Of course he was wrong.

But there has been a creep upward in what felonies are these days.

over the past 40 years relatively mild infractions have been added as felonies. One would have been laughed out of court for some of the crimes charged as felonies now.

Don’t be bad is easy to say. But in the world, life happens and life is hard which is why stupid things like trumped up charges for minor infractions are more totalitarian rule.

In reality, there has been a dumbing down of the law.

Burglary of a vehicle used to be a felony, rightfully. Now it’s a misdemeanor.

The values required for theft to be a felony have steadily risen, much more than the rate of inflation.

I don’t know where you get this contention of your.
