Crime and Violence
Libertarians want a safe society where citizens do not feel that they are threatened by other individuals or by government itself. By focusing manpower on real crimes instead of prosecuting people for nonviolent, consensual crimes, police will be able to better protect and serve society.

The amount of our population that has served time in prison is growing more rapidly than ever before. Many of our population have had their lives ruined by being prosecuted and imprisoned by committing victimless crimes. A state legislature that is acting responsible in fulfilling their Constitutional duty must stop this dangerous trend.
The tenth amendment to the Constitution for the United States says, “The Powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively or the people.” The United States has no Constitutional power for their “War on Drugs” or “War on Terrorism”. A majority of prisoners being held in our state are Political Prisoners and victims of these wars. The Tennessee General Assembly must resolve to enforce the tenth amendment, within the bounds of Tennessee. This is the only way Tennessee can reduce crime. This is the only way we can stop the insane growth in our prison population.
