minus-square Endorkend ( @Endorkend@kbin.social ) linkfedilink39•1 year agoBetween highschool and starting uni, I did a small stint as a cashier. I called the cops on two people, one was stealing beer, the other some keychain. Both cheap items, but not necessities. I saw multiple people steal baby formula and diapers and there wasn’t a bone in my body that even thought of calling the cops on them. The first are stealing to steal. The later are stealing to survive. Imho the law should make a clear distinction between the two too.
minus-square Tyfud ( @Tyfud@lemmy.one ) linkfedilink2•1 year agoAgreed. Though judges have some leeway here, there’s nothing official that would give them an incentive to treat the cases differently other than their moral compass.
