"children" out of control.......

Criminal, violent, low IQ, impulsive, pathological parasites is more like it.

the drag racing thing is happening here in my city also, they take over the streets late at night doing donuts at intersections and drag racing at stop lights. This all started happening about a year or two ago.

How are they going to fine people money they don’t have?

Hello! Of course the same councilman will propose funding those who can’t pay the $5,000. A new Agency and Bureaucracy will be created to handle this and it will become another money laundering opportunity for politicians! More $5,000 fines handed out, more need for the Fine Support Network Program, you know leave no Fine unpaid. Government generates more revenue and provides more services, gee a fellow could become the Mayor with such a plan 🧐🧐🧐🧐

They are supposed to run the yellow crime tape around the scene, gather in large numbers, and have lots of flashing lights going when the TV cameras arrive. Until the social workers get unionized, it would be cheaper to have the social workers do all of that.

I kind of like the idea of a few sets of stocks bolted to a flatbed truck. Hook the malefactors up in the stocks for a few days of driving the hoods. Make it really uncomfortable. Public humiliation therapy.

That sounds like my family. All are on their own and independent. All have good careers doing what they enjoy, from engineering to trucking. They all even get along. We have a family joke about family staples like memories, events, and mementoes that have meaning to all of us. Last time they were all together, all four of them went and got tattoos of a stapler to remind them of the family staples.

I’m not a big fan of tat’s, but they have actual meaning so...

Put the kids in orange suits and have them clean the highway. Impound the cars and auction them off for parts, so the cars are destroyed.

What should happen is the parents start parenting and make the kid get a job and pay off the fine. The court would probably setup a payment plan.

Should happen...probably won't.

Fining the parents won’t work: they’re often welfare rats without anything to their names. Confiscate the cars, sell them, keep the money.

Done.

“Should happen...probably won’t.”
It won’t even be considered.
