It has the same vibe as checking the skirt length of a rape victim, or checking into the sexual history of someone beaten up for being gay, just to be sure they really were gay.
- legolas2412 8y agoWearing short skirts is not a crime, but slaughtering cows, transporting and selling beef is (in that state). I do not agree with the laws, but the police should dutifully follow the laws.

This leads to several miscreants doing all sorts of bad stuff. So the police is spread thin and you want them to go after dead people for allegedly eating beef? What kind of mental gymnastics do you do?
- legolas2412 8y agoBesides the murder, the police might also be interested in finding the illegal slaughterhouses or beef sellers. Is following the law mental gymnastics? Should I curse the police for following procedures and investigating crimes, even if I disagree with them? What if police decided that it was spread too thin, and did not stop me being lynched?
