    If they ever get put in front of a judge for any kind of criminal behavior, it’s another thing they can be slapped with if the judge wants to throw the book at someone (frankly its low hanging fruit in that regard). Up to 250K fine, 5 years jail time, plus a felony.

    If required to register with Selective Service, failure to register is a felony punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or 5 years imprisonment. Also, a person who knowingly counsels, aids, or abets another to fail to comply with the registration requirement is subject to the same penalties.

      Someone elsewhere said the penalty was only if you did it on purpose. Not sure I buy that, but maybe.

        It probably is, but It’s still not worth giving judges more ammo. The whole “only commit one crime at a time” thing.

        it’s their job to be meticulous and a good chunk of them are petty rich fucks.
