One state in the 80’s was concerned about its number of felony violations. It was soaring mostly due to GTA. So, they passed a law making auto theft a misdemeanor. Felony rates dropped astonishingly!

Sometimes the simple solution to a vexing problem is right there in front of us !!!!!

Yet vehicle thefts continued to increase. Going soft on crime does not somehow make it disappear.
