That sounds reasonable to me. I'd even believe someone saying it was 12 felonies per day on average with all the new laws and regulations that get added to the federal register.
Literally nobody on the planet actually knows every law on the books. The Federal Register as of 2023 had 90402 pages of laws and regulations published over that year and best I could find on the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is 200,000+ pages there. There is so much law and regulation on everything in America that I'm probably somehow guilty of a felony for just breathing air right now.
Anyway, if that Bill gets passed, we could end up charged with a felony if we visit site A (not a criminal offense to go here) and it had a redirect to site B (criminal offense) which your super helpful and efficient browser ( following the standards of internet https protocol) will automatically direct you to site B without you agreeing or even being aware it happened. But now you are communicating with a site that runs afoul of this new law and you get a felony, jail time and a fine.
So I've heard it said over the years that the average American commits 3 felonies a day (unknowingly and rarely enforced).
It's looking like if they pass S 686, we might have to change that statistic to the average American commits 1 felony per every 3 seconds.
Last I was aware I thought it was between 5-6 counting technical violations of State Law.

Yet the let criminal out within moments of capture.
