I know what you are saying. I am not a prude or perfect. But overall people are trying to get away with what they can. At 20 years of age I walked out of a waffle house without paying. In a group of friends and we all walked out. Of course drinking was involved.I still feel guilty at the age of 42 over that incident and it kills me to pass a waffle house as it reminds me of being a thief everytime.
Most of us have something like that from our youth on our consciences.
But there is no equivalency here with that. The fact that many people are trying to beat it for selfish reasons does not make the laws Constitutional.
