If your recklessness causes an innocent to die, then YES!!

[Gwadinka]

I do not think so..................

[arcanum]

When u at a stop light, get the green... hesitate (half second) to move off for some unknown reason (knowing you normally zip through as soon as it turns green) and then see a car speed right past the front of your car just as you are about to move off...you get a first hand dose of reality..when it comes on to how careless some drivers are.


if its a case like blatantly running a red light and killing someone..i'd consider it, but accidents are mostly just that..accidents, so I'm not so sure about the death penalty

What specific traffic violations are you referring to Ramesh? The only one I can think of that would warrant a debate of this nature would be drunk driving. For example someone becoming intoxicated, and then jumps into his car and in the process of driving impaired kills a family of four.

[arcanum]

is involuntary manslaughter punishable by death btw?

Perhaps it is a viable alternative to our present day system. As it is, millions if not billions of dollars, time and resources are spent on the Judicial system. Our prisons are flooded, we have so many underpaid policemen because the system cannot handle the money needed.

We could instead use this as a deterrent. Anyone breaking the law has automatically forfeited their life, no matter what the crime! Criminals will be a thing of the past as we weed them out for elimination and we will end up with a more tactile obedient society.

Not at all, because anyone with such ideas is master of criminality. :icon_evil

I get the idea still; kill people to save the economy?

Do you drive? How will we handle the corrupt cops (who will give u a ticket/arrest you because you refuse to pay him/her off)? What about the people on a bus/taxi who allow the drivers to drive badly, should they be executed as well? What about involuntary manslaughter?

According to your reasoning everybody who drives would be at risk of being executed. It happen so many times, you driving, and a child just run cross the road to pick up a ball. Execution time! :icon_twis

In a way I understand what you are saying. Last night while watching the news I saw this accident with a ‘Town Ace’ van and a truck where five persons died because the driver of the van was allegedly speeding.

NO!!!
Unless it was premeditated murder where the vehicle was the weapon.
