[daniel1212]

Any human being should be treated with respect regardless of their sins or crimes. They are made in the image of God, remember?

I agree, as they are made after the similitude of God," (James 3:9) being spirit, soils and body, (1Thes. 5:23) though on the other side man also has the nature of Adam, and the even the Ephesians "were by nature the children of wrath, even as others." (Ephesians 2:3)

That bit of theology aside, the issue of "respect" can vary and i have mentioned before the kind of cruel "respect" sanctioned by Rome as well as early Protestants in following the world.

Respect should not be confused with liking everyone. It is a form of love: a desire for another to come to salvation in Christ.
