I don’t remember which ones exactly, but I have heard about when executions were public, and pickpocketing was punishable by death, it was disturbingly common for pickpockets to work the crowds at executions, presumably thinking “That won’t happen to me-I’m a professional”.
What really needs to be done is for the system to place more emphasis on rehabilitating anyone it can.

Hey I like my AOL CDs, of course I’m in New Zealand so they are not much use but I still like them (and yes I was actually sent them :D)

19th century England had the death penalty for virtually everything, and public executions. Paradoxically, public executions tended to create crime: pickpockets worked the crowd, and burglars tended to take advantage of the unoccupied houses and businesses (as everyone was off watching the execution).

Admittedly, there was trial by jury in this system, but it was still very oppressive and quite ineffective at reducing crime. But despite clear evidence that the death penalty does not deter crime, people still stand behind it. Go figure.

By the way, nobody has guessed yet which one of the rules proposed by the OP I don’t like.

When I run the world:

Anyone caught tossing a cig butt on the ground will pick it up, with their mouth!

Old people are not allowed to drive.

I like the turn signal ideas, making the car turn if its on, the car WONT turn if its off. Perfect.

Sex offenders and serial killers and other violent criminals go to a penal colony. I think Newfoundland would be perfect, with the billions saved from running prisons, we resettle all the newfies on Cape Breton Island.

People who kill a spouse they caught cheating will not be punished.

Policemen will be paid ALOT of money, buckets of it, and only the best applicants will be accepted.
