Should arsonist be registered like sex offenders????

With the rise in arson fires , there is discussion in registering arsonist. What are your thoughts. Do you have a known arsonist in your area. What about the new firefighters that you hire.How many of you have had one on your department ? How did you catch them? We had 3 " Kids " that were caught from our department and a surrounding department a few years ago. Kind of embarrassing.What about the penalties ? Should they be stiffer . I say " Throw the book at them . Chime in and say your peace . And most importantly , Be safe .

Absolutely, especially for repeat offenders. However, these people on this list should be convicted in the court of law and found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Hell yeah that is a great idea, would maybe help investigations when suspecious fires occur they would be able to pull profiles and see who is in the area and look into them at first., not saying put the blame on those individuals first but its something to look at and look into...
