Should Looting During Disasters Become an Instant Felony?
Looting during and and after a natural or man-made disaster is unfortunately becoming more common practice. Many people participate in the act, grabbing what they can from local stores and shops.
People found looting get charged with a fine and/or misdemeanors depending on what was taken. So when does a person get charged with a felony during looting?
When a person burglarizes a store and breaks in, allowing other looters to make their way inside easily, that person could earn felony charges.
Grand theft and the amount of items taken can also lead to a felony, such as when a criminal steals high-end items and expensive electronics or jewelry.
These are far more serious offenses than stealing some food because you were hungry.
Would you vote in a policy that would charge all looters with a felony during any state of emergencies or disasters?

Yea, maybe get all of the marijuana convictees out of jail, and lock up the looters instead.
