Why isn't an offense for an officer to NOT pull someone over at 4pm for speeding?
Why are the police chasing petty criminals around at 2:15am instead of arresting wage thieves and union busters at noon?
What makes you think they don’t pull over speeders at 4pm? Spoiler alert, they do.
Why should the county arrest someone for trying to run a business? Do you see them arresting 7-Eleven owners because they are open late at night?
Can you better explain your point?
Selling drugs that should have been legalized long ago shouldn't be a crime. Someone out at 2:15am making a living isn't a crime unless you want to start arresting everyone running a business late at night.
Have you ever actually lived in an area with drug problems? I do. Yes, police should be seeking out and arresting them. The crime where I live, including violent crime, is out of control. Last year someone killed a toddler to hide drugs in their body. Twice, I’ve stumbled across young men who OD’d, including at the playground I was taking my kids to. Cannabis is legal here, and I’ve known a couple people with family members who struck pedestrians while driving high.
Even if drugs were legalized, zero reason for people to have a business driving them around. We don’t have businesses randomly driving people cigarettes and alcohol. There are regulations and licensing.
It’s not running a business. It literally ruins people’s lives.
If you legalized drugs no one would be killing toddlers to hide drugs. DUI is the problem, not the drugs. ODs from tainted drugs is due to an underground market that isn't regulated. Legalization would solve these problems. Arresting people for driving around at 2:15am isn't going to solve anything.

Shouldn't have been pulled over. Take down the plate number and mail them a ticket, racist.
Or, they could keep 35 fully automatic pistols off the street, unless you prefer to have these in the hands of criminals?

Is it highly focused on the White House then?
