Funny? Or Unwarranted Entrapment?

You won!! And when you go pick up your free tickets you get busted for delinquent child support!

I have mixed feelings... in one sense it's really funny, but then I find myself wishing they had nabbed violent offenders or armed robbers instead of someone behind on their bills. But maybe that shows that I may view defrauding child support as a lessor crime - and of course I don't!

Like I said, I have mixed feelings. You?

I feel it is tough on both the payer and the payee with child support. Now the ones that just don't try or take responsibility, get them in any way necessary. I like the wage garnish, but some just work jobs that don't do that. For the ones that divorce and remarry and have more kids, then say they can't afford child support for their other kids, tough, you should be able to support ALL your kids. But, if you're in jail how are you going to pay? And when you get out after paying usually BIG fines, how are you going to pay? Bottom line: support your kids!!!!
You're point about other criminals, they do that sometimes, also.

I remember when I paid mine to the bitter end. Even though she wanted and had another man I still paid dearly. They had a great time buying 4-wheelers and cars with that money.
If you would have come to my house and looked in my refrigerator you would have thought I was fasting.
But praise the Lord, just like Job i have been blessed five fold in all things and her and her lover later turned husband is now with another and she also after she got out of jail for drunk driving...
But I believe whether law or not it is the responsibility of a man to take care of his children..

He who laughs last..... lol

I only have a few years to go myself. It is a bit irksome knowing I pay a but load of taxes, write my check to nice child support people, she gets it, pays NO income taxes (because of the earned income child deduction tax "credit"), and gets her nice multigrand welfare, errrr, "tax refund" check every year.

Yes that's true and also in this state the guy has to provide health insurance as well..
It's almost like, we're the ones to blame, which might be the case, but a lot of the time it is the female who tears the marriage up also.

the thing I don't get is if they put them in jail how are they going to PAY the back child support??? yeah Hoovie, mixed feelings here about it too.

There is that. It is the last true case of debtors prison in America.

I am a very strong law and order guy and have no problem tricking deadbeats like that. What I did see recently that bothered me somewhat was a reality tv show I ran across called "bait car" where different urban police departments drive a car to a rough area and leave it with the engine running and I think maybe even the door open.

It is pretty obvious if you take a nice car to the ghetto and leave it alone with the engine running it is going to get stolen pretty quickly. I tend to think that is inapropriate because it is tempting people to commit a crime who otherwise would not have done so (at least not until they found a real idiot who would leave their car alone and running). I would rather see cops out spending their time busting criminals who are actively committing crimes on their own.

CC, i love those bait car vids, they are great! There are some real losers that get busted, very few that did not need removing off the streets!

Isn't a hot undercover "hooker" tempting people to commit a crime too - specifically men? I mean, most hookers in the getto have meth teeth right? So when one doesn't it's like the guys have hit a jackpot!
