Not fair. It means idiots who type "how do I hide a body" get caught, but smart types from HN can hide their traces. In a fair society, both dumb and smart criminals should have equal chance of getting caught. Imagine, for example, if you could use Internet only after identification. And maybe there should be reduced punishment for dumb types for humanity reasons.
Absurd. Unrealistic.
Does everyone have the same earnings potential risk regardless of their skill? Same with stealing potential.
Edit: on the flip side, white collar crimes leave a paper trail that traditional smash and grab crimes do not, so more white collar criminals should be getting caught and convicted now.
