And as I said, it seems you simply have made up your own definition for what theft is and are arguing by your own personal definition it is not serious.
It would be like you saying that to you 'theft = pie' and no matter how any one else defines it, to you pie is just not serious.
It occurred to me that we are using a different definition of theft . I was thinking, "whats not to understand theft is theft, and I think it should be a non arrest able offense" because what I consider theft is theft as it is understood in Kansas.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/theft This link defines theft in the most broadest sense, not what I understand to be theft in Kansas. I think this link has the best definition, in broad terms, of what theft is from a single source.
Under the definition laid out in Brittanica.com, What I am saying is that people should not be arrested for
larceny. Under the definition laid out in my link, I think burglary and robbery should be arrestable, as I had previously stated. In many us states larceny and theft are used interchangeably and are a less serious offense than burglary or robbery.
So using a more broader concept of theft than the one I use in Kansas, what I am saying is that I think people shouldn't be arrested for
larceny. I like Brittanicas definition better than the house ethics code because that version applies less to day to day or state law and more to maritime codes and stuff like that.
