Sanctuary: Escaping the Global Epidemic of CriminalizationsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #sanctuary7 years ago

Criminalization or criminalisation:
The process by which behaviors and individuals are transformed into crime and criminals.


Every day,

within every government on the face of this planet,

new legislation is being composed to be grafted onto old.


Almost without exception such legislation either

  • forbids some human behaviour
  • or -
  • coerces some human behaviour.
  • or both.

Such criminalization is increasing at a pace that ensures
the majority of any population will eventually be subject to criminal procedure.

The only exceptions to being a criminal will be for those wealthy or powerful enough to evade criminalization.

There is no escape from this epidemic aside from
departing areas policed by out-of-control governments.

This is not just an "American problem".

Overcriminalization is global in scope and threatens everyone not connected or rich enough to escape the growing incarceration industry.

The only hope will be Sanctuary where The One Law is recognized as the ultimate legal basis.

NACDL - Overcriminalization

The Government vs. YOU

From Overcriminalization: Sacrificing the Rule of Law in Pursuit of "Justice":

...Americans who are often unaware their conduct is now illegal...
...practice of authorizing unelected agency officials to create criminal offenses and penalties...
... tort-law doctrines to allow one person to be punished for the criminal acts of another...

Decriminalization ? we wish...)

Sort:  

It's not just the U.S. it's happening all around the "free" world.

Privatised prisons need a steady supply of fake criminals to prosper. Even words and opinions are crimes now.

Governments are all corporations now & a corporate body basically means a dead body, so we have a situation where the dead rule over the living.

Big government = public enemy No 1

This is something that far too many people in the USA do not realize.
As someone expatriated for many decades I see this firsthand.
I would mention places I witness this visible but I may still need to be able to visit...
