They're violating just laws formed by the citizenry.

Who really formed those laws? I don't remember voting on militarized police waging a full-scale war on American citizens and locking up millions of people for victimless, non-violent "crimes." More and more the law is bent to the purpose of protecting and enriching unions, their hacks, and the beneficiaries of their political contributions; rather than protecting liberty and property.

Did you know that it used to be illegal in New Hampshire to consume an alcoholic beverage while standing?

It's not illegal in New Hampshire for a woman to go topless, just as it is not illegal for a man, so no law is being broken by a topless woman. But the police choose to arrest her anyway. How is that just?

How does having an open can of beer, rather than an open can of Coca-Cola, demonstrate contempt for one's neighbors? Is it because the color of the can is blue instead of red, or something? Before Gary Gygax came along, D&D used to mean "drunk AND disorderly," a just law forbidding an actual crime.

In California it is illegal to be merely intoxicated in public, even if all you're doing is sleeping it off or muttering to yourself. I got kicked off a jury pool ("jury stacking," in other words) because I had the gall to express doubt as to the morality and righteousness of that law. No wonder the prison guard's union presides over a $10 billion prison industry in the state.

And how does smoking a cigarette in public demonstrate contempt for one's neighbors? People do it all the time. In fact, thanks to John Lynch and the rest of the Democrats, smoking outdoors is now required by law in New Hampshire if you're not at home.

The voters through their elected representatives.

Full scale war? Hysterical hyperbole.

New Hampshire Title LXII, Chapter 645:1 prohibits “Indecent Exposure and Lewdness.”

It violates the law.

And how does smoking a cigarette in public demonstrate contempt for one's neighbors?

Do you mean a joint?
