Imagine regular laws worked that way, where a prior conviction is only relevant if it was for the exact same crime, and you can go around committing dozens of crimes and be treated like a first offender every time because this time you chose robbery and last time it was theft.

- riffraff 3mo agoThis is literally how it works for most fines. You don't get a higher fine every time you go very the speed limit or park in the wrong place. You don't get a higher fine if you don't have a bus ticket. This is not a felony. Perhaps it should be, but it's not.
