A black mom was trying to cross the street from a bus stop, because the nearest crosswalk was almost a mile away. A driver hits her child and she gets blamed for “jay walking”. Just an insanely evil country.

Three strikes policy must become a thing for reckless driving and related offences. After your third conviction you never get to drive a car again in your life.
“They’d just drive anyway”
Mandatory prison sentence and vehicle confiscation, regardless of who owns it. Unless it’s literaly stolen, it’s the owner’s responsibility to ensure the driver is legally allowed to drive.
“But not being able to drive is undue hardship”
Tough.
Being dead is undue hardship
Three strike policies are shown to not decrease incidence of crime whatsoever, but rather primarily contribute to our already severely overcrowded prisons, and to people refusing to turn themselves in due to fear of imprisonment, to the point people will commit additional crimes just to stay out of jail.
Carceral Justice doesn’t work, and it’s purely reactionary to suggest it in any circumstance given it’s lack of efficacy.
More like, “Good.”
Maybe then some of those folks would start helping to lobby for zoning reform!
