There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is in the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. And so we have cops committing crimes in order to solve them.
Young adults are like candy to our bloated criminal justice system.
It just can't swallow them up fast enough. They're mostly poor and defenseless. Federal statistics show that people in their late teens and early 20s have more contact with police than any other age group. They are the constant targets of bizarre new laws and oppressive police. They're mad, and rightly so.
