It’s not the years-it’s the mileage.

I’m surprised it took this many posts for somebody to reference George Jones.

I saw an 18 year old riding a cart this weekend. Wasn’t overweight and looked very healthy. They should make them have a handicapped ID.

Never mind. What would the illegals do?

Gramps, I understand what Grand Theft happens to be. My quarrel is that too many things are felonies. $300 is a good grocery bill, IMHO, not a felony.

Walmart shopping carts cannot be wheeled out of the parking lot. There is a mechanism to prevent this/

But |joy to the world| it seems their electric shopping carts have no limit to their range except their electric charge.

Indeed. This is why we employ judges. They should be wizened enough to discern between felonious intent and sheer stupidity.

I would rather we employed legislatures who, as elected representatives of the public, passed specific laws.

Therein lies the rub of legislation. If a law is passed that is too specific, lawyers will show that their client is excluded due to those specifics. If it is too vague, a liberal judge will toss it due to not being specific enough.

This is one of the reasons Shakespeare wanted all of the lawyers to be killed first.

That’s one way to skip out on a bar tab.

That statute doesn’t have an inflation clause. Kind of like the Jury Duty pay statutes.

California has too many liberal cities/counties making basically any crime of theft not a crime and a misdemeanor.

This makes the simple act of parking your vehicle a danger to your vehicle and an open invitation to theft of parts or the whole vehicle.

The county of Sacramento started this non major crime bs a few years ago.

There was a great county park along the American river. We could go up for a few hours of fishing or a whole day and park our vehicle safely.

Shortly after the liberals started their policy of turning their heads, parking any vehicle could become costly, and the cops refused to even bother reporting it.

Besides stealing expensive fishing gear, the freedom for the thugs meant that they could remove your catalytic converters and not be reported. This happened to a couple of guides, who had their catalytic converters removed while parking in the park.

The same bs is now being done in schools where young thugs commit crimes and are not reported or followed up on. The shooter in Floriduh school was one of these thugs.

The NY City Broken Window policy still works.

I can see that, but the difference is willful ignorance. I am not espousing ignoring a crime, merely giving rise to scale and intent. Stealing a motorized cart from a store to go joy riding is not on the same level as breaking into a locked vehicle to steal it or its contents.

The decriminalization of various conduct is not helpful and I agree with NYPD on the Broken Windows policy, it does work. However, should someone stealing a Snickers get the same treatment as a Heroin dealer? We are headed in that direction.
