met. Trump in particular is a great example. He's also a great example of what happens certain crimes are not prosecuted.
I agree but it's important to differentiate between accused criminals and convicted criminals, and what specific diminution of rights we're talking about. Obviously jury-convicted violent criminals probably will suffer a harsher restriction on their rights than someone accused but not yet convicted of a minor misdemeanor. There will probably be a spectrum of restrictions on rights.
Are there people calling for all rights to be suspended upon indictment? Maybe on the fringes.
