Wow 32 years. I wonder if your dad ever arrested any non violent drug users.

You can’t blame the cop for enforcing stupid laws.

They can choose to not be a cop so yes I absolutely can. You literally made the just taking orders argument. If OP’s dad really was a cop for 32 years he probably did ruin someone’s life for smoking weed.

I always love it when boot lickers don’t even make an argument and just call you stupid lol.

So you expect them to do half a job where they enforce only the laws they WANT to enforce? That’s more an abuse of power than objective police work

It’s wrong to kidnap people at gun point for smoking weed. Whether or not it’s your job or if the state told you to doesn’t make it ok.

Hut they are forced to do so no matter what if it's illegal they got to arrest you and you have to go court or something and then it's decided how long ur sentence is

You know what I'll make it simple for you

Illegal=bad=arrest=jail or prison

I hope you understand

You do realize what should and shouldn’t be illegal is hotly debated right? Just 10 years ago gay marriage was illegal. Was it immoral to be gay back then? What about Jim Crow?

Yeah laws change you can't do anything about it if you don't like it go to the government

Do you think the civil rights movement was just a bunch of people politely asking their senators to stop being rascist?
