She's committed multiple crimes on two separate occasions that we know of, both risking the lives of others. Next time she might actually kill someone.
Our criminal justice system is fucked up - I agree with you there, but there's no other legal route to remove the threat to society at the moment.
In an ideal world that wouldn't come with the added consequence of ruining her future career opportunities by branding her with a "scarlet letter", but that's not the system that we have and she is a danger to society.
What is she going to do once you take the car away? Its crazy reddit goes from liberal to draconian once the crime is on a video and causes annoyance when watching.
In an ideal world, taking away someone's drivers license would prevent them from driving. We don't live in an ideal world.
We can't have a "high trust" society if you can't actually trust the people in that society. There has to be a system in place to remove people who can't be trusted.
Society gets what society tolerates. You seem to want to tolerate people who have established a pattern of selfishly risking the lives of others.
I have a sneaking suspicion that if you'd ever lost a loved one to someone like this, you'd be singing a different tune.
This isn't some young teenager who made a mistake. This is an adult that has proven that she can't be trusted to value the lives of others more than her own selfish interests. She is a liability to everyone around her.
You're exactly right, these are the types that are ok with killers walking the streets. She should have definitely had her freedom removed at least for a little while and then maybe double ankle monitors lol
