according to many members of this board.

All the innocent young girl was doing was smoking a little marijuana in her own room. And I took her to jail.

Did you make her cry or pee her pants?

Oh. I thought this would be about some scumbag who fell down the stairs at the station. Twice.

Some would argue that doing drugs will ruin your life because you will end up in jail but really the law will be what ruins your life, not the drug itself. If left alone she would have a pretty good chance of being a good citizen. Now she has a record and is screwed bigtime. Good job...........

Same is true when you commit murder and rape people. It's not the act that ruins your life, it's those asshole policemen and pesky laws that insist on arresting you for it.

Not true at all. The girl was not hurting anyone or restricting the rights of others. If you rape or kill someone you are commiting a crime against another person. Smoking a substance doesn't do that.....why is this so hard to understand???

No no - I'm not trying to draw a parallel between the crimes themselves ...

Just pointing out that it's kind of a ridiculous argument that the people enforcing the law are to blame for the problems that people who deliberately break the law encounter.

I strictly obey the law. I don't have a problem with that, I don't see how the fact that I respect the law will be "utilized against me"

If you think you made some brilliant point, I honestly fail to see. I obeyed the AWB when it was on the books, and I will obey future gun laws. I choose not to be a criminial. YMMV.

The "American Way" is to make everything illegal, and then to selectively prosecute. So the discretion of the authorities is a huge factor.

We all probably break laws every single day, knowingly or unknowingly.

All i got tonight was some assshat with meth in foil taped into his armpit.

I guess you could blame me for ruining HIS life, but he's already had 6 arrests so I don't think I did that much damage.

Yeah. All the ARFcom legal eagles know the truth. It really is your option to look the other way. Every time.

You just chose to be an asshole, right? Nevermind that it's your fucking job to do it, and if you didn't, legitimate taxpayers would scream bloody fucking murder.

I thought that was the European way?

I agree with you there. I am super-anal about obeying the law (other than usually driving about 9 miles above the speed limit on the freeway) - but you are correct. There are so many obscure laws, ordinances, etc - that it is hard to live a "clean" life even if you try.

However, when it comes to felonies, I don't think it's that hard to avoid them - regardless of whether or not someone wants to presecute you.

More on topic - I personally think things like marijuana should be legalized. However, while it is still illegal, I have no sympathy for people who get busted. If you choose to break the law (even a misdemeanor) you should be prepared to take the punishment when if you get caught.

That's why we are a democratic republic. And that's what we have a Supreme Court for - whose only job it is to determine if laws are "wrong"

It is not the job of individual citizens to pick and choose what laws they feel like following, based on personal interpretations of what is "right" and "wrong"

That way lies ANARCHY.

Do you support the right of pedophiles to decide that laws about legal consent are "immoral" and want to have sex with 12-year olds? Of course not. As a free society, we agree on rules to live by - and to avoid anarchy we follow them. In our free society, free elections and the Supreme Court protects us from the abused of dictatorial and repressive laws.

I guess you'll just follow along.

So you're not going to answer the question then

I'll try again. If YOU get to decide what laws are immoral and wrong, does everyone else get that same priviledge? You are essentially saying that people should not follow any laws that they personally don't like, by the arbitrary standard of "immoral" or "wrong"

Is that really the society you want to live in?

If and when immoral laws become the only way to be legal (ie: forced chipping, etc) ), yes I'd be proud to be a criminal. I'd hope you'd be too.

No, of course not. However, there comes a time where governments and checks and balances fail.
Blacks weren't allowed to own fire arms under Jim Crow, yet they were hunted by the Klan. Their owning a gun made them a criminal defacto, and I applaud them at that time for being criminals.

There comes a time where social disobedience is the only way to maintain liberty and morality.

The only way I can see something like THAT becoming reality would be a tyranny, and no longer a free society.

Under a tyranny, OF COURSE there is no obligation to obey repressive laws. You are I are completely on the same page on that

However, in a free society, with universal suffrage, and institutions like the supreme court and a legal system that is accessible to everyone - I sincerely believe that individuals picking and choosing which laws to obey (based on arbitraty personal interpretations of what is "immoral" and "wrong" ) is the way to anarachy. In fact, that kind of attitude could very much destroy our free society and create a tyranny.

Read Plato's Republic - tyranny often results from a strong leader who is able to bring ORDER. If lots of people thought like you, we woudl be headed for anrachy, and tyranny would be the next step.

Congratulations - you destroyed a free society!

Just kidding - we're probably more on the same page than we realize, and are probably just arguing about semantics.

I agree with you.

However, if she is under 18, it will be wiped off her record, so it's not the end of the world.

Hopefully, it will not spoil her chances of going to school, if she had that as a goal.
