    I interpreted this as “it’s shitty to write terrible laws, but even shittier to just blithely enforce them and vaguely acklowledge that they are shitty while doing so”.

    After all making laws doesn’t itself matter in the slightest, what matters is enforcement so enforcing terrible laws is the worse thing.

      Concrete example: Houston food not bombs. You couldn’t pay me an amount of money to harass people feeding the homeless.

      Also, just following orders is not a defense.
