RE: Police Have a Duty Not to Enforce Unjust Laws

in #philosophy7 years ago

I support the sentiment, but in asking the police to only enforce the just laws, you're asking them to act as judges. Police should enforce the laws as written. It is up to our judges to determine what is just. Our judges and juries need to step up and stop punishing people for these immoral laws.

Sort:  

I agree entirely I think the police should be abolished, but while they are here, they should refuse to enforce unjust laws.

The correct reaction of a policemen (in theory) would be to resign and stop supporting the system. If they only enforce some laws they will be fired sooner or later anyways.

Btw are there any just laws?

As long as the consequences for breaking laws are incarceration or death, then I would say no, there are no just laws.
