    I mean if you want to get specific what I really want is to remind police that doing drugs is illegal and they should focus on busting those people…instead of kids having fun on scooters

      riding scooter at 12 seems to be illegal too in vancouver, and people have fun on drugs too, so seems to me both things are pretty much interchangeable in your argument

      Busting drug addicts will do ZERO to help the drug and crime problems. Even law enforcers will tell you that.

      Those problems are so much more complex, and require fundamental reforms in social policies, mental healthcare, education, youth programmes, city planning etc. And then there’s the issue of dealing with the gangs, smugglers and foreign organized syndicates bringing the stuff into the country.

      Kids driving recklessly on scooters (which are often modified) are:

      A) A danger to themselves B) A danger to pedestrians they could crash into C) A serious danger to cars that swerve to avoid them when they go out on the main road.

  So was giving shelter to undesirables in Nazi Germany. Laws are not inherently moral.

    The temporary decriminalization of doing drugs in British Columbia expired in January 2026

    So doing illicit drugs like crack or fentanyl on the streets is currently illegal again.

  Putting someone in timeout maybe works for three year olds but it doesn’t work for adults even if you hold them there 1000 times longer. Restitution and rehabilitation is a significantly more effective solution and results in much lower recidivism. Only reason to lock someone in a box is if they present a significant danger to the public, and that’s not to punish them, but to protect others.
