Here's a hypothetical situation that will give you some perspective to consider:
Eating unhealthy food with a high fat and sugar content in your country is highly illegal. In this hypothetical country you live in, the offence of eating unhealthy food is a felony and punishable by time in prison. This law makes sense: It's for the good of the people. It's a victimless crime, but the war on unhealthy food needs to be enforced or else society will become so fat the entire system will collapse. People will be gorging themselves on big macs instead of showing up for work. Think about the children! The kids will get so fat they'll be unable to find a partner, and won't be able to get a job. People will become addicted to unhealthy food and permanently damage their bodies, causing them to die early.
We need to ban unhealthy food, and throw all of the law breakers in prison like they deserve.
It doesn't matter if you disagree or not, it IS illegal.
The US law where homosexuals were locked in cages less than 15 years ago, where their are still homosexuals in cages and under other punishments for actions that would have been legal if they had been heterosexuals (one example a child molester in Georgia who would have been protected under Romeo and Juliet laws had the young party been a girl instead of a boy). We still have a justice system where owning certain plants can get you years if not decades locked in a cage. If you smell any BS around here, I'd think the natural source would be the legal system.
Listen we are talking about two different things and that's my point. I don't care about moral judgements. This is about reality - if there is a law on the books, right or wrong, and you knowingly break that law, will you be surprised when law enforcement comes after you? This is about personal responsibility. You make a decision and you pay the consequences, right or wrong.
