The Point System
In
the year 2015, a civil attorney, Rick Meyers reads the L.A. Times' headlines
article of the June 3rd issue. In the first half of the year crime
has risen 1000% due to the ongoing financial crisis. People are desperate and
are committing crimes at alarming rates, and the prisons are swollen with
over-population causing criminals to be pardoned at alarming rates. Rick
finishes the article and throws the paper to the ground. He is a passionate
caring man in his middle 30's, with a fiercely independent nature and a strong
commitment to justice. Despite the senseless murders of his wife and infant
child, despite witnessing the horrors of everyday life outside his office
window, despite the frustration he experiences to appropriate new laws against
the new criminal elements, Rick is determined to find answers to stop the
demise of the city.

report to processing centers to be tattooed with laser bar-codes. The bar-codes
are placed on the left wrist and contain every bit of personal information
possible-birth date, employment history, criminal record and 1000 points. Every
crime is a certain point deduction.Murder is the maximum 1000 points. The guilty are
automatically terminated. No appeals. No second chances.
