In the eye-opening exploration "Three Felonies A Day," acclaimed author Harvey A. Silverglate exposes a disturbing reality of the American legal system: the unwitting transgression of federal laws by ordinary citizens. With a keen eye and meticulous research, Silverglate delves into how the vast expansion and vagueness of federal criminal laws have ensnared unsuspecting Americans in a web of potential legal jeopardy, simply through their everyday actions. Through compelling arguments and illustrative examples, the book illuminates the disconnection between modern federal statutes and the foundational principles of the English common law tradition, revealing a prosecutorial power that is both unchecked and dangerously broad. This thought-provoking work not only highlights the proliferation of federal crimes into the Code of Federal Regulations but also addresses the implications of this legal quagmire for the integrity of our constitutional democracy. Silverglate's critical analysis offers an unnerving look at how the ambiguity of current federal laws leaves no social class or profession safe from the threat of prosecution for innocuous behaviors, fundamentally challenging our notions of justice and personal freedom. "Three Felonies A Day" is a clarion call to reassess and reform the paths through which laws are created and applied, urging a return to clarity, fairness, and the protection of civil liberties that are the cornerstone of a democratic society.
