I agree with your position. In many states, #3 is a felony. But besides being a financial burden, there’s no incentive not to reoffend. In Fl, the first is a second degree misdemeanor punishable by 60 days. (Trust me, personally I’m glad that’s the case). But I agree, if we ramp up the first offense punishable by 11 months, 29 days, the first would probably be less likely to occur(deterrant).
I love living in Williamson County. Putting the “punishment” back in “crime and punishment.” Don’t break the law here or you WILL pay.
To the south of us in Travis County they would have given him a new car (hybrid) and a box of wine.
