Introduce law and systems that allow the people to hold Judges accountable

Introduce law and systems that allow the people to hold Judges accountable — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

I think we are all due a law and systems that allows the public to hold Judges accountable for terrible sentences given to criminals. This just isn't working anymore and we need a change. Let's hold them accountable for releasing criminals back into society without an adequate sentencing.

Additional details

I want the public to be able to vote to hold judges accountable for abysmal sentences for crimes commited. For example: if someone was to violently attack an officer, and was given a get out of jail free card – I think the judge is due to either lose their job, or face substantial jail time for negligence. Having criminals within our community doesn't help anyone, it destroys not just the trust in the justice system, but the trust in the police as well. Give us the power to curtail injustice.
