They already have felonies as convicted crimes. So disclose them. Misdemeanors is like not liking to watch movies, not willing to go to bars, smoke marijuana etc. Again it becomes a misdemeanor when public finally listens to them and does what they want like above. After that, there is a new fine system, they drank more than two pmts and started walking on their footpaths, urinating in the public, not giving alms to fellow homeless etc. that was what it was like in the last country. No need to disclose misdemeanours when not convicted.- just for laughs and gags!!
