Lake Tahoe resident could face prison over tree removal
By Todd Milbourn Wednesday, April 9, 2008

Environmental cops at Lake Tahoe say Patricia Vincent deserves a prison sentence and a huge fine.
Her alleged crime: chopping down three trees on federal land that improved her backyard view of the lake.
Vincent says it was an honest mistake, but now she's believed to be the first target of criminal charges of illegally cutting Tahoe trees.

Yep, our prisons aren't crowded enough. Plus, tax payers like footing the bill for housing these violent and deranged criminals.

Why not just the fine's and some restitution, and a little community service by way of tree planting? How come our socities first thought is to lock 'em up?

Remove two trees, go to prison. Home school your kids, go to prison. Grow a few pot plants, go to prison. I am really disliking the state of California more and more.

How about just being made to replant three mature trees at her expense?
