Chapter 309: Extraordinary Times, Extraordinary Means
Yes! After hearing Chen Ran's words, Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Captain, I'm afraid this is not appropriate!" Our public security and criminal investigation team is a law enforcer, and if you ask me to formulate laws and regulations, isn't that Wang Po selling melons? This leads to the abuse of the rule of law! ”
Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but suggest: "I think it's better to separate law enforcement and legislation." ”
Chen Ran smiled helplessly: "Isn't it in a hurry now, and there is really no talent in this area in the team!" If you are a criminal policeman, you should be familiar with this aspect. ”
He then said, "Don't be in a hurry to excuse yourself. ”
Chen Ran smiled and continued: "I don't want you to completely take charge of the judicial department. I just want to ask you to help formulate a relatively complete legal provision, so that we can first have a standard for judging and reference. For specific legal rulings, I will propose a trial panel in the convoy. In the case of a case, whether they are guilty or not, and what kind of punishment they will be punished, will be judged by this trial team. ”
At this time, Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but suggest: "Then wouldn't it be better if we just used the previous law?" It's all ready-made! ”
He went on to say: "Relevant legal texts and books, when we have time, we can go to a random bookstore to look for them, and there should be them!" ”
But Chen Ran shook his head at this time and said, "Reference and imitation are okay." But in the past, we may not be able to use the old law directly. ”
He continued: "On the one hand, times have changed. Many of the things in the law in the past, we don't think we need anymore. ”
"On the other hand, because the previous laws and regulations were too complicated, we really don't have professionals who understand them. Even if there were, it may not be enough to establish a judicial and legal system in the fleet that is as good as it has been in the past. To put it bluntly, we can't play with the previous law. So it's best to have our team's own and relatively simple rules and regulations! ”
"That's just as well!" Zhou Hongyu finally nodded and agreed: "Okay then!" When we were in the police academy, we did learn all kinds of laws and regulations. The specific legal provisions, although I remember that it is not very clear. However, the general legal principles are still known, and it is not difficult to draft a document similar to rules and regulations. I just don't know if you have any specific requirements for the new rules and regulations, captain? ”
Chen Ran thought about it for a while, and said: "Since it is a troubled time, it is natural to use heavy canons. But try to use the death penalty sparingly. ”
He continued: "Nowadays, we humans are very few in number! Don't let too many people die at the hands of our own! You can use more compulsory labor reform, and even if it is serious, you can also reduce criminals to slaves, and let them be slaves for a certain period of time or for life! ”
"Slave!" Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't that just the restoration of slavery!" Will this work? ”
Chen Ran said: "In extraordinary times, we must use extraordinary means!" ”
"But of course......" Chen Ran continued at this time: "The slaves I am talking about here are still a little different from the slaves of the past. Slaves in the past could be bought and sold privately and owned by private individuals. But the slaves I am talking about here are actually just prisoners who have no human rights than forced prisoners! He was still to serve his sentence in a cell and be placed in forced labor. But they will be treated more harshly. The people who take care of them, if they find that they are not doing well, can beat and scold them at will, as long as they are not beaten to death or maimed. Therefore, it can also be said that they will become slaves of the public. ”
"This ......" Zhou Hongyu still had some concerns.
But Chen Ran continued: "Nowadays, our social productive forces have seriously regressed under the destruction of the catastrophe! I am afraid that the shortage of productivity and labor will be a problem that we human beings will have to face for a long time to come. In addition, those terrifying zombies are also threatening our safety all the time, making it impossible for us to live with peace of mind. ”
Chen Ran continued: "Under such circumstances, we can maximize the limited productive forces by changing the sentences of some criminals who should have been executed to deprivation of political and personal rights, becoming slaves, and allowing them to continue to work for mankind." At the same time, while minimizing the death penalty, we also need to have another form of punishment, which may be more deterrent than the death penalty, to prevent and deter crime. Slavery is one such deterrent. ”
Chen Ran finally said: "After all, slave life is not something that ordinary people would want to experience. It's not as 'comfortable' as a regular prison sentence! ”
Of course, Chen Ran did not directly tell Zhou Hongyu that slavery was actually very common in the last days of the previous life.
At that time, there were slaves in many settlements.
It is reasonable to be so-called.
What's more, at that time, so many end-of-apocalyptic survivor settlements would use this system.
That can only show that this kind of system, in the last days of the previous life, I am afraid that it is really necessary to exist.
The root of the problem is actually not difficult to find.
In addition to the appearance of zombies, in fact, the main reason is the spirit sac.
Because of the appearance of the spirit sac, the strength gap between people in the last days has widened.
Many strong people, or some people who have been slightly strengthened with spirit sacs, they are stronger than ordinary people, so they will maintain their identity and strength and do not produce.
At the same time, it is powerful and limited, so it will still be afraid of those zombies, and will not want to go out of the settlement to collect supplies and clean up zombies.
Then they are likely to cause trouble in the settlement, and at the same time bully the weak.
If you don't use heavy punishment, you can't suppress them!
Even if there is no such punishment as slavery. Some are afraid of zombies, unwilling to go out of the settlement to collect supplies and clean up zombies, and can't find other jobs to feed their own people. They will even take the initiative to commit crimes, and then have the settlement authorities arrest them, and then take the initiative to arrange jobs for them.
This has resulted in high crime rates and overcrowded prisons in settlements.
Going to jail can be a pleasure.
With slavery it was different.
For some serious crimes, and for some recidivists who commit lesser crimes, they can be reduced to slavery.
That is to be beaten and scolded at will, and they can even be forced to go to the battlefield, and there is no human rights at all.
In this case, everyone will be more afraid.
Therefore, in the last days, heavier criminal laws and slavery are indeed necessary.
