RE: Simplify laws: No Victim, No Crime

I've often asked people "what do you think about a law that permits arrest even do you didn't harm anyone or damage any property" natural answer is that absurd!

Then I say what do you think drinking and driving is?

typical response "oh oh well I'm for that law"

I'd reply but even if no one is harmed and no damage to property?

Best response "well it's a deterrent"

What most call "deterrent" I call an OVERREACH!

It's not a popular stance but I think it is a great example of countless commercials and programming.

I do not support anyone driving when they can barely stand (I'd call them idiots really) and if they do harm or damage while intoxicated, the book should be thrown at them! Like you've stated @dwinblood there are already laws for that!

It doesn't change the fact that people get arrested and can pay hefty prices for causing no harm or damage! Also we are individuals that handle alcohol differently as well!

Always great to see others not scared to bring up unpopular subjects :)

Resteemed and well done!

You and I agree completely here it seems. :)
