To your last point, I guess I would say that it seems like it would put a heavy burden on the police to regulate all activity that we would make illegal. Can you imagine a beat cop driving his car out to the farm to verify if illegal antibiotics were being used? The example is purposefully ridiculous, obviously.
If we create a specialized arm of the police who specialize in things like air pollution, crops, etc, are we not just recreating the same government entities that are being railed against?

- hobs 13y agoCant argue with that!
- yummyfajitas 13y agoNo, because hypothetically we just did a mark&sweep garbage collection. The FDA/DEA/etc do all sorts of things - failing to regulate antibiotics, preventing women from purchasing birth control without a doctor's permission, sending people to jail for possessing herbs, etc. If we nuke it all and recreate the important bits, it's a great way to eliminate everything we don't need.
