[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 601858, member: 60724"] Caymen says: Then you LET ME KNOW when that happens, Caymen, because I think it is WRONG too. But, luckily, that isn't what is happening here. Instead, they are arresting people that are DRUNK, not simply those that DRINK! Or, in Ohio do people ONLY drink to get drunk? Caymen also said: That's a bad analogy. A better one would be: "It's just like having a law against illegal drag racing and having the police go to a secluded country road in which highschoolers have drag-raced for years, and start giving out citations for the first time." In your analogy it is legal to drag race on a designated drag strip, thus it wouldn't make sense to give citations, I agree, but the real world counterpart is Public Intoxication, which IS illegal. In my analogy, it is illegal to drag race on a public street, and just because officials have held a blind-eye to it up until now, doesn't mean they can't/shouldn't start enforcing the law....just like PI in a bar.
