Almost like selective enforcement of the law is a step towards tyranny and we’ve know that for hundreds of years.
- standardUser 5y agoIn the US, the police more than anyone decide who is a criminal and when, and it has always been that way.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoIn what way is that also not selective enforcement?
- readflaggedcomm 5y agoThe SF DA refuses to prosecute crimes. Police were still enforcing laws until they gave up.
- goodells 5y agoThere's a difference between "everybody jay-walks so the police always have an excuse to pick you up" and violent crimes that the community as a whole notices go unpunished by repeat offenders.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoSo to OP’s and my point, are you saying “everybody steals cars in WI” or are you saying that their DA doesn’t prosecute anyone for auto theft?
