Would you find that "most people commit felonies (without harm)" to be convincing evidence of policy flaws?

That claim is logically impossible. If most people were committing felonies without harm, that would lend plausible deniability to harmful felons, thus indirectly causing harm.

Or the claim is highly probable, if bad policy was systemically painting peaceful people as felons. If so, what then is the root cause of the harm?

Asking about the root cause of the harm only has meaning if there is harm being caused.
