Aumento de multas y penas en Minnesota

Explicación Simple

Desde 1983, si alguien comete un delito que antes tenía una multa máxima de $1,000, ahora puede recibir una multa de hasta $3,000. Lo mismo pasa con las penas de cárcel, que pueden ser más largas.

Es como si un restaurante decidiera aumentar los precios del menú. Si antes un plato costaba $10, ahora puede costar $30, así que los precios de las multas y penas son como esos nuevos precios más altos.

Ejemplo Práctico
