Agreed. Though judges have some leeway here, there’s nothing official that would give them an incentive to treat the cases differently other than their moral compass.
Wow! Easily accessible to be stolen? In my country, we have 2 sudafed formulas – the meth kind (pseudoephedrine) and a different type (phenylephrine). The meth kind is only available by asking the pharmacist and showing your state-issued identification. The other kind is freely available to steal.
Between highschool and starting uni, I did a small stint as a cashier.
I called the cops on two people, one was stealing beer, the other some keychain. Both cheap items, but not necessities.
I saw multiple people steal baby formula and diapers and there wasn’t a bone in my body that even thought of calling the cops on them.
The first are stealing to steal.
The later are stealing to survive.
Imho the law should make a clear distinction between the two too.

You probably also thought people were stealing Sudafed because they had colds.
This medication in most stores crap doesn’t exist here.
Ah. My point was that those are some of the easiest to resell. Sudafed is used in the creation of meth.

It’s that way here now. It wasn’t yet when I worked in a grocery store.
Another thing that barely exists here XD
Tell us you don’t live in Florida without telling us you don’t live in Florida.
Where is “here”? Because there’s plenty of meth in my location (I don’t do meth, I’m just aware of it).
While there is meth in Europe, there’s nowhere near as much of it anywhere in Europe.
Some countries have a rising meth problem, but it’s really nothing compared to the plague it is in the US.
