By Peter Parrott The old adage that crime does not pay will be all the more true if a proposed tax on criminals is introduced introduced by provincial governments. But it seems doubtful that the suggestion suggestion of the federal-provincial task force announced last week will ever work. Even law-abiding, God-fearing citizens have a hard time coping with the annual tax load. So how can the government hope to collect from murderers, armed robbers, and con artists? And what will the government do to the offender who fails to pay his bill? He could be thrown in jail, one supposes, but chances are he is already already there. Will the armed robber be forced to hold up another bank or variety store in order to meet the demands of the tax man? Like many government schemes, the idea has a certain amount of merit if it is not looked at too closely. But upon careful inspection, inspection, its benefits evaporate into thin air. Since the project looks good on paper, it will earn the government a few bouquets. Everyone is in favor of compensation for victims of crime. And to compensate the victim victim at the expense of the criminal would be a great idea but only in theory. In practice, the plan won't work. In effect, the provincial-federal task force has been attempting to institute a user fee for the courts. User fees may work fine for "Cadillac" services provided by the government. By this, we mean services services such as sports, recreation or adult education. User fees may be justified here because people can choose whether or not they want to partake of these "frills". But user fees for essential services services seem rather ridiculous. You might just as well place a tax on welfare recipients as on convicted criminals going through the courts. It seems to us that the only person who would have the ability to pay is the offender who might.find himself himself in a criminal court for the first and perhaps the only time in his life. This person could probably cope with the tax. But is he not entitled entitled to the use of the public justice system when he pays his regular taxes? Repeat offenders would merely tie up a small bureaucracy with the task of tallying uncollectable fees. We seem to recall that there are already systems in place under which the victim of a crime can be reimbursed by the offender as a result result of a ruling by the courts. Perhaps it is this concept which should be followed because it can be tailored to an individual case. It would allow the courts to compensate compensate the victim wherever possible but would not force them to attempt the impossible task of imposing a blanket tax on all offenders. In view of drawbacks such as the ones we have mentioned here, the proposed surtax on criminals should not be implemented until the obvious flaws have been ironed out.
