The FDIC does not cover stolen funds.

Furthermore, the FDIC does not insure against loss of funds due to robberies and other thefts. Stolen funds may be covered by what's called a bank's Hazard and Casualty insurance, which is a policy a bank purchases to protect itself from fire, flood, earthquake, robbery, and physical damage. In those rare instances where a bank employee may tamper with a customer's account, the bank's blanket bond insurance (also called fidelity bonds) may cover the loss and the funds would be returned to the customer. Consumer protection laws such as the Electronic Funds Transfer Act offer protections if a third party somehow gains access to a customer's account.

How hard is it to not get caught doing something as minor as smoking weed

I dunno. I'm just saying, I do it alot too. Dunno if you could classify me as a pothead. But it really isn't that hard to avoid getting caught, I mean if you get caught....you probably deserve to go down for stupidity. Even then, I doubt they lock you up for a first offence, so if you get caught multiple times, well you're asking for it then

What the fuck does that mean?

What is the problem with you and pot?  People can do it.  I don't but I don't care if others do as long as they stay away.  It's marijuana not crack.

I don't think people get caught smoking marijuana as much as they get caught buying/selling marijuana.

Drugs are illegal.

Very simple, what's the problem with getting arrested if you do them?

I don't understand this policy of sending someone who is ill to jail.  F.i. Robert Downey was sent to jail several times for being addicted to cocaine, and the guy was raped in jail.  Is that a fair treatment?  No sir.  How many people are there in that condition in jail?

He said if someone "hacks" your account.

Federal laws and other protections may limit your losses if you fall victim to a bank fraud or theft. A swindler runs up a big bill on your credit card or steals hundreds of dollars from your bank account. Do you suffer the loss? In many cases of bank crimes, your liability is limited by law or industry practices to the first $50 of loss, but that depends on the type of account and how quickly you report the problem.

.. and if it's not the government it is usually the bank that covers you. You have to report it quickly and they will investigate it of course. If they don't you are dealing with a really shitty bank tbh. I have seen identity theft/fraud a couple of times personally.

If you do something illegal you deserve to be in prison whether it's a violent or non-violent crime, it's just ashame we have so many people in this country that can't follow the rules.

Well, there's more to this issue than the slogans you guys are throwing around.  What bugs me is the fact that the "lesser criminals" are just pushed through the revolving door at the police station after they steal someone's GPS from their car or get in a fight with a clerk at the corner market.  They are being rewarded by having that ever posthumous trip in the PD car downtown, then released 20 minutes later to brag to their friends...only because it's too much hassle to take a thug to jail overnight, or have enough evidence..or worse..there's no room at the county jail that's already overcrowded.

In my county, they (city council at the violent petition of the rich people of a few cities) turned down 3 minimum security jails spread out in the county....  Apparently they haven't been burgled yet and need to be.

Whoo! Were #1, Were #1!!

You can go to jail for smoking weed.  It's not stupid.  Follow the law.  or move to some place where it is legal.

So you agree with the rules even when they are plain dumb.

It's possession that lands people in jail. You can be high.. you just can't own or distribute it. Weird when you think about it.

How can you be high without having the cocaine?  Of course there's possession.  Cmon.
