You’re such a fricking moron.
The morality of society decides what is a criminal act and what isn’t. That can change with the changing values of a society.
Take marijuana legalization, for example.

Lets say a drug addict has gone to jail a few time for theft.. and as you say, they might be liars and cheaters
How many times do you think someone should be able to steal from you before they are locked away for good? What did they not learn the first few times in jail about stealing? frick a thief, and that has nothing to do with their drug habits. And by liars and cheaters, I mean people who don’t honor contracts, just as bad as a thief.

Maybe get out in 9 or 10 years and then put back out on the streets or do you think jail should focus more on rehabilitating?
Spending 9-10 years in jail should be all the rehabilitating that a person should need to know not to do that again, I don’t think they need a special course.

Private, for profit, prisons absolutely have incentive to keep people in jail. That likely drives feedback to law enforcement to keep the conveyor belt feeding.

I am going to say no on the police unions but yes on the for profit prison system.

Partly False.
Traffic enforcement? Absolutely. There are demonstrated, documented evidence of ticket quotas to make budgets.

Not just preserve jobs, but also to preserve funding.

True

Yep. Police are just dying to put themselves in a position to ruin their fricking lives for simply doing their jobs. Good observation.
most cops don't care that some of the laws they enforce are unjust/unnecessary.

What a great question! Thanks for stirring the debate. I can LwYs count on you to make me think.
I'm gonna skip this question so you can mark it wrong on your test.

that's a narrow way to look at it. if while in prison you teach them some skills needed to support themselves in theory you would have less relapse. if i get out of jail and can't eat you're damn right i'm stealing again.

In Louisiana the Sheriff's have more power than any police union.

How loaded with BS is a dumb question like this?

The police unions want drug laws to justify civil asset forfeiture, which is a significant source of funding. Civil asset forfeiture can still happen in non-drug related cases, but it is far far more difficult to justify. In a drug case, they can confiscate cash and any assets claiming that they are either being used to traffic drugs, facilitate the sale of drugs, gotten in exchange for drugs, or were purchased with revenue earned through the sale of drugs. Police departments seize these assets, often without a criminal conviction (and even sometimes without a charge) and then sell them off at auction and pocket a big chunk of the proceeds. It’s literal highway robbery.
The desire to have a certain amount of crime doesn’t come from the police union, but the private prison industry whose business model depends on making sure as many beds of theirs are occupied as possible. More criminals-more prisoners-more money.
