I'd rather make him work it off. Not just the $5, but some punitive punishment as well. Like I said above, make him wash cop cars for a month, every day for 2 hours. If he has a job, (which I doubt) too bad. Show up or go to jail.

Isn't that what already happens.... Shoplifters typically get fined or community service

Listen to his lecture at about the 7:40 mark. Just simple, reasonable common sense.

One question regarding the video with the guy wrestling down the 2 Bobbies... how would this have played out in the United States... would he have been shot?

Are you seriously asking this question? Think about all of the reasons that a person would "deserve" to die. Then look at this video and ask yourself again if he deserved to die or even get shot for that matter.

Deserved may not be the right word usage but people make bad choices that result in bad things happening to them all the time....the guy made the choice to fight the police and even put his hands around their throats.....Being shot would have been justified in this instance.

Hey, I'm anti-pedophile, guy breaking in your garage and all of that also... I can respect he's been to jail and all, but the things that annoy me are when cops use lethal force or abuse citizens on petty traffic stops, busted taillights, selling loose cigarettes, parking in handicapped spaces, eye rolling or flipping of a cop, illegal lanes changes and what not. Meanwhile counterfeiters, illegal aliens, white collar fraudsters, banksters and the like get a free pass.

There's a time and a place to use lethal force or having to choke somebody out. But the overwhelming majority of the time, these cops only have one play in their playbook...

Indentured servitude if you like that term better. Or he can sit in a jail cell . Kind of like the old $30 or 30 days quip. Give him a choice. He inflicted harm upon somebody. Emotionally. That has to be accounted for as well.

Slavery is slavery. Further, any time a society/community receives a very direct economic benefit from prosecuting crimes you are going to incentivize the following:

1. More focus on enforcement and prosecution of those crimes whose punishments lead to a direct economic benefit and less focus on the enforcement and prosecution of other crimes.

2. More laws on the books, more outlawed behavior, and more punishments that are direct economic benefits to the community.

It's a terrible ****ing idea, and the fact that it used to occur does not in any way imply that it was ever a good idea.
