California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Bachrach, 114 Cal.App.3d Supp. 8, 170 Cal.Rptr. 773 (Cal. Super. 1980):
Defendant notes, and correctly so, that strict liability offenses usually result in light sentences and are the type of crimes that do no damage to reputation. (People v. Vogel (1956) 46 Cal.2d 798, 801, fn. 2, 299 P.2d 850.) These factors do not define strict liability offenses. Defendant was convicted of seven separate offenses. He was placed on probation and ordered to pay a fine. We do not consider the sentence to be excessive, nor has the defendant supported by the record his claim that his reputation has been damaged.
