Carter correctly points out that the massive growth of
criminal and regulatory law means that almost anyone can
potentially end up in the same situation as Eric Garner.
So does Carter and author suggest reducing the number of laws? Or should we just take it that law enforcement abusing power causing deaths are inevitable?
- latch 10y agoQuoting the article, quoting Carter: Libertarians argue that we have far too many laws, and the Garner case offers evidence that they’re right. And in the same paragraph: But fewer laws would mean fewer opportunities for official violence to get out of hand.
- devy 10y agoRight below that quote, it reads: the scope of government regulation has grown so great The unfortunately reality is laws are only growing NOT reducing.
