Period 1. Computer 5

In my opinion, I think that criminals are citizens, even if they are convicted felons. There still a person. I also think that they should get drivers licenses but there should be some restrictions. They shouldn't be able to go out of state or no further than 10,000 miles away from their home. They shouldn't be able to get any jobs they choose they should just get the bad jobs. I also think that they shouldn't be able to vote and that they shouldn't be able to choose where they live either. Personally,if I was there neighbor I would want to know so I can keep an eye out. I think that public safety is more important than individual rights. In conclusion, criminals are citizens, they just need some restrictions.

No I don't think they should be able to. They made bad choices so why should they get the rights we get. I don't think they should get a drivers license Because they can run. They shouldn't be able to work anywhere they messed up. They can to through the state but not out of the country. Yes they should be able to vote Cause that doesn't really matter. In conclusion I think they should get different laws because they made bad choices.

I don't think that convicted felons should be allowed to do the things that innocent people can do. also they shouldn't have clean records. I also think that criminals shouldn't get drivers licenses. And criminals shouldn't get good jobs they should get bad jobs. Criminals Shouldn't be able to travel either because they did the crime it isn't our fault. They could vote just because that is fo everyone. Neighbors should be notified about the criminals. In conclusion, I think that we should be more towards public safety.

I think that convicted crimminals should be allowed to have the same rights as a normal citezen. I know i might say something different if th felon did something to harm me or my family. But right now I believe it is their right and they are still people.

I think that criminals
are citizens. Just because they do bad things doesn't mean that they are not citezen, they live here too. I think that they should get a job that is reasonable, not any job. Thay shouldn't be able to cross the boreder because they can do bad things over there too and we dont want them too do bad in countries that arent ours. They should still be allowed to voter because they are still living in the uinited states and they have the rights to say who they want to tell them what to do. I think that people should be notified just for safety, just incase. Whats more important is public safety because everyone should have safety not just certain people.

Should convicted felons be treated like a regular citizen when they are released? I think that it depends on the crime: if its a murder,sex offender or even a major thief i think that the neighbors and employers should be notified. I believe in equal right and those people served their time, they may have learned from mistake and want to go on with his/her life, but then again people cant always change. In conclusion, Equal rights is for everyone but we still need to take precautions, its called parol people! We just need to have these people monitored until we know they wont do anymore wrong.

I don't agree with #5 because it is all the criminals fault so they shouldn't get rights.

yes convicted felons should have the right to have the rights of a normal person. they should be able to do so if they can prove themselves to the court system and all that stuff. also voting should be a right that should not be taken away at all. a driving licenses should be earned when they get realeseaed. i think every one deserves a second chance.

I think that felons should not be given the same rights as citizens with clean records. I think that it depends on what they are convicted of. I think that they should be allowed to get their drivers licenses. I think that they shouldn't be allowed to get any job they choose I also don't think they should be allowed to travel across the state or country. I think that they should be allowed to vote if they want. They should be able to live where they want but the neighbors should be notified of where they live. I think public safety is more important than individual rights. All in all, I think that felons should be able to have some rights but if it is going to put innocent lives in danger then they shouldn't be able.

Convicted felons should be given the same rights as citizens with clean records. Citizens should also be able to get driver's licenses. I think that it should be up to the person who is giving the criminal a job if the criminal should be able to get the job that they want. They should also be able to travel across state/borders. I believe that everyone should have the same respect and freedom unless the crime that they were convicted for is a major crime like murder. I know a lot of people who have been convicted for something they didn't do and for accidents. I had a friend who was playing with a gun when he was little because he did't know better and shot his best friend and was convited for murder and i do not think it would be fair for him to not have the same freedom as everybody else. I think that people that the crime was made aganist should know about the criminal getting out but no body else whould know the criminals personal information.

No convicted felons should not be given the same rights as the citizens with clean records. They should be aloud to have drivers licenses. They shouldn't be aloud to get any jobs they choose, but should still be aloud to have a job. They shouldn't be aloud to leave the state or the country until they can prove that they are able to control themselves. They shouldn't be aloud to vote because it is a right to vote and if you violate a law they loose their rights. They should be aloud to live wherever they want as longs as they at least tell the neighbors. Neighbors should be notified if they are living there for there own safety. In conclusion public safety is more important than individual rights.

convicted felons should have the same rights as clean civilians. they should be allowed to get a license unless they did a major crime dealing with a car. they should be able to get any job they want unless it deals with others money. they should not be able to cross because they will have a clean slate over there. they should be allowed to vote because it is important for them to have a choice in who becomes their leader. they should be allowed to live where ever but have others warned. yes they should be warned. the rights and safety are equally important.

I think convicted felons should have the same rights as people with clean records because they already did their time. I think they should be able to get a drivers licence if they didnt go to prison because of a dwi or anything illegal in a car.They should be able to get any job they want if they have the education for it. They should be able to travel wherever they want. I also think they should be able to vote. If their crime was really bad they shouldnt be able to live in the same neighborhood as little kids. I dont think neighbors should be notified of their crimes , and i think individual safety is more importamnt than public safety because it was in their past.

I think that convicted felons should be treated like citizens. They should be able to get the job they want and be able to get a drivers license, because they already did their time in jail. but I don't know if they should be able to go out of state. I also think that their neighbors should be told about it. In conclusion, I think criminals should be treated like citizens to a point.

Depending on the convicts crime that they did they should not be given the same rights as e person with clean records. Yes they should be able to get their drivers license after being convicted. They should be able to get all jobs depending on what they did. If they are on probation they should not be able to leave the state/country. They should not be able to vote for what they want. They should be able to live at whatever place they can afford. Depending on what they did the neighbors should be notified. Public safety is way more important than individual rights.

In my opinion, felons should not have the same rights as the rest of use. The records should be sealed. They can drive. If they can get the job its cool. They can travel but should be superviced. They can vote.

Convicted felons should be given the same rights as people with clean records. Felons should be aloud to get licenses so they don't have to walk everywhere. Felons should be able to have any job they want they shouldn't be able to work on airplanes or airports or things like that. Felons shouldn't be able to leave the U.S. to travel. They should be able to vote and live wherever they want. Neighbors should be notified where they live. In conclusion public safety and individual rights are both very important.

1.11:
Released convicted felons, depending on their crime, shouldn't be given the same rights as citizens. Yes, they should be given their driver's license. Unless their crime was something to do with a car. They shouldn't be able to choose the job they want because while they were committing crimes people with clean records have been working hard to get to where they are. Depending on their crimes they should be able to travel with in the country. Even though they broke the law, they do need to have the right to vote. Its everyone's duty to vote for whom runs this country. They should be allowed to live where they want, unless they are sex offenders. Then they should have to live in certain places, without children around. The neighbors should be able to see what their neighbors have done. The thing that is most important is the publics safety.

Okay mr fornnarino, I will type a little more this time. The felons should have the same rights as other citizens. I say this because they are still people and Americans. But there should be some certain precautions. Even if they were an ax murdurer they still have some rights.

Per. 1 # 17 shantel

In my opinion, convicted felons should, for the most part, be given the same rights as citizens with clean records. They should be able to get a drivers license, but they shouldn't be able to get any job they want. For example, a child sex offender should not be able to get a job where they will be around children. Also, they should be able to vote and travel across state and country borders as long as they meet the regular requirement. I don't believe they should be able to live wherever they want, because, again, if they are a child sex offender, you wouldn't want them living close to a school, or daycare. Its already a law that you have to register as a sex offender if you are convicted, and I agree that that is a great idea, so that neighbors and local schools can know who they are about to be living by. When it comes to being more important, individual rights, or public safety, I would surely have to say that public safety is way more important. Over all, I believe that convicted felons should be given some of the same rights as clean record citizens.

6/7.3 I think that convicts should have the same rights. Because when they get out they might want to have a different life. They should be able to pick any job they want, they may de different an act different. They should be able to go were they want to because one there free. Should be able to vote because there just like everybody else, an should be treated the same.
