How much more is having their "crime" expunged going to cost them?

I see your point. In America I don’t think the prison system is very good. It’s not correctional at all. It takes people who made a bad choice and turns them into something much worse.

I think all nonviolent crimes can be dealt with a fine, or community service, or rehab, etc.

Sounds like a great way to appease fascists for decades for the sake of appeasing fascists.

Stupid question: why do they have to apply ? Why not remove it for everyone automatically ?

> Not to mention sometimes charges are stacked up to incentivize people to plea down to a lesser charge even if they couldn't convict

You mean nearly all the time. The cops will even lie before they even charge you with something. They'll tell you you'll be charged with 10+ things and say really nicely "but we'll just charge you for this 1 thing if you plead guilty".

ACAB.

30k isn’t much if the situation itself isn’t getting better.

This is federal level.

You don't usually get charged with a federal crime when a local cop arrests you.

Disagree. Possessing a plant shouldn't have jail as a consequence. But there are lots of cases of fraud that I definitely think should result in correctional action. I do think we need reform of how we view the purpose of prison. But Bernie Madoff should definitely be in prison for a little while at least. He should just be taking financial ethics classes and getting therapy while he's in there.

Highlight that the United States continues to underpay their workers is not uplifting news. Also it is not uplifting news that a kid raised 30k for him, that should be a slap in the face to everyone that we need to do something about this shit so it doesn't continue.
