I mean, how does somebody who's only 4 foot and change work the pedals AND steer and see out the windshield? Now I have to go rent a Stallone movie and see how he did it.

A little scary, but the kids got stones and clearly is pretty darn sharp.

This kid is quick on his feet. "I'm a dwarf." He has a future as a lawyer...

In the States the kid would be charged with theft and the parents with endangerment for not securing the keys

Gotta feed the judicial system with a revenue stream

Haha I assure you that the prosecutors aren't that hungry.

The courts are overwhelmed and particularly on the civil side, everyone is doing their best to keep things out of court/away from trial.

Alternative dispute resolution options such as mediation and arbitration have never been more popular. Almost everything settles before trial.

And rverything generates revenue
Fines
Fees
Pay the lawyers, arbitrators, etc
Pay for drug tests
Home monitoring
Incarciration reimbursement

People have been charged for letting little kids have access to guns

10 year olds have been maced and arrested for acting out in school

That never hapened 30 years ago

Follow the money

Yup. Watch the movie "The House I Live In" about the 'drug war' and the privatization of the prison industry and you'll see why the US has more people in jail per capita than any other nation on earth. Its pretty clearly laid out, and with creditable sources.

14,000,000 million arrests last year
Not counting traffic related

Scat01

So 4% of the population was arrested, seems rather low to me....Nearly twice that amount in prison per capita in the good ole USA.

and some of those people arrested more than once, Im sure. Great movie though. I highly recommend it.

8% in prison?
Thought is was 2 mil ~1.4%

Either way the system has been corrupted by the hunger for profit
