Way to Represent Lunch Money Theft
Two men approached a teen and held a gun aiming at the teen's head. They soon searched the teen's pockets, not caring of anything else, but a meatball sandwich. The two quickly fled the seen into a car, which the teen soon reported to the police. The cops soon found the thiefs and sent them to jail, ordering a $150,000 bail to be free.
This represents something we learned in class by the amendment of fair trial. These two men need a $150,000 bail to get out of prison, which shows the bail is under a reasonable price, showing stealing a sandwich instead of killing an innocent teen is a very big deal. The bail isn't an excessive fine, which is okay to the police and the jury and judge at the trial.
I have seen this happen on the news before. A theft for something not important. If your going to steal a sandwich while holding a gun to a teen's head and leave them with their phone is the most stupid crime I have ever heard of. Many people do it, and it is not cool. Go spend a couple bucks rather than going to jail for how many years. $6 sandwich is not equivalent to a $150,000 fine for bail.
My opinion is that these criminals are plain stupid. If I were to do this (which I would NEVER EVER do) I would be more careful. These criminals didn't seem to mind that they could have been reported by leaving a phone with a teen, and even not covering their licence plate. This kid was smart to act normal and to do nothing wrong to get him/herself killed. He/she was also smart to report the licence plate to the police.
