And the interesting thing is, the laws are even still more draconian than in Western European countries, booking processes more traumatic, prison terms longer, prison conditions an order of magnitude worse, and supervised release much more onerous.
And yet Western Europe doesn't suffer anything even close to San Francisco's crime levels.
- dannyw 5y agoProbably because the police actually investigate cases in Western Europe.
- alanfranz 5y agoThey won’t investigate petty thefts. Bike theft is almost legal in Italy. But they will file a report every time.

Is it in those places? > booking processes more traumatic Subjective nonsense. > prison terms longer, prison conditions an order of magnitude worse, and supervised release much more onerous. In SF, theft does not receive "prison terms".
