Ignorance of the law is no excuse for serious criminal behavior. But with more than 300,000 federal crimes on the books, anyone can be prosecuted for almost anything.

Two huge wins for
#cjreform in Virginia.#HB256@mikemullin4VA and#HB995@joelindseyva90 passed the House. Reserving felony charges for only large thefts over $1000 and having student behavior handled by the school instead of the legal system helps fight#overcriminalization. -

Unbelievable. An 11-year-old CHILD plays make believe in a park. Adults freak out and call the cops. Kid gets arrested AND CHARGED.

4/4 Suggestion #4 for addressing
#Overcriminalization in NC: Eliminate multiple overlapping crimes covering the SAME conduct; it leads to unnecessary complexity (& cost!) & potential for arb. enforcement & coerced pleas. One crime w/right punishment & we're good to go! -
3/4 Suggestion #3 for addressing
#Overcriminalization in NC: Eliminate duplication. Ex: We criminalize larceny. We don't need SEPARATE crimes for: stealing pine needles; portable toilets; political signs; milk crates; gas; public records; wills; ungathered crops; and ginseng -
2/4 Suggestion #2 to address
#Overcriminalization in NC: Regularly review laws & repeal outdated/unconstitutional ones. Ex: GS 14-184 "If any man and woman, not being married to each other, shall lewdly and lasciviously associate, bed and cohabit together" it's a Class 2 misd. -
In 1972,
#Pennsylvania has 282 criminal offenses but today the state has more than 1,500. This places significant leverage in the hands of prosecutors and erodes the right to a trial for those charged with crimes.@aclupa#overcriminalization https://live-aclu-pennsylvania.pantheonsite.io/en/publications/more-law-less-justice … -
Pass a new criminal law-the solution to every problem! https://bit.ly/31oJ89H Seriously, though, this is a perfect example of redundant crim law that punishes already criminal acts. & who is "news media" & who gets to decide? What a terrible idea.

What is
#overcriminalization? Every day, Americans unknowingly walk through a minefield of criminal liability: Hundreds of thousands of federal crimes. And overzealous prosecutors stretch the law to obtain as many criminal convictions as possible. https://twitter.com/Heritage/status/1163849512043057152 … -

THIS. Also I think it is worth noting that there are so many laws, covering so many aspects of life, that everyone has probably done something that an overzealous prosecutor could charge as a felony. We are all “felons”. Most of us have not been convicted.
