The average professional in this country wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague. In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate reveals how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior. The volume of federal crimes in recent decades has increased well beyond the statute books and into the morass of the Code of Federal Regulations, handing federal prosecutors an additional trove of vague and exceedingly complex and technical prohibitions to stick on their hapless targets. The dangers spelled out in Three Felonies a Day do not apply solely to “white collar criminals,” state and local politicians, and professionals. No social class or profession is safe from this troubling form of social control by the executive branch, and nothing less than the integrity of our constitutional democracy hangs in the balance.

Great Read and very informative.

Great Book for understanding how arbitrary and unfair our Legal system is. The federal prosecutors have a higher conviction rate that Nazi Germany. And the prosecutors have immunity and can do whatever they want.

Three Felonies A Day

Byn2lek2lon March 15, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is a book that everyone in the USA should read.
Every word written is true and frankly even a little understated, I do not know why the author was so conservative and can only guess that if he had been any more matter of fact and pointed in his representations relative to just what is happening and has been happening in the country today that most would not believe it.
The constitution and the country are in serious trouble, many will not understand this trouble until they find themselves in the cross-hairs...by that time it is too late.
Its the things you do that you don't have to, which determine the difference when its too late to do anything about it.
If you wake up, and leave the safety of your home via foot, auto, internet or telephone, you better understand that you are potentially a target, regardless of your intent. Read this book and when you do not believe what its communicating to you (and most of you will not)remember this....there are people right now, today living every single word of it, there are families torn apart and living it and there are those who are doing the ripping that do it everyday for sport. This is a serious book, written by serious people about serious subject material and you better get very serious about whether you want to watch TV and let the cancer spread or you want to do something about it.

America... watch your back!

ByKindle Customeron September 7, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Our justice system is a mess and this book proves that with great precision. The deck is stacked in favor of prosecuting attorneys who will many times stop at nothing to win a case, using draconian laws and misinterpretation of engorged criminal codes. The number of felony convictions has soared and any citizen can be target for such a charge (FYI I am a person who was) as civil liberties and rights are going the way of the dinosaur. This book has a powerful message... mainly being "watch your back!"

Great book ABout How Broken Our US Justice System Really Is

ByJohn Ron February 3, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is a great example for anyone to read who is interested in how really messed up our country's justice system is. It will help explain to anyone who has unfortunately been targeted by this system or has a family member who has. It will explain just what these headline grabbing, career padding back stabbing prosecuting attorneys around our nation are really doing. This should be required reading for all voters.

Did you know that you commit like three major crimes every day

ByReverend!on August 26, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Did you know that you commit like three major crimes every day? Like somewhere it's written that if you didn't read this review it would be punishable by a fine, or the death penalty, or something. Wait, I just wrote that there.

And that's pretty much how so many laws get on the books - some jackhole just writes it somewhere and somebody else stamps it, "LAW". You should read this book to find out all the middle steps and what you can do to avoid committing crimes you didn't even know existed!

Thought provoking, brilliant and scary

ByK. Ungeron October 23, 2009

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book was recommended by a Federal Judge at a conference on ethics. It is a scary, insightful indictment of criminal prosecutions and the growing trend of prosecutors and judges encroaching on the legislative branch's power to enact laws through manipulation and overreaching interpretations of vague federal laws. It is not only a MUST read, but it is a MUST act upon as well. Kudos Silverglate!
