The truly disturbing thing is that the felony charge can destroy peoples lives, and destroy peoples attempts to even run a normal life.

I couldn't work my job with most felony charges, because I'm in construction and I work on other people's property my employer can't have me on payroll unless I'm bondable. If I have a criminal conviction my job is in danger, but if it's for theft I'm gone and I'm either forced to work under the radar or find a new job.
