I'd rather they be treated as many American's are when they have their first encounter with police who believe they committed a crime...that is rarely aligned with a presumption of innocence.
You aren't wrong in a theoretical sense, but I am all for equality before the law as a precursor to due process. Due process without equitable treatment means very little except to those at the top.
Selective enforcement of a shitty law is arguably worse for society then across the bar even enforcement of that law. In the latter case, there are less groups that will prevent change.
no...I very intentionally did not say that. I said that until everyone is treated with some reasonable equity the distinction between shitty and better is academic because the better never trickles down.
