Defying Obama, law enforcement arrests 1,100 gangsters

This type of inaction when it comes to law enforcement pisses me off.
Instead of saying, "We're not going to prosecute these crimes" they should remove them from the books if they're serious about eliminating low level crime.
By not prosecuting these crimes, they're still crimes that can be selectively enforced to antagonize someone who the police or DA don't like.
Drugs crimes in particular should be eliminated, but you'll never see that. This is a great way of pandering to minorities while not actually doing anything. "See? We love you unlike those evil Republicans who actually enforce laws!"
This is exactly what they did in the Soviet Union to get rid of dissidents they didn't like.

I would say this fits into some sort of election cycle.
Say, six months to a year before an election you tell the cops to go easy on the scum. On paper the number of crimes drops. You can claim you're winning. Eventually the crime spikes due to growing disregard for the law and you crack down again, but not until after the election.
Second City Cop on Blogspot provides a great insight into this kind of nonsense. The latest scam is to require police to fill out ridiculous amounts of paperwork for any kind of simple interaction with the public. As a result the police simply turn a blind eye to anything short of murder.
Hey presto! The statisticians come to the conclusion that petty crime has plummeted yet scratch their heads as to why murder and aggravated assault have simultaneously risen.
I have even seen this play out in a major city in Australia, where the police were so slow and useless that people no longer bothered to call them. The politicians trumpeted the apparent vanquishing of crime, despite it being worse than ever.
The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

I agree, selective law enforcement is more intimidating to me than draconian laws. There are hundreds of laws on the books to charge you with if 'they don't like you'
There was a guy arrested yesterday who was potentially going to go on a shooting rampage. Guess how/what they busted him with "possession of a firearm while having a potential drug dependency" What kind of craziness is that? The definition of trumped up charges.
Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing? Psalm 2:1 KJV

They should bring back private prosecution. Anyone should have the power to submit evidence of a crime to a judge and have him put out an arrest warrant. And if the police won't enforce that warrant, private citizens should be able to apply for the right to enforce that specific warrant and bring that person to the court. The same should apply if the perpetrator is a police officer. There was a good case not too long ago in Australia of a man successfully prosecuting a cop who beat him up without justification, and naturally the government got upset and wanted to change the law so people can't do that.
People forget that the law and the police are two separate things. The police are merely a
dedicated law enforcement service. That doesn't mean they are the only rightful enforcers of the law. The state want to make it appear otherwise, since increasingly the state makes the law something
it does to other people, instead of a system of
neutral conflict resolution.
We should go back to stuff like this:

^^^ Precisely.
I don't think we have this in Australia any more but they have it in New Zealand.
Recently some stupid bitch journalist wanted to engineer a beat-up story on guns so she organised to buy one through the mail and faked a gun license number.
Well it turned out she got incredibly lucky and the number was a legitimate one. The gun turned up at her house and she took delivery of it, unboxing it for the cameras with the best "this is how the world ends" face she could muster.
Of course, despite breaking a law that would land anyone else in jail for years, the public prosecutor of that liberal lala land shrugged his shoulders.
Fortunately however the gun store decided to push the issue and had charges pressed against her. While she'll get an open-and-shut case with a wholly suspended sentence it will open her up to a civil case for damages which will be what really fucks her in the end.
The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.
