One of my law professors noted that in 1791, felonies MEANT something but that today more and more misdemeanors are being converted to felonies. :(
Its a scam...make the laws such that we are all felons waiting to be caught and then the government can take anyone’s rights away as they see fit. What this does is negate the constitution. No longer are we endowed with unalienable rights. We are now granted our rights by a benevolent authority until such time the authority sees fit to revoke them.
See? Nice little trick, eh? THere’s more than one way to skin a cat and there’s more than one way around a constitution and there’s more than one way to enslave a citizenry.
Depending on how fast and how they charge you, you can become felon for speeding.
