It's the truth. Only a citizenry which has submitted to essentially arbitrary contraband law could tolerate, and even endorse such law enforcement practices by officers, judges, and state's attorneys.
It is Tyrannical in its essence, and no amount of rationalization can excuse it.
Maybe one day, law enforcement will refocus its efforts on actual criminals, rather than those declared so by an authoritarian State. And I don't care whether such a state is enabled via an empowered elite, or a democratic majority. It invites and inevitably leads to Tyranny, and anyone who doesn't realize that is willfully blind, IMHO.
Fixed that for ya.
You're welcome.
