In California, you can’t drink on the beach.
Except we all do, but we all try to hide it.
But I think it works out because while we’re all doing trashy things, overall the beach doesn’t look as trashy.
I feel like the law exists with everyone knowing it will be broken but working exactly as the law intended. Win-win.
- int_19h 2y agoThe problem with stuff like that is that you'll still have the law enforced, just in a haphazard way. So everybody is doing it, and most aren't any worse off for it, but some end up with their lives ruined, largely at random.
- treflop 2y agoThere is no world where laws exist that are not subject to that problem. Cops fucking plant drugs on people. Just because all locks are breakable doesn’t mean that you stop using locks.
- int_19h 2y agoIt does mean that maybe throwing people in prison for possession is not the brightest idea given how likely it is to be just some random guy who really didn't do anything that everybody else wasn't doing.
