Why was he let go with so many priors?
Arrested != convicted
If someone managed to get arrested so many times without getting a conviction the one or other time, it would be a cause for a harrasment claim against the police.
Ethical catch and release
What? Is he too small?
Why should he be locked up just because of a bunch of stupid laws?
Maybe I'm just insane, but I think that laws making it illegal to be on meth while driving are reasonable. That's just me though.
Because the law is still valid? If you consider the law stupid, do something against it.
I personally don't consider it stupid to forbid driving under influence, regardless of the means.
Are you asking me or telling me? Because either way no it isn't. Laws are bullshit and you should break them just on principle.
Every layer of the legal system is broken, and lots of people benefit from not fixing it.
