@PhilosophyExp yes exactly. I think back to when I was say 18 and imagine myself getting away with a crime but only being punished now.

@PhilosophyExp I feel so different now that it would feel really unjust. Almost like being wrongly accused.

@PhilosophyExp That doesn't seem particularly problematic for an utilitarian. The law increases utility functioning as deterrent. That's it.

@AlfredTarski I don't hold with utilitarian justifications of punishment: http://bit.ly/euACcU 

@PhilosophyExp Also, you at tn+m receive the beneficial consequences of what you did at tn, why not the negative consequences?

@AlfredTarski That question begs the question. My claim is that you didn't do it at tn - somebody else did it.

@PhilosophyExp I didn't mean to beg the question, I couldn't formulate it properly with twitter character limits.
