However, some states have made sentencing for non-violent crimes so light that these guys are out pulling 5-6 burglaries a day. They don't care about being on camera and they shatter the lives of the people they burglarize. I'd be absolutely amenable to upping the sentencing for burglaries, but the way the laws are currently written these guys are literally stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars and getting two years of which they serve one.
That is not how our system works. People who take stuff don't get punished like people who physically hurt people. It's like saying that people speed and do it every day even with speed cameras with no regard for the law, so we should charge all speeders with vehicular assault to make sure they stop doing it.
