“It is not sufficient that he simply comply. He must also like it and declare so!”
Several years ago a Senator asked the Justice Department for a list of regulations, not laws, that required jail time. He wanted them broken down by level of government. The JD responded that there was no overall list and no practical way to count them. On cross the JD said that there were thousands of regulations requiring jail time.
An acquaintance was charged criminally for burning trash. The judge decided not to send him to prison as it was a first offense. But he ended up driven into penury because of fines and the state took his driver’s license because he couldn’t pay the fines. There’s even a $495 reinstatement cost should he ever get enough to pay the fines and penalties. Meanwhile, his whole family is now living off the taxpayer on various welfare. If he or his family need to go to the doctor they call 911 and ride in an ambulance to the ER.
To date, not one candidate has addressed this insanity. Jail for burning trash?
My wife was criminally charged for watering our lawn.
A guy living about a half mile from me was burning leaves in his back yard when a Deputy Sheriff drove up, handcuffed him and took him to jail. Yet the Mexicans burn leaves in their yards and no one in authority says or does anything.
Need more facts on that one. What were the weather conditions? What was he burning?
