I don't think making such a public comment is a wise idea in a surveillance state. I also think stealing is wrong whatever is the reason[1].

If speaking my mind gets me thrown in prison, I'd rather stand by my beliefs and be proud of them then to lie and live a hollow life of subservience.

I was thinking the same thing.

I assume it's a crime to talk about hypothetically committing a crime?

I also don't live in a surveillance state right now.
