Answer 1

Police officers are sworn to uphold the law, and if you break the law, even if you think the law is ridiculous and even if you are hurting no one, you are still subject to the penalties that come along with breaking those laws. It's a black and white issue - police officers cannot ignore the fact that you are breaking the law. If you have a bad attitude or are a perpetual offender, there is far less of a chance that a police officer will choose to be lenient with you.

Answer 2

I just love these questions... they all have one thing in common, poor spelling and grammar.

That tells me only uneducated people dislike the laws and police.  

Answer 3

Sounds like you don't like having to obey the laws enacted by your State legislators.

Instead of complaining about the people who are employed to enforce these laws, maybe you need to learn a little about how to change the laws you think are unfair to you.

Law enforcement officers are doing their job.  When you mature a little more, you might realize this.

Answer 4

we don't make the laws the government those we just enforce them.

Answer 5

The POLICE are doing their job enforcing the Laws.

Answer 6

all i know is if you havent done anything wrong then you have nothing to worry about.

Answer 7

You posted your question in law enforcement.  That is the job of the police, to enforce laws.

America doesn't care about you being out past curfew on a personal basis.  However, your local government cares if you get into mischief that can cost tax payers money.  If you get murdered while out in the dead of night the investigation by police and any subsequent attempts to convict your murderer will cost money that tax dollars must cover.  

As to your under aged drinking and smoking in your home that is an issue your parents must undertake.  However, if someone chooses to report them for neglect (which it is if they know about it) then they'll need to hire lawyers for their defense.

Why aren't you in school today? If you get a chance at choosing an elective take a civics class.  

Answer 8

Its illegal PERIOD.  Its not your call to decide when you can break laws, buddy.  Its our job to PROTECT and SERVE, and you can't just do whatever you please.  Hooked on phonics could work for you, give it a try.

Answer 9

Basically it comes down to this:

There are many people that think it is up to an individual to make his or her own decisions in regards to things that are not directly hurting anyone else.

Then there are many people that think they have a right to make a decision for other people because they think they know what is best for them and everyone else.

Law enforcers and law makers tend to be the second option.

Answer 10

cops are on a power trip.  the more things they get to control the more work for them.  job security

Answer 11

Complain to the law makers, cops just enforce the laws they pass.

Answer 12

sounds more like a statement to me than a question. When you grow up and mature a little, you might understand why the police are in everyone's business.

Answer 13

After reading your diatribe a few times, I have an answer for you.

America really doesn't care if your dead or alive.

And we are glad you didn't hurt "noone", and noone is glad too.

Ever heard of Spell Checker?

Answer 14

rules are in place for certain reason. primarily to keep people like you off the streets. if you took the time to research why there is laws like that, you might not be asking such a stupid question. for instance, drinking, you eventually could hurt yourself in an accident or someone else. and cops do their job based on the authority we as a society have given them, so quit bit-ching and chill the f-ck out!
