House Minority Leader Vincent Candelora, R-North Branford, presented a list of proposals that would increase penalties for stolen cars; mandate monitoring devices on juveniles; strengthen victims’ rights; make it easier for cops to search vehicles; and allow some fired cops to retain the certification they would need to find other jobs in law enforcement.

And then the usual Democrat responses. "Crime overall is down in CT blah blah blah"

Yes, the Democrats always gaslight us on the issues that they are incapable of dealing with due to their ideology, which is largely at variance with reality. They are doing this on a whole host of issues.

Bingo. They adore criminals, which makes me wonder about skeletons in their closets amongst those close to them.

Consecutive sentencing being the only duration allowed (not allowing concurrent) would go a long way in keeping these animals caged a lengthy amount of time, just as we cage animals who might harm us, at a zoo.

I'm waiting for someone to chime in and say it was the Branford women's fault for leaving her car keys and purse on the counter in her kitchen.

As if these criminals aren’t brazen enough, they now are stealing catalytic converters in broad daylight. Incredible! Jay

One of the safest towns in CT is Cheshire and even we're not free from property crime in broad daylight. These people are slick too. I don't recall reading any article suggesting a catalytic converter thief being caught.

Crime overall being down is not in itself a measure of success.
Is there an acceptable level of crime!?

Like the saying " It's a recession when your friend loses his job, it's a depression when you lose yours"
