Reply to comment by 973reggie in Holmdel proposes fines, jail time for attempted car thefts by double_chicken

I don't know that I'm acting like anything. My statement is based on what I perceive the town's goals and intentions to be. They are frustrated with vehicle thefts / prosecution or lack thereof, and this is a solution they are trying out. I've offered no opinion on what is right or wrong, and I added that the town's purported ability to sentence people to jail for an ordinance seems fishy.

It seems like you would like the towns to have more say.

In this case I think parts of the ordinance are likely overbroad and could be considered unconstitutional. I understand the town’s frustrations but I’m not sure this is the solution.
