There is a difference between jaywalking and grand larceny.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a very law-abiding citizen, and I've never consciously broken any law. I get nervous just jaywalking in Los Angeles!
I mean I've never been thrown in jail in New York or Los Angeles.
I think it's common sense to say that the longer away from a crime it gets prosecuted, the less deterrent effect there is.
Some laws of state aimed at curbing crime are even more criminal.
If you are a lawyer, and you want to take on easier cases, you can prosecute traffic violations or something. You'd have a very high rate of success, and you probably could sleep more easily at night. But that's not what drives me.
I don't know whether crime is dictating business or business is dictating crime.
Sometimes going to jail is just the price you have to pay for social reform or social change.
There's very little different between the way the government operates in America and the way criminals do.
I've been arrested many times for illegal high wire walking and illegal street performing.
Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
