    I can probably come up with a dozen felonies and goodness knows how many misdemeanors I’ve committed in my life, and I’m definitely not a menace to society.

    None of these are violent or sexual in nature.

      Exactly. The worst thing that most people do as far as common laws are concerned is speeding.

      The real bad things that happen that are rarely enforced is spousal and child abuse, religious abuse, abuse from certain authorities, etc. These destroy lives.
