Driver’s License…is it necessary to have a driver’s license to be successful? Is it really appropriate to suspend or revoke a driver's license as a consequence to crimes unrelated to violence or driving at all?

Who really is paying for the consequences of a lost license? Family, children, taxpayers and employers are paying much more of their own funds due to loss of employee, retrainings, public services shelling out buss passes and vouchers for taxis and such.

When the documents say in black and white ‘loss of drivers license for 99 years” how then can a person even live? They are met with challenges beyond their sentencing range and yet we sit back and assume “they” have to figure it out for themselves, they are the criminal. This is backward thinking if we want to see peace and collaboration in our community. Are we really still stuck in that ‘spank your child’ false belief system when it comes to crime? New parenting techniques using talk therapy, art therapy and reward systems have permeated the old ways of abuse to get children to listen so why are we still doing it to adults in the criminal legal system?

When a driver's license is taken away as a consequence to crimes committed it is an additional sentence on top of the criminal legal sentence that far surpasses the judicial sentence length of incarceration or probation and has to be changed for the better of our local, state and national communities.

Opening the complex window of law enforcement from the inside out - with Whatcom County Sheriff’s Deputy Steve Harris. After 27 years in the field, we invite him to talk about distinctions such as, who are municipal police as different from county, state, or federal law enforcement? How is this different from tribal police, corrections officials, court officials, even statewide peace officers or elected law enforcement CEO’s who run the corporations related to the law and justice system.
This first episode of this series addresses why do these branches of service matter? What is it like to walk on the edge of human crisis issues…constantly assessing situations and having to make decisions that change lives? We have a top down, command and control system with many cross sections – and this affects authority, funding, jurisdictions, courts, roles, laws and how the business of public safety, jails, crisis, disaster and emergency management work. For example, WA state now has a Peace Officer training program – what does that mean? What does it mean to provide for the “the public’s safety?”
In our next episode we will talk about rank, leadership customs, and how “Command & Control” authority works as well as How has it changed over the years?
