I think it depends on what the convicted felons do and and individual cases. I think they should be able to get a license, as long as they aren't a crazy driver. I think they should be allowed to travel where they want. I think they should have a say in the country with voting and all. I think they shouldn't be able to live by schools, and parks, and places like that. I think neighbors should be notified if a criminal moves by them. I think public safety is more important than individual rights.

1.25 Convicted fell ins should no be aloud to by a house or a car. But they should be able to get a job and be put in a half way house. They should also have like a manager to manage their money so the don't spend it on stupid stuff and become what they where before. But it all deepens on what the crime was that they got sent to jail. In conclusion i think that some people should have rights but it all depends on what the crime was that they did and how sever they where.

Convicted felons shouldn't have the same rights as citizens with clean records. Yes, they should be able to have a driver's licenses because even if they did do something they should still be able to drive unless they got in trouble with something to do with driving. I don't think that they should be able to have any job that they choose, depending on what they got in trouble for they shouldn't have a job that would include that would get them in trouble, or tempt them. They should be able to travel but maybe they have to tell the state where they're moving to and the state that they're moving to that they're moving there. They should be allowed to vote everyone has a right to vote no matter what. Depending on where the area is i think they should be able to live where ever but still monitored making sure everything, and everyone's safe. Neighbors should be notified where they live so they can keep an eye out for them. Public safety i think is more important, because there's more people involved then just individual rights. All in all i think that everyone should be able to know where a convicted felon is so they can watch out and they should lose some rights since they did a crime.

I think that released convicts should be monitored when they are released for at least a year like probation kind of. They should still have the rights of normal citizens though because they are released and they shouldn't have to be constantly watched.

Convicted felons should have the same rights as citizens with clean records. They should be allowed to get there driver's licenses. They should be allowed to get any job thy choose. They should be allowed to travel across state/country borders. They should be allowed to vote. They should be allowed to live wherever they choose. Neighbors should be notified that there is a convicted felon living in there neighborhood. I think individual rights are more important.

Criminals and released felons should have the same rights as citizens with clean records. They should also be able to get their drivers licenses to get around from place to place. They should have choices in jobs and should work wherever they want. It wouldnt be a big deal if they crossed state borders. They should also be allowed to vote. They should live wherever they want or choose. Neighbors should be notified for safety reasons. Individual rights is more important. Criminals should have the same rights because if they did their time then they should be clean.

1.08- Released convicts should have the same rights as everyone else because they have already served their time for the crime they committed. They should be allowed to have a driver's license because they shouldn't be punished by not being able to drive. They should be able to get a job but if they committed a crime that has to do with that place of work then the company should be notified so the company can make the decision to hire him or her. They should be allowed to travel anywhere they want. They should be allowed to vote because just because they are a criminal does not mean their opinion doesn't matter. They should be allowed to live where they want unless the place has something to do with the crime, for example, a pedifile should not live near a school. Neighbors should be notified because they have a right to know if a criminal lives next to them. I think both individual rights and public safety are important and we should have a good balance between the two.

It kind of depends what the felon did. If they killed someone they shouldn't have the same rights as citizens. If they got charged with assault and battery they should be able to have the rights of a citizen. I think they should be aloud to get drivers license no matter what they did. Without the license how would the police know who that person is if a cop pulls them over. I think they should only be aloud to get certain job's. I think they should be able to travel where ever they want they did there time now they can have some kind of freedom. I think neighbors should be able to know just in case there child predators. I think public safety is more important than individual rights. In conclusion I believe you get rights if you didn't take someones life away from them.

People who are convicted should be given the same right depending on what their crime was. The should be able to get a drivers license in they were not convicted for a crime involving a car.They should not be able to get any job they want. I think that if the want to they should be able to travel wherever they want to they already paid for the crime that the did. If they can vote they should be able to vote. The neighbors should be notified for the crime that they did so they can be aware of what might happen when they move there.I think that public safety is more important than individual rights.

P.1 26# -I think that it depends on how bad the person was and what they did to earn being in jail.I think if you did murder or something you should not have all your rights taken away i mean if it was self defense than you should have the same rights as any one else.But there are different crimes for different people and what it comes down to is just seeing different stories. I don't want to say that you should take peoples rights away from everyone that has done a crime just those who have done something so bad that they were in jail for a long time and a number of years.There are different reasons why i think the way i think so the answer for me is if crimanils should have there rights is yes and no. Some people i think should be watched so they don't do something else bad yet again and small crimes with people who have changed should have there rights back.

I agree with you with most of your views but i think that individual rights is more important because you shouldnt change how the whole population should act based on one person.

1.08- I don't agree with 25 because they should be able to spend their money on what they want, if they want to buy stupid stuff then let them it is their decision.

My opinion to the point that criminals should/shouldn't be give the same rights as citizens with a clean record, is that I think that it depends on what they did. If the person killed a person then no I believe that the general public should be kept safe from murders. Also they should keep child molesters, murders, and drug dealers because of what they did. If some body got put in jail because of drug use, alcohol use, etc., then they should be able to prove that they can make a change in their life and choose where is right for them to live, and to take their families. They shouldn't be allowed to travel place if they have a bad record(Involving drug dealers, murderers, etc.) In conclusion, I believe that they shouldn't be denied of their freedom if they were not put away for a strong reason. Also it depends on what they did to become a criminal and get put in jail.

1.5 I think that people that just got out of jail should have there rights back.They should have there licenses they surved there time.I think they should be allowed to travel to stats but not country's for a long time.They should be allowed to vote. The cops should know were they live. The public safety is more important.

I do not think that felons should have citizen rights. They have done something bad there for they should not get a second chance. No rights should be given to them.

1.18 I think released convicted felons should be given some of the same rights as citizens with a clean record. I beleive that sence they have done their time for their crime they should be free and have their lives back. I think that they should just have to go through drivers ED again to get their license back. I think they should have the ability to have any job they want, but they should always be under survalence. I believe every voice counts so they should defenetly have the freedom of speech and vote for what they believe in. Yes, nieghbors should be notified for safety reasons. other then that they should just have any rights, unless they were a murderer they cant poses a gun or any wepons. In conclusion, every one should get a second chance, any one can have a change of heart!

26# to 7#-I agree with number 7 because that person is right it really dose depend on how bad the case was and what they did. Some should earn there rights back and some shouldn't.

I agree 1.25 you shouldn't be aloud to get any job you want if your a felon.

1.comp. 10 Released convicts and felons should be given the same rights as non convicts because when there released they have done there time for the crime they did every one deserves that second chance so they deserve the same rights the non convicts have. they should be able to get there drivers license because they they did there time and they were released. they should be allowed to get what ever job they want but they cant they should be allowed to travel across state lines because of family and friends just because they screwed up one time doesn't mean they shouldn't be ale to leave state. and everyone deserves privacy and the neighbors being alerted about where they live isnt privacy.

Your very right. probation is good but they shouldnt have to check in every day. they should check in with their parol officer one a week or every 3 days.

I agree with you because it all depends on what the felon did and the individual case. But the should be restricted to a lot of things.

Anonymous said...

1.12: I think that people that were released from jail should not be treated as a citizen with clean records.I think they should not be allowed to get a drivers licenses. I think the released convicted felons should not be able to chose what ever job they want.They should not be able to go across state or country borders.The released convicted felon should not be able to vote at all.The released convicted felons should not be able to choose where they want to live because if they did they could probably choose to live by schools so they can get closer to any children they want to and so they should be able to choose where they want to live at all. Yes, I think the neighbors should be notified about where the felon is living at. I think that public safety is more important because if something happens to a little kid we would now who it would be because it would be the convicted felon and then the neighbors can call the police and get him/her taken back to jail for doing what ever he/she did to the little kids. All in all, I think that convicted felons should never be treated as real citizens of the state or country.

I think that the criminals like Eric pool should have rights but be restricted like them not being able to live by a school. they should be able to get there driver license and go were they want over borders but they should be monitored for four or five years in conclusion the criminals should be watched.

26# I think i am an independent on this vote because if you think about it it really dose depend on the person if they are mentally healthy in the head if they have changed and if you are ready to begin a new life. Felons that arn't need to be watched and not have the same rights when they decided to change they can have their rights back if they don't they don't get there rights back.

I think convicted felons should be able to be citezen depending on their crime. If they had no problems driving then i think it should be fine allowing felons to have drivers license. I think that they should be able to apply for any job they want but it is up to the employer to hire the felon. I think they should be able to travel anywhere but should get searched. I think they should be allowed to vote it is still their country. They should fill free to live where ever they want. For the safety of neighbors they should be notified who their living by. I think both public and individual rights are important. In all i think convicted felons can be citizens.

I think that convicted felons should e given the same rights as citizens with a clean record because they are still citizens of the united states and they already served their time in prision, jail, etc, and as an american citizen you are born with all the rights in the consitution. Just because you commite a crime doesn't mean all your rights get taken away. They also should be able to get a drivers licenses because in my eyes its just something everyone should be able to get a drivers licenses when they are of age. I think they should be allowed to travel around but I think they should be under close watch only if they are like eric and like a serial killer but if you commited a crime like tagging the side of a buliding then you shouldnt have to be under close watch.They should be allowed to live anywhere they want because that is their choice. I thik both are important but public safety in my eyes is more important because its not just one person like it is with individual rights, public safety concitits of the whole public not just one. In conclusion I think that crminals should still have the rights of people with clean records because they are still citizens and they should not have their rights taken away because they messed up.

1.21:
No I think it was the criminals choice to do what they want. So if they are called a criminal they obviously chose to do something against the law. Making that choice should cut off or take away some of the things we have as free citizens. It should depend on the crime when deciding what should be taken away. They should not be able to live or travel where ever they want unless they have had like 4 past years clean of any trouble with the law. Just because they did something bad they should still be able to vote since they will still be a citizen. People around should know a criminal is living by them. Overall, public safety is more important because it involves more than one person.

Should released convicted felons be given the same rights as citizens with clean records? Honsetly no they should not because they are the type of people that make people scared to walk home or go out noo they should be known as a convicted felon. Yes they should b able to have a drivers licenses they need to make a liveing and provide for them selfs even if they did something wrong. NO they shouldnt, what if a chils molester want a job as a teacher that wouldnt be a good idea.! AFter a while they should but they need to get there life together before they go out of state because they could do something wrong there and get in trouble. YES, they should be allowed to vote what does voting have to do with there personal choice.? YES and NO because like i said before what if there a child molster and they wanted to live next to a school? that would be very dangerous for the kids in the school. They should i think so they could watch out for him/her. Public safey for sure .! that is my opinion on convicted felons and there rights after they get out.!

1.12-16: I some what agree with you because the rapist should be keeped under close watch and i don't agree with you because the murders should be noticed to in the community.

If people are convicted felons I think it would depend on what they did. If a child molester, thief, a gang person, or rapist moved around me I would get mad and probably move. Those types of people should not be able to live around an area where there are lots of kids or by school areas. They definitely should not be able to choose what type of job they want. They should because maybe a rapist wants to work at a Burger King but there’s always a bunch of kids and teens that go hang out there. They are basically putting the kids in danger. They should be able to leave across borders so they can leave everyone alone and people stop worrying so much about their kids. People should be able to know if there are felons around their neighborhood. Convicted felons should still be able to vote because they are humans and everybody has rights no matter what. Clearly, convicted felons get treated different and they should be. Only sometimes!

Convected felons shouldn't have the same rights as peoples with a clean record. Criminals I think should be able to get drivers licenses. Well, convects should not be able to get any job they want there should be limits. No they should have to stay in one country not be able to got o multiple countries. Felons should be allow to vote. From with in the one country they should be able to live were they want as long as they are monitored. Definitely, neighbors should no if a convicted felon lives around them. Lastly, The public safety is a little more important then individual. rights
