Comments

Waldo Jaquith writes:

Theft is a misdemeanor, unless the thief uses an emergency exit, and then it's a felony? If it turns out that the guy was parked in a loading zone, is it a capital crime?

What planet does Dave Albo represent, again?

Jeremy Beales writes:

What is this for? Isn't it just a way to stealthily increase penalties for criminals who aren't dumb enough to walk out the front door.
