20:2510243the subject of community service was raised there.
have we all seen the news about the miscreants having to wear a hi-viz jacket announcing that they are paying back to society whilst carrying out their work?
they interviewed one who said he was totally humiliated and would not get involved in naughtiness in future.
sounds good to me.
much better than roger's plan to execute anyone convicted of heinous crimes.

11:0010306I don't think that will ever be a problem Bern, I haven't heard of the US encountering that problem as they are constantly supervised. A Hi-Viz in my view isn't enough, they should also wear brightly coloured overalls as in other countries, or they might be mistaken as council or other ancilliary workers which isn't fair to the hard-working man or woman carrying on with their daily work.

18:5110342that is a good point barry, a fluorescent orange would be most effective as most hi viz jackets around here are yellow.
incidentally, would your rank entitle you to wear ermine?
