Let’s say that I agree fully with this analysis, and I pretty much do, what is there in a violation of the loosie law that would justify a forceful takedown of a violator in lieu of say, issuing him with a ticket?
There is something to be said for proportion and common sense. None of which I saw in the videos posted on line.
Blackstone had quite a bit to say about positive law, and the basis for its validity. When positive law deviates from the principles that give it force, then positive law loses its claim to "moral high ground."
And it only has its practitioners (the judges, mostly) to blame.
