And you might say oh well speeding is speeding and it’s just a minor traffic ticket. But that’s the probable cause (it’s not but they use it that way) needed to justify harassing and snooping around or even planting evidence. It leads to probable cause based on a smell (he said she said, subjective). The traffic violations is the key to the ability to harass legally.

And you might say oh well they had probable cause to search a vehicle and find drugs. Well a person who has drugs or has committed a crime where no victim is identified or the person has not committed any sort of violent crime, sexual, or theft crime:. In other words, some type of drugs or weapons violation whereby the criminal has bothered nobody who didn’t consent to be involved in drugs or guns or whatever it is. These people should not have to be harassed in the first place.

If a drug user is caught driving intoxicated or selling to kids okay but there are clear cases where these people aren’t actually that bad of people and I have actually been an addict type or experimented myself. I don’t but even today; I know a plethora of straight up drug addicts (recreational or heavy users) who live totally normal lives. They are somehow able to control themselves somewhat. I know family men, I know a guy makes 150k+ and is a great father who like to party with hydrocodone or whatever he can find, for example. I work with a bunch of people that are even on drugs in safety sensitive areas and have no accidents. They also know how to hide it from their families so their kids don’t even know. And for the most part they don’t hurt society in the least; they are actually productive and responsible members of the community... believe it or not

It would be kind of mind blowing for somebody who has never been around drugs to see and understand. But it’s 100% true. Instead these people are seen as all horrible people
