I'm happy to blame congress and others for creating the terrible policy, but that doesn't let the DEA off the hook for the practices they're describing here. An agency or officer that's justifying their actions as "enforcing the law" had better be talking about the every bit as important and legitimate laws that limit their activities and powers, as well as the criminal statutes. Otherwise, they're doing something else besides law enforcement.
