This is the second time this guy has tried this legislation. Mandatory sentences are a bad idea in general. I can see this one leading to some 17 year old kid a dirt bike going to prison for two years because he was afraid of getting a ticket and tried to take off into the woods. Then we can send him to "criminal school" for a couple years so when he gets out he'll be a pro. This is truly a stupid proposal.
