Excessive Criminal Laws Trap Honest American Businessman
Loading...
Uploaded by HeritageFoundation on Aug 8, 2011
http://www.overcriminalized.com | Florida seafood importer Abner "Abbie" Schoenwetter spent years in a U.S. federal prison for supposedly violating the laws of Honduras... even though the Honduran government proved he was innocent. In an appalling miscarriage of justice, Schoenwetter lost his thriving business and years with his family. This shocking true story warns of the U.S. government creating new criminal laws that affect every American -- a problem known as overcriminalization.

Love it when a 'dark' thing replies to a top comment with a Ridiculous idea!

@giwannabe13 Okay, that argument won me over.

@3martijns We all need the freedom to import undersize lobsters and harm vulnerable ecosystems in violation of treaties. That is what our founding fathers fought and died for.

@darkhawk123 youtube debates are pointless.

1. Honduras changed the law after the conspirators were convicted.
2. In the pictured shipment more than 11K lobster tails were undersized.
3. Several lobster tails had their eggs removed (in violation of fishing laws).
4. The entire argument that he's a victim of "over-criminalization" is nuts. Drug dealers are just as much victims of "over-criminalization," as are assassins. Those are good paying jobs that the government just prohibits with "over-regulation" (read law-enforcement).

This sort of thing happens more than you think. Look into the books "The Tyranny of Good Intentions" and "Three Felonies a Day" for starters.
