I like this. It seems like policing is more about immediate control than it is about public safety at times. God forbid some with a misdemeanor or non violent crime get away.
I always thought that they could find a creative, proacrive, nonpunitive way of protecting citizens from DUI’s. *I am aware this idea is dumb* but if the goal is to cut down on deaths then have people who are driving intoxicated place a bright green flashing light on their car like a green cop light. This way we all know to get the hell out of the way, cops would see them quickly to be able to determine whether their driving is too outrageous like speeding or excessive swerving. It wouldn’t be a pass to drive like an ass or drink till you can’t see. But the idea would be that auntie marsha wouldnt be dead because she would see the green glow around the corner and not pull out in front of the idiot doin 60 through a stop sign.

I know the idea is silly but it would be nice if they would look at preventative measure even if it meant the “crime” becomes legal since typically the crime itself isn’t the problem it’s how it hurts others that is.

DEMAND they be accredited by CALEA [ http://www.calea.org ]. In an age where we are constantly advised to only utilize services by accredited providers – be they plumbers, doctors, or electricians – how is it that we don’t expect professional accreditation from those who hold our liberties and out very lives in their hands?!

Though not a panacea for all that ills Boise’s police, accreditation from CALEA is perhaps the most important first step.

I hate reading about high speed chases through town for a petty crime. Why not get the plate number and meet and greet the violator at his home.

I wish Mr. Bones well in his new position. He will have a lot of people to keep informed and advised inside and outside the Boise PD.

It’s one of the few things we got right.

Dude played every card just right. Congrats.
