Kids having fun on scooters doing illegal things.
Comment on The Vancouver Police
Karmanopoly@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI 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

One is a felony the other a misdemeanor

Fun fact: Vancouver is in Canada, and in Canada there’s no such thing as a felony or a misdemeanor.

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.

Why is doing drugs illegal?

Because of the law

It seems you’re stuck on Step 4 in Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development:
