[QUOTE="MLR, post: 1622484, member: 2176"] If this person you stopped was breaking no law what id the problem? Did he harm someone? I agree that he had the ability to break the law but do we really want to criminalize what a person "[B]might do[/B]"? This same logic is what drives most laws. We cannot allow people to own weapons because they might harm someone. We prohibit certain substances because of what a person might do when under the influence. As a free person we all have the ability to do great harm. There are laws on the books to punish those that do. That is the way our laws are meant to work. Now society has decided that prevention is the way to go. To do this you have to remove the ability to commit a crime. You have to remove the freedom that allows the person to make his choice. You must remove that freedom from everyone, not just the bad people, for it to work. Michael [/QUOTE]
