"Warning" is the theme for this week's Illustration Friday entries- something I wish more coppers would do in our police state. In a capitalist country, nothing is free and everyone has a quota including our police forces town to town and state to state. "I'll let you off with a warning," is a phrase which has practically disappeared over the past couple of decades. It's all about the money, kids. Lawyers, court fees, fines, probation fees, even racking up a daily tab by being imprisoned by the state are all forms of government fund raising.
My illustration for this week is "Bad Pig, No Donut," which comes from a small series I made for the 2009 Southern Low Brow Extravaganza show [click here for more about the show.]
The US has incarcerated over 1/2 Million more of it's citizens every decade since 1980 and the rolling out of the War on Drugs.
