The officers of law enforcement represent their political bosses. They only represent law-abiding people to the extent that the bosses' goals and interests happen to coincide with the people's.
Consider also that both illegal drug dealers and legal pharamceutical manufacturers both have a considerable stake in keeping Prohibition II. There are many interests that favor keeping the Drug War, but that mean that it benefits the American people.
