Don't Sneek Into Movies In Indiana

Felony is excessive.

However, I'd like to point out that this isn't a couple of teenagers goofing around, these are adults who know better.



Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Teenagers and kids know better too.

The police always charge the highest possible crime ( For Statistics) :-), The DA will decide if charges are to be filed and or drop down to Misdemeanor or even possible petty theft. That is some funny Sh*t, dam cheap as date, should have just bought the tickets LMFAO. Sounded like he was dressed like a PIMP, according to his description by the police. Should have had $13.00 dollars to spare.

without criminalizing the public how can we revoke their rights?

petty theft at best... but if we make it a felony then you cannot vote or own "baby killing fully automatic military style machine gun high capacity assault weapons"

see, we aren't wiping our asses with the BoR... we are just reclassifying your deviant criminal behavior.

THIS is what is going in (and has been going on for decades).

Its an extension of this scene from Atlas Shrugged:

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”

Add to that the idea of elevating the smallest misdemeanors to the level of felony and you'll have even those of us that claim to support the rights enumerated in the Constitution clamoring to strip most of the people of most of their rights.

Does anyone here honestly believe that these people deserve to lose their right to vote? Their right to defend their home from violent criminals?

They deserve to have to make restitution, pay a reasonable fine and maybe do a few evenings of public service and that's it.

[Ah Pook]

is there anyone in here who HASN'T done that as a kid????

When I was a kid, the cinemaplex consisted of one theater that showed the same movie over and over. So, not I never had the chance.

The cops should of made them pay for the movie tickets and another round of concessions. That would guarantee the couple wouldn't try that again.

[Byte Stryke]

Honestly, I could even see 14 days in the county... if they could prove repetitive intent.
maybe restitution, a fine, community service... but indiana has gone batshit crazy with the felony charge.


No, I did not forget to capitalize the name of a state

[buckshotbarlow]

[Irving]

I've never sneaked into a movie in my life.

[Great-Kazoo]

is there anyone in here who HASN'T done that as a kid????

Me. Bread runs, joy riding, drag racing, brawling with the jocks, cigarettes and buying liquor, yes. Movies no.

Felony theft as mentioned start with high charges and plea bargain. Either way it cost more to prosecute then slap them on the wrist.

Really the only crime i see committed was the Clothing worn, good god, RED & White , in the winter OMG
