I think you get the crime you accept.

What does this mean?

It is a crime. It is prosecutable.

As I mentioned before, not all crimes that are committed are prosecuted. Cops and prosecutors have discretion to decide which crimes they will go after. You don't deny this, do you?

It is a violation of public decency. It isn't a waste of time any more than prosecuting pot or porn.

Is it more of a waste of time than prosecuting jaywalkers or those who drive one mile over the speed limit? I notice that as soon as I mentioned prosecutorial discretion, you made the leap from jaywalking and speeding to pot and porn. What happened to jaywalking? Incidentally, most porn in this country is legal.

I would venture to say you don't speak for as many as you think.

You may be right, but if the comments that have been posted on this thread are any indication, I doubt it it...

Me: I think you get the crime you accept.

You: What does this mean?

There is less vandalism where it is prosecuted. There is less litter where it is prosecuted. There are fewer speeders and drunk drivers where it is prosecuted.

There is less of nearly every type of crime... when is it prosecuted. Therefore, you get to keep the crime you accept.
