Decent Essays
March 31, 2016 in Montreal, Canada, NASCAR driver Derek White was arrested for claims of being involved in a major tobacco smuggling ring. The police say that the car driver played a key role in the illegal operation that contributed in bringing more than 2000 tons of tobacco from North Carolina into Canada, which also not paying over $530 million dollars in taxes. The Canadian native is also involved with illegal drugs such as cocaine and other vulgar substances. The U.S Drug Enforcement Administration worked side by side with the Department of Homeland Security and the Canadian government since 2014 conducting more than 70 search and seizures, involving more than 700 officers from both countries and resulting in dozens of arrests. The Canadian and U.S officials seized more than 1800 pounds of cocaine, 46 pounds of Methamphetamine, 35 pounds of marijuana, $1.5 million in Canadian currency, and more than $3 million in U.S currency. The charges regarding Derek White age 45, include three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud against the government which is considered a felony, and one count of profiteering as a criminal organization, it is probably a safe bet that he will be behind bars for a long time.

We need to buff these and we can weed out the criminals, but in order to do this we need to require a background check in most of what we do, trying to buy a house? Bam background check, trying to buy a car? Again background check, trying to flee the country? Too late you’re arrested because of your background check. This also fixes the issue of having criminals in the working environment, I am a strong believer that if you’re an active criminal you should not be able to work and react with the people who try and succeed in being an honorable

    In 1976, A. L. Guenther put forth the notion that our criminal justice system is “unfair, harsh, and biased,” as well as saying that we have a criminal processing system and not a criminal justice system. While these statements may have been made four decades ago, they still ring true today. I agree with Guenther’s comments, as our criminal justice system is unfair to the offenders they deal with, carries out harsh penalties on these members of society, and is biased to different groups over the history of America. Offenders are usually treated like statistics, not like members of society.…

    Americans today live in a country overflowing with more prisoners than ever, yet crime has been dropping since the late twentieth century. In fact, from 1980 to 2008, the number of people incarcerated in America quadrupled from about 500,000 to 2.3 million people (Criminal 1). There are several factors contributing to this problem. In recent years, America has taken new approaches to crime, such as the “War On Drugs” and the “Three Strikes” law. These approaches have drastically increased the prison population, to the point that 1 in 31 adults, or 3.2% of the population, will spend some time in prison in their lifetime (ibid).…

    As many of you already know the United States has the highest percentage of its population behind bars compared to any other country. This may be related to the fact that a majority of petty crimes require mandatory sentencing. Politicians such as District Attorney Dan Conley believe that mandatory sentencing is an efficient way to protect the population from corrupt individuals as well as decreasing crime rates. However, housing all of these individuals is not cheap, the funding for this endeavor is taken directly from the taxes all of us have to pay. While I agree that petty crime offenders should compensate in some way for their crimes, further destroying their lives is not the answer.…
