If everything is a felony then what’s the point

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 14 points 11 hours ago

everything won't be felonies as long as rich people never go to jail for abusing kids with prolific paedophiles.

Felony depends on state.

Most are $1k, so is Florida.

And from this story I've learned that it only costs $800 for a Flock camera.

So in the vast amount of states, if you only break/take the camera, it shouldn't be a felony:

Destroying property is usually about the same limits state by state.

Obviously you want to research specific state/local laws, you know, because knowing is the half the battle.

Inb4 states and municipalities begging to pay $1000+ each to justify increased charges

Exactly, just burn it all down and go extreme if the punishment for anything is going to be equally extreme
