    The US has the biggest prison population in the world, per capita. I think we spend more than enough on "enforcement."

    that's not an enforcement issue, that stupid law issues. if your use drugs, don't hurt anyone, but get caught, that's not a prison offense. isn't this a large part of the prison population growth?

    I'm not up on UK cops, but we have enough issue with US cops, among them, they keep asking them to do more with less, which is a bad idea IMO.
    With over 80,000 cases of police brutality in Philly alone I think the cops are doing plenty.

    It's funny ... I've never had a run-in with a cop that has been anything more than professional ... of course, I don't do anything illegal outside of maybe speeding occasionally.

    It seems like the most ardent "fuck the po-lice" types are also the ones who do the most illegal shit. I don't think it's a coincidence.

    As for this "police state" mumbo-jumbo ... I would love for some of you to have to go live in a real police state. Americans are so fucking spoiled.

    Exactly. I don't know whether cops have become bigger pricks, because in a typical five-year period, I don't have any run-ins with them.
    I cannot come up with a new sig till I get this egg off my face.

    your post is full of ''i dont knows'' and ''maybes'' so your post has very little value except the last line. ''American are so fucking spoiled''. regardless of if this is true... which im in no way saying its not... do you think its ok to throw your hands up and say... this is as good as its gonna get... i think that type of thinking is why you may not have any knowledge on this topic...

    also... this thread is questioning laws and the society that supposedly created them...

    the police really arent the major issue... its the laws...

    some of these replies are confusing cause they have strayed from the real issue
