@Paradox25 We are not all potential criminals, at least not in the way you put it.
”...that one night where we drank too much and got pulled over for a DUI…”
If you don’t break the law by drinking and driving, you don’t get busted for DUI. This can’t happen to “anyone,” just those stupid enough to get behind the wheel after drinking.
”...that day I got caught with weed…”
We all know weed is illegal. You wouldn’t get caught if you weren’t in possession of an illegal substance. Again, can’t happen to “anyone.”
”...that evening where I had punched a guy in the face for insulting my girlfriend…”
Oy…you big man, you. If my husband let his testosterone (and fists) solve a problem with some idiot and ended up in jail, I’d be way more pissed off than if he had simply said something to the guy. Luckily, my husband isn’t going to assault someone for just saying something insulting.
The only people that are potential criminals, in this sense, are the ones that knowingly and willingly CHOOSE to break the law.
I do agree, however, that criminals don’t give away all of their human rights when they break the law. But it’s not because we’re all potential criminals.
