Freedom always comes with responsibility.
Without responsibility there is no true freedom.
For example you are free to drive your car very fast but because of this you can kill or hurt someone else or you can be hurt.
So, if responsibility don't follow freedom, bad things happen.

If people were punished according to damages done by their misuse of freedom, we wouldn't have government problems.
If a person were to drive his car very fast, and he killed someone, he should be executed. If this happened every time, nobody would drive their car too fast.
In addition, police and government make money off people who have done no harm or damage. They make up some laws, and then try to get people to obey the laws. When people don't obey the laws, they fine the people for doing no harm to anyone.
Let the people be free in everything. Make laws to be advisory in nature - no tickets for speeding. But if you do harm or damage by speeding, the same harm or damage is done to you. In addition, you need to pay the other people for the harm or damage you did, at least twice, but maybe 4 times.
Keep the insurance so that the harmed people get their payment. But make the bad guy pay the insurance company back.
This would make things right, and get rid of police brutality.
Interesting ideas BADecker but this is more ''Old testament'' way like eye for eye, life for life etc.
Jesus bring us ''New testament'' and teach us to love our enemies and forgive.
Who is ideal person in our society, without any sin, who can judge fairly others and even execute them?
Do you trust anyone?
You see, this is real problem.
We don't live in ideal world and everybody are corrupted, abusing our rights and freedom.
Not once did I say for you or I as people to go out and exact eye for eye. The thing that I am talking about is the way government should handle it.
You don't have to judge people according to some goofy judgment that you might have. You judge people according to what they do. If they negligently harm or damage, make them pay. If it is truly an accident without any negligence, the insurance covers. If you are the one harmed or damaged, you can show mercy; just remember, if you show mercy, you might be setting a killer free on the roads to kill again, so to speak. If that is the case, you share in the guilt for the harm or damage he does next time.
The brief ideas I set forth are just that. Perhaps it is a good idea to make the third instance the instance that eye for eye works with. It will take more than some talk in a forum to work the whole thing out in a just and fair way.
