Don't Spare the Courts -- For the Sake of the Individual

There are too many laws, too many crimes, too much crimianal prosecution in the state of California.

Instead of locking up individual offenders for drug posession, the state of California should allow charities and private non-profits to intervene with health care. With the forced closure of more courts, law enforcement will have no choice but to release and decline to prosecute non-violent, victimless crimes. If the state of California suspended enforcement of the drug laws, they would save millions, perhaps billions in wasted resources catching, indicting, and incarcerating these individuals.

Drug abuse is a health problem and a moral calamity which cannot be treated with legal action. If the forced closure of courts is the only way to force local and state police to stop prosecuting these offenders, then so be it.
