but I suspect there are tiers within the justice system. Just my opinion. (grin) And these can be found on levels from local to national. I remember as a teen, working for the grocery store in my home town. The mayor was very wealthy, and also had kleptomania. When he came in the store, a worker would follow him around, and list everything he was shoplifting. At the end of the month, they sent the bill to the fuel company he owned. On the other hand, a teenager who was caught stealing an 89 cent can of bean dip got three months in county jail.

It's not that in every single case that thinking applies, but in more than enough that it is an obvious pattern.
