    200 people per year in DC, man that will drop the crime rate like a rock! I guess the liberal mindset is do anything but face the real issue.

    Yeah pure genius.

    Paying tribute to invading armies always worked out well.

    Let's just give everything we own to criminals to keep them from hurting us.

    I've heard some moronic proposals but this one is just....I don't even have words for it.

    Criminal thinking, you can't pay to change that, How about using that money to provide guns to law abiding citizens who can't afford them so they can defend themselves, after all, All lives matter.

    equalizers for those who cannot afford them, sensible laws that let those who can afford it have the same means and methods of self defense as the elected officials protection details have. You know pay for good people to help prevent crimes, not criminals to behave when we already know what the outcome will be.

    You have seriously got to be kidding me....We are paying people to behave now?

    In saying that, I am a black male who was raised in a single parent household. Statistically I am supposed to be in jail right now but instead I have a pretty good career and the worst crime I have ever committed was doing 45 in a 30 about 15 years ago.

    I would like my $9000 bonus check please. Ah Ah, nope, I don't want to hear it. I am a black male, I am at high risk for committing crimes according to statistics.

    Pay me, now. :roll:

    I don't know if I would be in favor of that, but I always thought it would be a good idea for cops to hand out citations for good driving; "hey, I saw you avoid that pedestrian who jumped out in front of you" or "that guy cut you off and you saved an accident". Maybe use the citations the next time you have to appear in traffic court. A little positive PR never hurt any police department.

    Start jaywalking like a madman and demand restitution. Wear a viking hat while you do it. That would be awesome.

    How about not giving out money for anything? Let the gun owners buy their own guns and let others get jobs and earn their money that way?

    Hell, if a guy can imagine he's a woman I can imagine myself to be Black. However I want to be the next version of Ben Carson or Russell Wilson.

    I agree with the let others get jobs part, I don't agree we leave poor people to the mercy of vermin and scum. Even if it means financing at low low repayment schedules. My Grandmother couldn't afford a gun when I lived with her as a kid, she enjoyed shooting other peoples guns and she deserved the same right to self defense as any self serving politician.

    It's a liberal idea. What do you expect? Intelligence? Logic? Effectiveness? It's just another scam.

    Uh, how would they know for sure they didn't commit any crimes during their cooling-off period? Criminals only are caught maybe 20% of the time.

    A better plan would be to attach them to a long chain of their peers and let them do community service.

    This is a good idea, as long as it did not involve a stop to receive the citation, I don't have time for that. Cop sees someone breaking rank by not behaving like an imbecile on the road, takes note of license tag, sends positive citation in the mail along with details. Maybe these 'good citations' could even be used to offset the occasional minimal 'bad citation' (parking offense, rolling stop, failure to signal, etc) or be used as mitigating evidence in traffic court.

    Finally, something to agree with you on! :D

    Good point. So, really, this is just a monetary incentive to avoid being caught.
