How about if I’m not bothering anybody then don’t even arrest me?

I misunderstood that comment above. My bad.

What do you mean? People get arrested for possession of weed for example that they plan to consume by themselves, not bothering anybody. Then they get locked up. You rather lock them away, than try to rehabilitate them? This applies to so many cases. Of course there are cases where the verdict says prison but at least try to keep people out of prison. But wait the prison system is a corporation trying to make money.

Uh did you misread it? That's exactly his point, people getting arrested when they weren't even bothering anyone.
