Interesting. I think part of the fundamental problem is that more criminal activity advances the careers of people who work in the criminal justice system. They have an incentive to turn small crimes into big ones. Then they cry about how much crime there is. Then they demand harsher penalties & laws to criminalize more things. This is a positive feedback loop. The system has gone out of control.
