Which is why I've favored a requirement that all laws sunset after 20 years (maximum), and must be individually voted to reinstate at that time (no omnibus). Would hopefully force state/federal legislators to actually consider what laws are needed, and let the rest go.
Enforcement of petty stuff, while "the law", is very annoying and frankly intrusive to people who are mostly law abiding (like minor speeders). I really don't like police using those laws, and check points, to try to get the baddies. To me is it harassing and intimidating 99 to catch 1, and contributes to ill feeling toward both police and the law. |
Nobody is being
harassed. Normal people almost never get pulled over nor cited for some obscure violation of law. There's nothing illegal or inherently wrong about a check point either. They are designed to saturate and show law enforcement visibility/presence.
