This is a good compromise for the police, but it is a lousy one for the citizen. It is the back door to tyranny. Instead of getting the law repealed the police and the public come to an understanding that the law won't be enforced, but the law stays on the books, giving the police a pretext to arrest people they can't prove other charges against. If there is a bad law it needs to be repealed, not ignored.

Politicians they stop people from doing small fry shit and then do fuck all about people killing each other.
It's what the wire shows us to great effect.
How daft we have become.

Hamsterdam!

This show ruined TV for me.  Everything I watch now just looks like shit.

Colvin was my favorite character on the show too.

This analogy regarding the beer bottle was spot on. It is a prelude to the broken windows theory. You have to have common sense, if some kid is chucking a beer being stupid you stop him, if a man who is covered with concrete, spackle or grime from a hard days labor is enjoying a cold one on a hot day, discretion may be in order. The people in the community will respect you for it, my two cents.

The cops aren't shit, the suits who write the ridiculous rules for them to enforce are. That was kind of the point of the whole show.
