    It has been proven time and after time in history, that ANY criminal justice system is just a political tool for the elite ruling class to suppress those who try to unseat them.

    It's not just that one example:

    Oh, and, by the way, turning everyone into a criminal, overly harsh sentences, overly broad and vague laws, and the massive increase in law enforcement power are what the right wing is going.

  7. Re:The problem is thieves. Get rid of them. by sco08y · · Score: 0 · on New Cable Designed To Deter Copper Thieves

    In case you hadn't noticed, everything is a felony these days.

    But I agree that a second conviction for theft should carry a very long sentence. Many crimes are crimes of passion, committed under circumstances that are unlikely to be repeated - and many more "crimes" are not really crimes at all - but theft has real victims and thieves have a very high recidivism rate. If there is one crime that we should punish with very long vacations from polite society, it should be theft.

    To be clear, I think Silvergate's drawing attention to a real problem, which is why that title bothers me. Presuming that he's putting his best case forward, the title is complete bullshit.

    The site promoting the book briefly explains how a person commits "three felonies a day".

    Unless the "average American" (I take average to mean typical, not statistical mean) is routinely importing goods, wandering around wetlands, lying about their sick days, receiving classified data, talking to the cops, etc., it's hard to see how he or she is committing three felonies a day. You can even have a drug habit without committing a felony in many cases, and that's probably the worst area of law enforcement overreach in society today.
