Rationale

Victims deserve real justice, not empty rights. Plea bargaining, weak bail rules and weak traffic enforcement undermine fairness and safety for all.

Proposed Changes

1

Victims' Rights
Previous law
Right to be informed and to make an impact statement
Victims are formal participants, heard on plea, sentence and parole

2

Plea Bargaining
Previous law
Regulated: sentence discount capped, judge must approve
Prohibited; every case goes to trial

3

Bail & Pre-Trial Detention
Previous law
Risk assessment decides release
Detain everyone charged until trial

4

Traffic Enforcement
Previous law
Fixed cameras and a points system leading to disqualification
Automated enforcement everywhere: every offence detected and fined automatically
