You can bet the day I am all doped up driving my bike down a one way street the wrong way I'll expect the full force and might of our government to crack down on me. Rats like this don't belong among free men.

While at the same time the law is being applied to you for pedaling a bike down the street the wrong way, 45 robberies, 15 rapes and 4 murders are being committed. What a great way to expend government resources. You do work for the government don't you?.

One menace off the street, three bureaucratic jobs justified.

Clearly you are ignorant (among other things) of the Broken Window Theory . Read up good man.

In the small town where I used to live ( less than 1500 people ), every cop on duty was present at a major bust: four high school kids caught with a pack of cigarrettes on the dash of their pickup.

While the town's finest were harrassing these kids, 3 of the towns business were professionally burglarized. Two of those businesses later closed, probably at least partially due to the losses and damage incurred in the burglaries.

All of the kids continue to smoke, now legally since they're all over 18.
