"Why do you believe someone else has more standing than you do in deciding what side of the road you drive on? Why would you let someone else, at the point of a gun, tell you which streetlights you must stop or drive through?"

Because the obvious safety of others is preserved by a simple, non-invasive agreement on convention. It does not lead to wrong-address, no-knock armed invasions buy jack-booted LEO thugs and a general savaging of the bill of rights costing me 50 billion and still counting and over-flowing prisons which breed gang violence the pours back onto the streets with no measurable advantage or benefit flowing to the tax-payers.

The difference between my question and your unworkable analogy should be obvious. Isn't it?

Would have been better for you to put what I was responding to above my quote to see the context of the appropriate post.

For the safety of others, we ban recreational drugs. It ruins lives, families, costs us money in hospitals, rehab and burials.

As far as your seeming loathing of the police, don't you get that they can make mistakes in good faith once in a while?
If they do real harm they compensate, but that is very rare. If it were bad more often we'd have the druggies post every one of the stories here on FR.

I like no-knock to be in effect whenever there is suspicion of criminal activity where there is possible guns behind the door. I do not think the police have to commit suicide by law to defend us.

Over flowing prisons are a great indication IMO of failing families and what single parent households have helped contribute to in modern society.
It also says volumes about our problems with illegals since over a third in prison are NOT Americans.
