for decades, creating thousands of new "crimes" (like speeding) and the
police do inflict significant social harm by enforcing them. Yes, in a sane
world these made up crimes would be stricken off the books and the much
smaller police, preferably private police, would only enforce justified
laws. I would however say that this isn't an argument against police in
general but rather an argument against stupid people voting to elect
depraved and stupid politicians who create harmful laws.
