Take home car vote passes!

I am a civilian and I had to laugh after I read the posts from some of you. If I were to write down all of the car numbers of speeding officers then there wouldnt be many left to have their cars or those would be the "talk" on this site. It may not of been the smartest choice but yet how many people do you know make the right choice ALL the time. I Do not know many. Do you wonder why so many people have lost respect for officers? It is because they like me come on to this site in hopes of supporting the officers in getting their car money returned etc... but have to read the officers bashing one another.

You all do sound like a bunch of teenagers on facebook but that would probably be called bullying and if not not mistaken that is illegal...

I disagree. Intent only matters so much. And notice I said if the person was being reckless, not just a simple accident. Not to mention, usually intent is not considered as much as it should be. Let's say someone shoots their firearm. Nothing or no one is hit. Typical ramifications follow. But let's say someone shoots their firearm, again without intent and by sheer accident, but they hit someone and that person is either injured or killed. In our society, not only would the ramifications be different, but there is a very real possibility of civil action as well. So yes, intent was the same, but the result and consequence was not. Was the same risk of consequence there? Absolutely. But it doesn't always come to fruition. Therefore, someone speeding who kills someone, in my opinion, should not be punished consistently with someone who was speeding but had no accident or caused no injury or death. I get what you are saying, but still think that more serious levels of consequence will undoubtedly lead to more serious levels of punishment. Should this always be the case? No. But it's not exclusively in error either.
