[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the Park Police were out there arresting UNC DINKWADs for letting Fido run around Battery Kemble with leashless abandon or impounding MD-played Lexuses that have run up thousands in unpaid speeding camera fines, would you still so be gleeful? It’s cute how excited you get when people are arrested for committing ticketable offenses you don’t partake in yet recoil in horror at the enforcement of other laws you willfully disregard.[/quote]

Yes, we’d still be grateful.   Arrest All Lawbreakers.   Happy?[/quote]

The average American commits [url]three felonies a day completely unknowingly.[/url] You personally may not be committing three felonies day every day but I would be willing to put money down that if "arrest all lawbreakers" was implemented unilaterally you'd be in jail sooner rather than later.

Our entire society is predicated on those authorized to commit violence on behalf of the state using good discretion in doing so. If they weren't allowed to we'd all be in jail.

A family of any color peacefully drinking alcohol in the park deserves that discretion. And if your only argument is "well they broke the law" then you deserve to be in jail right alongside them, because chances are you did too.[/quote]
