Crime and Public Safety
- Free up our law enforcement resources by concentrating efforts on crimes against persons and property, rather than non-violent offenders.
- Stop any use of "asset forfeiture" until the property owner has been properly convicted of a crime in the judicial system. Seizure of property before a conviction is an un-American policy of "guilty until proven innocent."
- Promote medical treatment, rather than prison sentences, for those who abuse alcohol or drugs.
- Stopping the national War on Drugs will reduce profit of the drug trade, resulting in a decrease in crime.
- Permit the carrying of firearms with training and a background check (shall-issue). This will allow law-abiding citizens the constitutional right to arm themselves to protect their homes and liberties. Waiting periods, bans, and registration may actually increase crime.
