De-Electrify Crime: Do Not Incarcerate

A simple, effective punishment can be used for violation of public policy to protect public safety: Turn off the electricity of violating individuals and organizations.

  1. Individual homes and apartments: Remove the electric meter for 30 days. If the individual finds alternative source for his domicile then the electric panel with circuit breakers will be removed. There will be a cost for re-connecting the electricity. If the circuit panel is removed, the replacement cost is borne by the individual. This includes persons or politicians advocating counter-productive or non-compliance of safety measures, e.g., virus masks.

  2. The above is true for businesses and malls.

  3. Among the benefit is lowering the cost of enforcing laws. No jailing. No prosecution. No locked up breadwinners, just inconvenienced relatives and friends.

In all cases,

  1. Violators will be escorted to a magistrate to review evidence including body cams for review by a third party. Intermediate handling can use school buses if large arrests.

  2. An electrician and a security team will remove the electric meter (or circuit breaker panel).

  3. Disconnect sign or signs will be pasted around the home or organizations like abandoned car windshield stickers or "No Trespassing" signs. The "No Electricity" sticker will have start date and ending date.

  4. Disconnections will be quality controlled each night to see if electricity has been re-introduced to the offender. Neighbors who provide extension cords will have their electrical service removed: From source (pole) to circuit panel with no redemption of removed parts. Offenders will have to pay energy company and electricians for new service.

As local news chronicles crime so should it have a segment on  daily Electricity Denial with reasons why.

An ominous letter was sent by the National School Boards Association to the U.S. Attorney General requesting deployment of the national guard and military at school board meetings to arrest and prosecute disruptive attendees under the Patriot Act as terrorists. Excuse me. This is a slippery slope that should be avoided. Heinrich Himmler is applauding in his grave. Civility Brainbees and De-Electrification will reduce the threat to school board members.
