I refuse to live in a world where everybody ignores lawbreaking because it is the “polite” thing to do.
If you saw someone stealing a coat from a rack at a shop, would you “stay quiet”?
What if you saw someone doing graffiti? Or stealing a car? Or driving the wrong way down a one-way street?
OR are we supposed to judge each law as to it’s “sincerity”, and only act against people who are violating the “real” laws.
I’ve seen a lot of stupid people confronting people over stupid things. A few weeks ago I watched some guy scream at another guy for “cutting” in line to get popcorn at a theater. And the cutter then got in a pretty loud argument with him, and there was name-calling, and I was glad in the end I didn’t have to physically intervene.
But I see nothing wrong with a person who has a mother who needs a handicap space walking up to someone illegally parked, and telling them that they are breaking the law and shouldn’t be taking up the handicap parking spaces.
That’s one way of looking at it, one would suppose.
