Sure, at some point. A guy who's just flipping stolen goods going to prison though is just totally stupid. You'll accomplish the opposite of your goals - you will increase crime with that sort of policy. And it'll cost you more.
edit: To elaborate, the "at some point" is like... where a person has to be removed from society because they're an imminent danger to themselves or others.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoThat guy isn't just flipping stolen goods, he is providing an outlet for a bunch of people to go through the downtown Target and clear it out, those people often get into altercations with people who work at that Target and even customers like me. Oh, "did my kid look at that homeless guy (actively stealing Legos in the toy section) wrong?" is not something most parents want to deal with. We'd like our city back please.
- staticassertion 5y agoYou're not really saying much. I also don't want someone to steal legos, that isn't a controversial statement.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoPeople that fence goods are the reason shoplifting is viable. I think that is obvious, and why it shouldn't be allowed (and should be prosecuted).
