Wow, a felony? I know in a number of states you can get a misdemeanor for bad speeding, but a felony without harm, or endangering or dui or anything likd that sohnds extremely heavy. Which state is that?

In a case like that it may be worth the cost of the legal fight to get it expunged.

That is presuming they could afford that cost. The effective purposes of the system are to keep the lucrative private prison industry flush and to maintain what Karl Marx called an "army of surplus labor" to keep wages low.

Was he endangering the lives of others? Was it his first time?

was it speeding plus reckless or evading an officer? If not, what state will press felony charges for straight up speeding?
