If I was 79 years old and some idiot prosecutor convicted me I would laugh my ass off because I would need the free medical care they would have to provide.

There’s a reason governments in the US usually never send really old people and bums to prison, there’s no money to be had, just expenses.

Yup. My former employer hired a print salesman who was down on his luck, and old German guy who never really recovered from a nasty divorce. He was sleeping in his 20 year old mid-sized Dodge, with expired registration and no insurance. Rockford, IL police pulled him over, and decided just to leave him be, that no good purpose would come of sending him to jail, and a few paychecks later he had a place (and I presume) a registration/insurance.
