At least the crime rate is lower here. Jesus Christ you guys are apparently savages.
DEFINITION: Note: Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence.

Numbers mean nothing unless they're broken down. What percentage is drug related, what percentage is violent crime etc? We have a shit load of laws so more crimes to charge people with.

Surely out of that many laws, at least one must outlaw exaggeration.
It's funny because, of the more commonly enforced laws, many exist only to make a criminal out of an otherwise honest man.
Edit: and by funny I mean tragic
