MODERATORS
That's not true. Corporations can't commit crimes because they are just legal entities. People commit crimes.
Your main issue is that many things that you think are crimes (dumping waste, not paying employees, stiffing suppliers, accidents) are not crimes. They are civil or regulatory issues. If you care, you should pick one and lobby your state to make it a crime.
The US Supreme Court begs to differ:
The list goes on.
Again, the US federal and state governments would like a word. There's not a locale in the country that considers theft and intentional illegal pollution not to be criminal acts with fines and, for natural person, imprisonment as punishments. However, you are correct that accidents are generally not considered crimes, although penalties may still apply if they were the result of carelessness or neglect.
