I would love for the police to enforce the law strictly and uniformly. If the laws are bad, then we will change them.

- pnutjam 7y agoTrue, too often this discretion is only exercised for friends, relatives, and the powerful. Occasionally it gets extended to people who remind the officer of those people, because they fit the preconceptions or remind the officer of their own youth or family. https://genius.com/Dave-chappelle-killin-them-softly-annotated https://genius.com/Dave-chappelle-killin-them-softly-annotat...
- freedomben 7y agoI agree with you in theory, but in practice I wouldn't be so sure. There are plenty of people that suffer and have their lives ruined because they are the first victims of a bad law. The legislative process moves very slowly, sometimes it takes decades (look at Cannabis laws for example).
