If the cop doesn't catch you, what's the chance you turn your life around before you get caught as an adult?
I'd suspect it's better to get caught, recidivism rates are relatively low in Canada.
This isn't necessarily someone who "needs to turn their life around." This situation applies to someone who wanted to try ecstasy or shrooms with their friends and listen to EDM, or made a tray of pot brownies.
I am not pro 16 year-olds doing drugs, but lots of kids do drugs without ruining their lives. Most people try something other than booze before they hit 18. Having police in the schools to just hang around is more harm than good.
And yet your scenario had them dealing drugs and carrying a knife in their backpack.
A tray of pot brownies at home with your friends is not going to get the school liaison officer busting down your door.
Brownies in a backpack to share after school and a multi-tool is all you need. Even just the brownies at a school.
We're not really going to convince each other, so have a good night.
Can you show me a single arrest for a high school student caught with brownies and a multi-tool that ended up being a felony?
You fabricate potentials, but where's the reality?
