So you're saying that drunk driving laws don't work. And you're right.
Drunk driving laws are just ways for the city to make money off of people. That's why they have lowered the blood/alcohol level so far that you can use Listerine mouthwash and blow "drunk".
So they pull over thousands of people and ruin their lives and bankrupt them.
Meanwhile, the REAL drunk drivers continue to drive completely wasted and kill people. Half the time it seems they have already lost their licenses and are driving with no license, no tags, etc.
Guess what? Criminals don't obey the law. They don't care about the law. They never have and never will.
That's why what you said happens all the time. And the "law" doesn't stop it one bit.
All it does is punish "normal" people.
Just like gun laws.
Criminals don't give a fuck about any law. Only citizens who AREN'T criminals will be affected by any law.
It's kind of a conundrum.
Think of the 2257 law.
It was supposed to be a way to stop underage porn from being shot.
But guess what? Legitimate people never shot that shit anyway (not on purpose...Traci Lords used fake ID and would still get away with it today).
And perverts shooting underage shit? They STILL shoot it.
But how can that be? There is a LAW after all.
Yeah, and the only peope suffering from that "law" are the legitimate people. We have to keep all these fucking records and worry about having our doors kicked in by the govt.
The bad guys shooting that underage shit? They don't keep ANY records and stay under the radar.
That, unfortunately is how it works. Criminals break the law and don't care about it. While the good guys are burdened by the law.
The problem with our society is all of these "preemptive" laws. Trying to stop crimes before they happen.
It leads to a fucked up situation all the way around.
Here's an old-fashioned idea: Instead of trying to preemptively enforce "laws"...how about waiting until somebody actually DOES something and then arrest them and punish them for it. (that's what always happens in the end anyway)
I know, I know....that just sounds crazy.
