Jail Sentences - Traffic Law

Here in Costa Rica drivers are consider creative every time they take a car to drive and a pain for tourists and new drivers that can’t get use to the way we manage the driveways, this is part of a cultural behavior that we as costaricans get used to it, but it’s wrong! , ascending car accidents and deaths on the streets are part of this disease that keeps us as one of the worst countries to drive in.

But there still a way to make things right and the new traffic law in Costa Rica provides new monetary fines whoever violates it. As an initial idea the new law creates a license point system in which every driver has 50 points in their driver license and would be reduced for each violation until it gets to zero and lost of the driver’s license for 2 years. As well as many other restriction in some cases exaggerated but at least make us wonder for the real purpose of the new law, which is provide a mechanism to prevent and maintain a better behavior on the streets.

But probably the biggest enforcement is the No Drive Day in Downtown San Jose. The rule prohibits driving in the city on certain days of the week, depending on the last digit of their license plate. This decree which is supposes to expire before March 31, representatives of the Legislative Assembly said the president is expected to renew the restriction and take more aggressive steps to enforce it. Traffic police reported applying the new fines to 450 drivers who were not complying with traffic laws on the first day of application and 512 on the second. To help enforce the laws, Costa Rica Ministry of Public Works and Transportation is adding 400-450 new Transit Police officers to its existing 800 member force.

Even though Road traffic crashes are predictable and therefore preventable. In order to combat the problem, though, there needs to be close coordination and collaboration, and with the help of every diver, and to be conscious about the needs across many sectors and many disciplines.

Terrorism

Terrorism became well known after September 11, with the World Trade Center attack, but this problem had been part of the world scenario and human history since decades, the use of terror as weapon and as a way of manipulate the society. You don’t need to be a criminal or the stereotype of the man with the Muslim outfits to be considering a terrorist, dictators and often politic member use terror also, to make ideas in place under a deficient regime.

Nowadays ,terrorism developed into a risky business, a dangerous and very profit work that causes death wherever they need to act, and besides this dangerous business comes: drugs, gunrunning, internet hacking and all kinds of illegal threats that give financial help terrorist groups around the globe. Terrorism is also enforcing by publicity and the more publicity a terrorist group can get, more financial and logistic support can get among the enemies of the terrorist victim.

Terrorism is a conflict method that will survived and evolved as he continuing trying to adapt to the challenges and the new forms of conflicts, no place for early type of wars, with tanks and soldiers, but new kind of conflicts with high technologic methods and source of communication ways used against their enemies. This new use of technology can ensure terrorism a new way, even unexpected and most aggressive way of attacking, with extreme consequences, mainly because of today’s dependency to computers and communications systems.

There´s not a way to combat terrorism because it’s so complex and the acting way is unexpected and done by groups with roots all over the world, it can be done by a group or a specific person with an extreme motivation and rare goal. So, as globalization and technology, terrorism is here to stay for a long time as a way of war, or as a way to act against bigger and more develop opponents. The war of David against Goliath.
