Porch Pirate - Police Deterrent Program . . .

[Teken]

This popped up in my news feed last week and thought it was something great to share. I can't say having such a program is something that should be the norm. But, given the escalation and financial loss as it relates to Porch Pirate Thefts. This seems like a worthy investment of police resources and finances in hopes of reducing these type of incidents.

In several parts of the world Asian / Middle East . . .

Such theft is countered by losing hands & feet . . .

The stats for those who are repeat offenders is zero . . .

If people were to be caught and than lose a hand, feet, etc I can safely state all manner of crime would drop to near zero. I don't know about anyone else but having lost a single hand would deter me from anything.

Losing both hands - come on, how the hell do you eat, tie your shoes, wipe your ass?!?! If you lost both hands & feet sweet Jesus you're one mentally unstable individual with no hope of saving.

I am guessing that losing Both hands is supposed to be a punishment for the FAMILY/PARENTS of said thief--- that THEY should have done a better job. Kind of a worse version of the Chinese government sending a bill for 13 cents to the family for the bullet used to execute a family member. (I want bullets at 13 cents per round!!)

That said, I would not be in favor of a thief losing Both hands. Doing so would make it exceedingly unlikely that they would be able to tie a proper noose to remove themselves from society.

Mark Rober did a few videos about fake packages. But I would think losing a hand or foot would be more of a deterrent than fart spray and glitter.

I imagine an ED 209 would be a more effective deterrent.

One of the best replies this year!

As it relates to some of these types of punishments. I have to say the range from being caned, stoned, hands & feet, be heading, to a bullet to the head?!?

Yeah, I’m not going to do anything stupid in these countries while visiting etc.

Hands down the exploding parcel thing he started years ago is truly epic!
