| 760454 | 2009-03-29 07:17:00 | This new law to crush cars is ridiculous - take away their internet access I say after three accusations of bad driving. Or at least be consistent, crush a car after three accusations of speeding. |

| 760459 | 2009-03-29 08:22:00 | And you work that out how?? Think Section 92A before you reply. I work it out as follows: Section 92A: - ISPs had to be judge, jury and executioner - Guilty upon accusation (not specifically in the law, but that was the effect) - Downloading copyrighted material does not damage our internet connection infrastructure - Copyright infringement does not put people's lives at risk Illegal street racing + crushing cars: - Crime is investigated and prosecuted with due process, through our judicial system - Guilt has to be proven through the court process - Illegal street racing damages our roads - Drivers put innocent people's lives at risk The laws are already there - illegal street racing, speeding, dangerous driving etc. are already against the law, and for good reason. The only difference here is the punishment - clearly fines don't work, impounding cars doesn't work, our prisons are overcrowded. Three people I knew were killed by a boy racer several years ago, doing over 100km/hr in a residential area. The accident devastated the community, the families, and friends of those involved. I was at the funeral for one of the victims, and can assure you that it was not fun. |
