The concepts are good, but in a system perverted from justice, you cannot trust the laws to be enforced correctly or legislated properly. Like how copyright has been perverted into virtually nothing entering the public domain for a couple generations thanks to Disney.

sorry I was agreeing with you, just adding a quote about how “binding” only works for what the law says should be bound

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

Good advice is always contemporary.

what was the community/instance?

actually after looking at the rules, I’m surprised too. maybe the mods just saw the advice dog thumbnail and moved on

Hate speech aside, feds that encourage a system “of the people, by the people, for the people” are okay with me.

Particularly in instances where you cannot verify the authenticity of the officer, such as no-knock raids or being grabbed off the street.
