- josephcsible 5y agoWhy does it matter whether it's a misdemeanor or a felony, if Chesa is going to drop the charge either way?
- michaelmrose 5y agoAt some point the government actually has to enforce the law. There is no system that can be imagined that obviates that.
- josephcsible 5y agoThat's exactly my point. But once we have a prosecutor who actually prosecutes criminals, then the crime levels will reduce without needing the phone ID system.
