Does it cross anyone's mind that laws like these that are "broken" in the first place are wrong and should disappear

Laws that dictate my personal conduct, when it doesn't cause anybody else harm, go against my personal liberty.

If I walk down the street and sip from a bottle I hurt no one yet could be arrested for it.

the system is flawed from the start you can't fix it at the end of the cycle, you need to eliminate the stupid liberty invasive laws, then the problem will be solved.

Funny how the left is outraged at invasions of their private liberties, but advocate the very same thing to be done at the same time(preferably to others).

If they have over a million active warrents maybe they should wipe thier police departs clean and hire some people that can read the address on arrest warrants.

If you seriously think policemen enforce every law on the books every time they see one broken you're sadly mistaken. Cops use judgement calls everyday that's part of what makes a good cop is knowing when a violation is worth a arrest or ticket and when it's not.

If you seriously think it's OK if police officers simply ignore the law then you're sadly mistaken.

Minor offences being marijuana possesion,speeding, disturbing the peace etc then the financial resources to pursue that would not be worth it.but however referring to another post about sipping from bottle,while walking down street. If everyone did that along with speeding etc we have a dangerous environment. The laws are in place to prevent stuff from happening. Situation where your damned if you do or dont.
