In Cal, he should be forced to use the device 8 hours a day for a year, in public street.

\"the court also vacated an 8- to 12-year prison sentence that had been
given to Bertram.\" Lol..

Laws in the US are primarily designed to punish the poor and/or mentally
ill. His main crime was stealing only $500 worth of leaf blowers instead
of 500 million which would have put him solidly in the \"too big to fail\"
category. Then they would have let him help write the next iteration of
leaf blower security legislation.

But I agree with the court. Using tax payers money to feed him in prison for a decade is just a waste. Using the device in public street for a few years would be much better.

In some sane societies a return or replacement of the misappropriated
property, plus enforcement of payment of an appropriate rental fee,
would be considered adequate recompense.

At least for my part when it comes to certain simple crimes against my
property, money really does heal all wounds. I don\'t want the fine to go
to the state, I want the fine to go to me!

In Seattle, they would have done nothing and let him keep whatever he
stole.

In Las Vegas, the police would arrest the guy and keep the property. Years ago, my laptop was stolen by someone I know indirectly. I heard that he was arrested, but I never got back my laptop.

In Cal, he should be forced to use the device 8 hours a day for a year, in public street.

But only at public level 2 charging sites.

That\'s what they said about Bernie Madoff too, right? Too big to fail! I guess that\'s why he never went behind bars.

Or blow at Tesla. This morning, there were 3 cars at the L2 chargers. A was not charging. B was charging. C, a Tesla, was looking around. I told him to just move A plug to B and take B plug. He only took B plug without moving A plug. After a few minutes, he said he was going to a real charger. I took B plug. When B driver yelled at me for taking his plug, i said someone else moved your plug, without replacing it with A plug. That someone was the stupid Tesla driver.

Yes, it\'s all because of the Tesla driver.

common sense.

Yeah, I *think* one has the right to use deadly force to even protect
your property. Some years ago, a man shot and killed a thief who was
stealing the tires off his car in his driveway. No charges were filed.
But, again, that was some time ago and I am not current on the laws
here. I have heard that we are now an open/concealed carry state. I
don\'t think many people carry here.

Court Lets Local Thief Off Because He’s Friendly

https://www.sciotocountydailynews.com/court-lets-local-thief-off-because-hes-friendly/

Who\'s to say he wasn\'t going to bring it back?

Laws are established by legislative enactment. Criminal law requires very strict criteria, called elements, which must be met before a suspect can even be charged, much less tried. The Supreme Court was correct, as they usually are when it comes interpreting the codified law ( that\'s the formal statement of law on the books to you ). The act was a misdemeanor, not a felony.. The county prosecutor was a hick who didn\'t know what he was doing. Or maybe he did know what he was doing and just wanted to score points with his constituency.
