This is a pretty bold statement. And as the poet said: “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”. Do you have evidence to back up your claim that low prosecution rates actually leads to more crimes?
Your current anecdotes sound like hearsay to me, I would need to see some credible sources before I can start believing them.

- kortilla 5y agoLol. Now it’s bold to suggest no enforcement of the law leads to people violating the law more frequently.
- runarberg 5y agoFirst you’re putting words in my mouth. We are talking about petty crime not the entire law, and we are talking about prosecution not all enforcement. Prosecution is not the only way to enforce the law, so nobody is talking about “no enforcement”. And the statement is because it is a falsifiable with no evidence to back it up. Wegner’s statement about plate tectonics was bold by the same measure (although he offered some evidence; but apparently not enough).
