Should thoughts be criminalized?
Find answers to your legal question.





Should thoughts be criminalized?

Such as if a guy is thinking about robbing a bank, but never does it, "It's just a fantasy", shouldn't he face criminal charges of attempted robbery?
Should their be Thought Police monitoring thoughts?

No. If the crime was never commited then no harm done anybody. If he starts saying to everyone he will and makes threats he will he should be arrested for idle threat.

What you are talking about is already against the law. It is called "conspiracy to commit robbery." Just the fact that you are thinking about considering robbing a bank it is against the law. Welcome to the new America.

sure, you know any cops that can read minds?

No. That violates the First Amendment.

No, that's why Hate Crime laws are so ridiculous. No one should be imprisoned for what they THINK.

No-According to the 1st ammendement.

They can't read your mind..and everyone even me has

thought about robbing a bank or killing my ex..

Is normal thinking of the human mind.It prepare's us of our

dark emotion's that we boil over time...as it drift's into the

unknown...

No. Differentiation of sentences based on "hate crimes" is already a step in the direction of the thought police.


More gravy than grave
I recommend you research ELF radio transmiters.
