RE: No Such Thing As A Victimless Crime?
I realize it’s not what the policy director meant when saying “there are no victimless crimes”, but I would have to say the statement is actually true in the sense that if there is no victim, then there cannot be a crime, thus no victimless crimes. If only the “authorities” would abide by this clear definition of what does and does not constitute a crime.
it isn't clear if he meant in general or pertaining specifically to the retail crimes, I took it to mean in general and aside from him there are others who have suggested the same, still those retail crimes do have victims and who would say otherwise? 🙈if violating a law on the books, even without an obv victim, i doubt they'd agree that it doesn't constitute a 'victimless crime', I think they mean they see every 'crime' as having a victim✌️
How does that old saying go? When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. They have the hammer and they are looking to nail everyone they can.
But of course theft, of any kind, has a victim and is a crime. ✌️
