So, if you want to walk out of Best Buy with a $450 TV, with a little meth in your pocket, spraypainting your tag on the window as you leave, then drive away recklessly with a suspended license, eluding the cops before you crash into a mailbox and resist arrest (without hurting the cops), all the while posting illegal flyers on the mailboxes you didn't hit...you can walk away with a slap on the wrist.
